The models and quantities shall be as indicated on the schedules and drawings or as agreed with the Destratair engineer. The units shall consist of a high performance axial fan c/w EC motor and integrated finger guard housed within an Aluzinc cabinet fitted with an aluminum alloy distribution grille. Control of the fans shall be either by a local DE-PT10 potentiometer or via the BMS from a 0-10V signal. The electrical connection shall allow for continuous operation of the fans during the timed heating period. The fans shall be connected in accordance with the Destratair wiring diagram for either single phase or three phase supply as appropriate for the www.destratair.co.uk | 2.0 model. www.destratair.co.uk | 2.0 The Destratair fans shall be mounted at approximately 3m from the floor in positions agreed with the consultant and Destratair engineer. The fans shall be mounted on custom built brackets (supplied by others), and set at an angle to project air towards the roof of the building. The exact angle shall be determined by the Destratair engineer. tel: 0330 2232507 Why Destratair Air Distribution - The Destratair product is unique in that it becomes the prime air mover not only pushing hot air back down into the occupied zone, but distributing the heated or cooled air evenly around the space. Destratair fans are wall mounted at about 3m from the floor and throw air up across the roof creating an air movement back to low level. This minimises draughts in the occupied zone unlike roof mounted units that blow downwards Installation costs – Using the Destratair product as the prime air mover can save a great deal on installation costs as there is no need to strategically position multiple heaters and distribution pipework or ductwork around the building to ensure coverage. This also means less pipework and equipment to maintain, and eliminates the need for ductwork cleaning. Product Overview Maintenance costs are further reduced in that the Destratair fans are easily reached without the use of high level access equipment.
