3. TECHNICAL FEATURES
The modulating condensing warm air heaters of PCH series
have been designed to be installed in air handling and roof-top
units as heating units.
The premixing and modulating technology allows the heater to
value). The unit can be used on all machines requiring air to
be heated during their operation (such as dryers, ventilation
systems etc.).
The unit can operate independently. To start up the unit, simply
connect it to the mains power supply and to the gas mains.
The heat output of modules ranges from 5 to 97 kW. For greater
output levels, multiple PCH modules must be combined. They
can be assembled in parallel to reach great heat output (up to
400 kW).
The units can be controlled in three ways:
• proportionally, with a 0-10 Vdc external control;
• with ON-OFF control;
• with cascaded operation, when more units are installed.
The PCH module can be installed with the front panel, supplied
as an accessory, positioned directly on the outside, with no
additional guard.
The air is heated through its passage on combustion chamber
and exchanger pipe surfaces.
The heat exchanger complies with the construction requirements
for equipment where combustion gases produce condensate.
The combustion chamber and the surfaces in contact with
condensation (such as the pipe bundle and exhaust hood),
are made of AISI 441, in order to provide high resistance to
condensation.
The following table shows the conversion of stainless steels used:

AISI 441 1.4509 X2 CrTiNb 18
The innovative design and large surface of the combustion
and durability.
The burner is made entirely of stainless steel with special
mechanical solutions to ensure optimal reliability and
performance levels, as well as high thermal and mechanical
resistance.
The control located inside the burner housing allows the service
centre to check and view the working phases and identify any
faults that may have occurred.
The PCH heater has a modulating mode of operation; the thermal
output and, therefore, the heat output (fuel consumption) vary
according to the heat demand. When the heat demand from the
environment reduces, the heater uses less gas and increases

a sophisticated air/gas mixing technique and by regulating at
This technology increases the heater safety as the gas valve
burners, the CO2content remains constant throughout the heater
when the heat output reduces.
If there is no combustion air, the valve will not supply gas; if

4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions for installing and setting the heater are intended for
to read safety warnings.
Installation instructions for units including a PCH module are the
same as those applying to warm air heater installation because,
from the regulatory point of view, they are warm air heaters.
4.1. Installing the module inside the units
OUTDOOR installation: the module outer panel is outside the unit.
unit, creating a gap between the module and the outer panel
of the unit.
OUTDOOR Installation
Either “C” type (sealed combustion chamber) and “B” type (open
combustion chamber) can be used for the OUTDOOR installation.
If the heater is installed outdoor, pay attention to correctly install
the seal on the door; make sure preventive measures are taken
to prevent water from entering the burner casing (see the picture
showing the position of the seals in the previous pages).
In order to install a “C” type module with watertight combustion
chamber, connect an air intake pipe and associated terminal
to the air port.
If a “B” type installation is required (with open combustion
by APEN GROUP as standard.
The OUTDOOR installation must be carried out by using the front
a special panel to be made in compliance with the drawings (in
.cad format) that APEN GROUP can supply on request.
INDOOR Installation
Both “C” type (sealed combustion chamber) and “B” type (open
combustion chamber) can be used for the INDOOR installation.
"B" type heater with combustion circuit open to the environment
in which it is installed
In this case further precautions must be taken in addition
to those required to prevent water from entering the burner
housing. For example, the compartment where the heater will
be connected to the gas supply will need to be ventilated by
internal section. These vents must be equally split between the
top and the bottom of the panel (EN525) and the gap must be
airtight with respect to the air treatment passage. For this type
of heater, the combustion air can be drawn directly from the
gap; therefore great care must be taken to completely seal such
gap, in particular in installations where the unit fan is located
downstream of the PCH heater.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Under no circumstances should supply air be
extracted from the compartment of the air handling unit or
the roof-top unit by the supply-air fan as this would cause,
when the burner is switched o, very hot air from the heat
exchanger to pass through the burner, causing irreparable
damages to the burner fan.

4.2. Installing the Module
In order to install a PCH heater into an air handling or roof-top
unit, we recommend to prepare four support guides similar to
those shown in the adjacent picture, or to make sure that the
heater, located inside the housing, is placed and locked safely
in place to prevent its movement and/or damage during the
transport.
These guides/supports can also be totally or partially closed to

THIS section can be calculated by following the instructions
provided in paragraph 4.3 "Bypass calculation" or by using a
calculation software supplied on request by APEN GROUP.
Precautions to be taken for surrounding areas
with a temperature control probe, installed on the heat exchanger
centreline.
The thermostat may be accessed from the outside through
the burner housing during maintenance and/or replacement
operations.
All components belonging to the air handling or roof-top
separators, etc.):
