Flexibility

The Trane electric unit heater shows its flexibility in installation and operation. Intended for industrial, commercial or institutional use, the Trane electric unit heater is available for 208 to 480-volt, single or three-phase operation. Units from 3.3 to 10 kW for 208 and 240-volt operation may be converted easily from single to three-phase operation in the field. Single speed fan on 3.3 to 20 kW. Two-speed fan operation is available on 25 kW through 50 kW. Single speed only available on 60 kW through 100 kW units.

Uniform Air Distribution

The Trane unit heater uniformly directs the air to exactly where it’s needed. A specially designed deep-drawn venturi assures uniform air distribution. The outward-drawn venturi channels the air forward for maximum, uniform air throw. Outlet diffusers are provided to properly direct the heated discharge air.

In order to minimize the potential for hot spots on the heating coil, inlet louvers evenly distribute intake air over the entire heating element.

Trane electric unit heaters are designed with totally enclosed, permanently lubricated industrial motors. The air-over-motor design reduces operating temperatures, promoting long motor life. Thermal overloads provide additional protection for major circuits, in case normal operating temperatures are exceeded.

Application Considerations

Model UHXA

Abbreviated descriptions of UL classes, groups and divisions. Before selecting any heater for a particular application, refer to Article 500 as well as other standards referenced in the National Electric Code.

• Class I: Equipment does not have surface operating temperature in excess of the ignition temperature of the specific gas or vapor.
• Class II: Equipment does not have surface temperature greater than the ignition temperature of the specified dust.
• Group D: Atmospheres such as but not limited to acetone, alcohol, gasoline, lacquer solvent vapors, natural gas, propane or other gases or vapors of equivalent hazard.
• Group E: Atmospheres containing combustible metal dust regardless of resistivity, or other combustible dust of similar hazard characteristics having resistivity of less than 105 ohm-centimeter.
• Group F: Atmospheres containing carbon black, charcoal, coal or coke dust.
• Group G: Atmospheres containing combustible dust having resistivity of 105 ohm-centimeter or greater.
• Division I: A location in which ignitable concentrations of flammable material exist under normal operating conditions.
• Division II: Locations in which flammable materials will normally be confined within closed containers and escape only in the case of accidental rupture, breakdown or during maintenance operations. Any equipment approved for Division I is automatically also approved for Division II.

Selection and application of electric unit heaters should consider the location, classification and properties of flammable vapors, liquids, gases, dusts and fibers which may be present. Each room, section or area should be considered individually.

For further information consult National Electric Code and National Fire Prevention Association (ANSI) standards. All models conform to OSHA requirements when mounted at any height.

Installation Conditions

1. 1. Refer to owner’s manual.
   2. The Trane explosion-proof electric unit heaters have been ETL listed for maximum surface temperatures. Use only in atmospheres having an ignition temperature higher than 165°C (T3B) for Class I and Class II operation.
   3. Altitude restrictions — see specification table.
   4. Heater must be installed in permanently mounted upright position and connected to fixed power supply.
   5. Do not operate in atmospheres corrosive to steel and aluminum.

Selection Procedure

Model UHEC, UHRA, UHXA, UHWA, UHCA, UHAA

Calculate the heating loads using the NEMA, ASHRAE, or other accepted heating load calculation method. Determine the quantity and size of unit heaters to be used. To maintain uniform temperature and recommended air circulation, it is suggested that cfm should be adequate to accomplish three air changes per hour.

For maximum comfort, the use of smaller units with lower airflows is suggested to provide more uniform temperature and even airflow. In warehouses and storage areas where uniform heat distribution and temperature control is of lesser importance, it is desirable to use fewer units with greater capacity.

Unit heaters mounted in the horizontal discharge position are most effective when heat is directed along the perimeter of the building wall with the airflow of each unit supporting the airflow of the other units to create a constant flow of warm air.

Model UHEC and Model UHRA

Unit heaters in the vertical position are ideal for use in high ceiling areas and areas where low mounting heights would interfere with personnel or equipment activity. Units mounted in the vertical discharge position should not be mounted higher than the unit’s published maximum mounting height ratings. When unit heaters are used to temper areas such as loading dock doors, one or more units should be arranged to blanket the exposed opening.

Stratification Control Option

Electric UHEC unit heaters are an efficient way to provide quick, efficient heat when and where it’s required. A wall thermostat with an optional stratification thermostat makes the Trane unit heater even more energy efficient. The stratification thermostat recovers trapped ceiling heat, saving electrical energy. When ceiling temperatures are high, the stratification thermostat allows the fan to operate without energizing the heating element. Recovering this otherwise wasted heat assures substantial energy savings.

Diffuser Options

Optional diffusers lend added air pattern versatility to individual vertical down blown installations as shown in illustrations.
