• FAN and MOTOR: Totally enclosed, 1-speed, 1-phase, permanently lubricated, thermally protected motors with unit bearings on 3 KW - 20 KW models. Totally enclosed, 2-speed, 1-phase, permanently lubricated, thermally protected motors with sleeve bearings on 25 KW - 50 KW models. All motors mounted with rubber insulators to minimize vibration & noise. Fan over-ride purges unit of residual heat at shutdown.

Additional Information

The Markel 5100 Series Electric Unit Heaters (3.3KW thru 50KW) can be mounted for horizontal or vertical discharge.

Horizontal unit heaters are recommended in low bay areas with maximum 15 to 18 foot ceilings. These should be concentrated along outside wall or other areas of greatest heat loss; spaced to set up a generally circular air movement, each heater supporting the air stream of the other.
