Introduction.
radiant branches manifolded together, linked by
a tail pipe to a vacuum fan discharging the spent
products of combustion to atmosphere. A
system may comprise of just one burner and
one vacuum fan, to multiple burners in multiple
radiant branches with one or more vacuum fans.
To enable exact matching of operational needs
within an area, distances between burners and
ratings of the burners can vary. The unique
feature of ‘ARC’ series is a radiant system which
provides uniform heat coverage of the floor
area, eliminating hot/cold spots.
The tube into which the burners are mounted
and over which the reflectors are fitted and
emits the maximum heat is called the radiant
tube. The radiant heat emitted from the hot tube
is directed downwards by reflectors. The
remaining interconnecting tube is called the tail
pipe and radiates with less intensity.
The operating temperatures of the tubes
generally range from 400°F – 900°F max.
The action of the vacuum fan is three fold; to
create a high negative pressure within the
radiant tube and tail pipe so as to discharge the
spent products of combustion from the system
to a point outside the building being heated; to
control the flow of gas and air through each
burner in stoichiometric proportions; to draw
carrier air into the tube system at the start of
each radiant branch, in order to distribute the
heat from the flame along the tube.
Welcome to the range of AmbiRad ARC
Continuous radiant tube heating system. Local
regulations may vary and it is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure that such regulations
are satisfied.
All installation, assembly, commissioning and
service procedures must be carried out by
suitable qualified competent persons and
conform with local building codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
When assembling, installing, commissioning
and servicing is undertaken on radiant tube
heaters specified in these instructions, due care
and attention is required to ensure that working
at height regulations are adhered to at the
mounting heights specified.

1.2 Warnings
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Clearances to combustibles must be
maintained in all situations. Failure to
maintain clearances to combustibles could
result in a serious fire hazard, injury or death.
Minimum clearances must be maintained from
vehicles, aircraft and all items below the
system.
In locations used for the storage of combustible
materials signs shall be posted to specify the
maximum permissible stacking height to
maintain required clearances from the heater to
the combustibles. In addition the manufacturer
recommends posting these signs adjacent to
the heater thermostats for enhanced visibility
MECHANICAL/SUSPENSION HAZARD
During each operating cycle, this
equipment will expand and contract. The
suspension method, gas connection and the
total installation must safely allow for this
movement. Failure to comply with the above,
could result in serious fire or explosion hazard.
Beware of sharp edges on reflectors, tubes and
metal components. Always wear protective
gloves as sharp edges could cause injury.

1.3 Burner Model Definitions
ARCxxLR = Continuous radiant tube heater.
xx denotes kW rating. Models available; 12, 18,
24, 32, 38 and 46
1.4 Heater Suspension
1.4.1 First considerations
• Clearances from combustibles must be
maintained. (See figure 1d)
• For ease of servicing there should be a
minimum clearance distance of 1’6”
between the burners of the heating system
and the building wall. This measurement
can be reduced for perimeter type systems.
(See figure 1c).
• For ease of servicing and burner removal
minimum clearances should be maintained.
(See figure 1e and 1f). In exceptional
circumstances the burner lid may be slid
horizontally for removal thus reducing the
vertical distance.
• Ensure that the suspension is sufficiently
flexible to allow for thermal expansion.
1.4.2 Suspending the heater - General
1.4.2.1 The first support is always positioned at
the support lug suspension point on the end
vent burner combustion chamber.
1.4.2.2 Subsequent supports are placed
approximately 9ft apart, including one at each
combustion chamber location. This gives a
maximum load per support of 53lbs.
1.4.2.3 A support must always be located at a
maximum distance of 6’ 6” from a tee or elbow
fitting.
1.4.2.4 Except for the combustion chamber
support lug suspension points, suspension
support brackets are installed to support the
tube section which is then covered with
reflectors.
1.44.2.5 Tail pipe hangers are installed for the
tube section which will be without reflectors.
If there are any doubts as to the strength or
suitability of roof steelwork to which heaters are
to be suspended, please refer to a Consultant,
Architect or owner of the building.
Attachment to the heater support lugs should be
made by a ‘speed link’, D shackle, carabiner clip
or in the case of drop rods, a closed formed
hook. The hanging attachments to overhead
steelwork etc. must be purpose made to good
sound engineering practice or of a proprietary
type fixing. They must be adequately fixed and
designed to carry the whole weight of the
heater. In the event of suitable roof steelwork
being unavailable, additional steelwork should
be fitted to enable vertical hangers to be used
for suspending the heaters.
These methods are illustrated in Figure 1a and
1b. If there are any doubts as to the strength or
suitability of roof steelwork to which heaters are
to be suspended, please refer to a Consultant,
Architect, structural engineer, or owner of the
building.
The suggested mounting heights for AmbiRad
heaters are given in table 1 below.
1.5 Wall Mounting
These radiant tube heaters can be wall mounted
using the appropriate bracket.
When using the wall mounting brackets the
heater must be inclined at an angle between 35°
and 55°, when side wall (perimeter) reflectors
are not used.

1.7 Gas Connection and Supply
The gas connection on the heater is ½” N.P.T
external thread.
Injector sizes and manifold pressure for the
burners are shown in the table 3. The gas
supply piping and connections must be installed
so that the minimum pressure stated is
achieved.
A gas shut off valve and union should be fitted
in the gas supply line close to the heater and a
⅛” N.P.T plugged tapping, accessible for test
gauge connection, provided immediately
upstream of the appliance gas inlet.
It is essential to provide some flexibility in the
final gas connection preferably by use of an
approved flexible gas connector or stainless
steel expansion loop.
Take care when making a gas connection
to the heater not to apply excessive turning
force to the internal controls.
Depending on the specific installation, the
flexible gas hose may be routed to the gas cock
at any of the following angles in relation to the
burner:
Care must be taken to observe the minimum
pipe bend diameter (minimum 10”, maximum
14”) & pipe expansion distance (minimum 1⅛”,
maximum 3¾”).
The correct installation as shown will allow
for approx 4” of movement due to expansion.
WARNING: Before installation, check
that the local distribution conditions,
nature of gas and pressure, and adjustment
of the appliance are compatible.
