Compact Ruggedized Unit Heater Designed To Start In Sub-Freezing Temperatures Down To -40F.
The KBP-RCS is a ruggedized compact unit heater, engineered for extreme cold environments and designed to operate in sub-freezing temperatures down to -40°F. Electric Motors are difficult to start in frigid temperatures, so the King cold start heater is designed with a 24VAC heater that warms the motor before the main heating circuit and fan turns on. This 24VAC preheat circuit engages when the ambient temperature is below 32F degrees and warms up the fan motor so that it starts and runs properly.
KBP-RCS also includes heavy-duty, vibration and shock-resistant construction, tested to MIL-STD-810 standards, to ensure reliable and consistent heat output in extreme conditions. The low-profile mounting bracket includes vibration isolation hardware, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial applications, ensuring warmth and safety in frigid temperatures. The flow-through design efficiently moves air by pulling air from the back of the heater and discharges it out the front, easily heating a large space.
Features a provision for adding an optional 24V thermostat for remote temperature control, making it compatible with 24V wifi thermostats, like the Nest. Also includes an integral fan delay to dissipate heat from the elements during the cool down period, maximizing the heat exchange in the room. King’s exclusive dual Pic-A-Watt steel fin elements allow customers to select from a range of wattage options, tailoring the heater to an area’s specific heating requirements.
