Heating a commercial or industrial space can be costly, so as the seasons change owners and facility managers naturally consider ways to minimize this cost. Investing in an 80/20 direct fired make-up air heater should be high on their list.
KEES Model DFG units with the 80/20 option are extremely efficient. The direct-fired heater in each of these units provides 100% combustion efficiency. The 80/20 option allows the unit to recirculate up to 80% of the air volume from the indoor space. Warming this air to the desired temperature requires much less energy than bringing 100% cold outside air up to temperature.
KEES UNIT TAMES A TORNADO
One recent project, the Howlin’ Tornado Water Slide at Great Wolf Lodge, features a KEES make-up air unit that works behind the scenes to keep the air fresh, safe and comfortable for the occupants of the indoor waterpark. For the water park project, the lodge needed a reliable, energy-efficient make-up air unit that came with an independent certification and with on-site training. The result? KEES provided this iconic Wisconsin Dells resort with a unit that moves 17,000 CFM of clean, filtered air.
PRECISE CONTROLS ENSURE CLEAN COMBUSTION
Recirculating air sounds like a simple concept, but when combined with a direct fired burner, recirculation requires specialized controls. Because the combustion occurs directly in the airstream, ensuring clean combustion is very important. KEES Model DFG make-up air units have clean combustion thanks to a precise control system. ETL has independently tested our units and verified they meet the stringent requirements of ANSI standard Z83.18 for recirculating direct gas-fired heating applications.
ACHIEVING OPTIMAL EFFICIENCY IN LARGE SPACES
Ideal applications for 80/20 DFG make-up air units include industrial and production buildings, warehouses and maintenance facilities for vehicles, trains and aircraft. The 80/20 units can also help control building air pressure. Additionally, they can be used for a wide range of make-up air and/or space-heating applications.
