Preface
GoGaS high intensity heaters represent an efficient and comfortable alternative to conventional
heating systems. The infrared gas fired heater is an atmospherically operated infrared heater
which converts most of the energy applied (natural gas or LPG) into thermal radiation. The
sensible radiation component within the vicinity of persons allows a reduction in the air
temperature, thus leading to energy savings.
The Technology
The GoGaS KMI Novus high intensity heater from the KMI series is a high-quality product with
ratings from 6 kW (21,000 BTU/h) to 36 kW (125,000 BTU/h). The modern injector burner allows
almost pollution-free operation, from the smallest to the largest heater unit, with only one
combustion chamber. The stainless steel combustion chamber is integrated in an insulated
hood. The hot waste gases collect under the hood and pre-heat the gas-air mixture in the
combustion chamber, leading to a maximum degree of radiation. The reflector is made of highly
reflecting material and directs the captured radiation towards the vicinity of persons.

Important
This appliance must be installed in accordance with current connection and installation
regulations and may only be used in adequately ventilated rooms. The installation and operating
instructions must be inspected and understood before installation and before start-up.
Before installation it must be checked whether local gas distributions, gas types and gas
pressures as well as the settings of the appliance are compatible.
General information
GoGaS infrared heaters are manufactured in accordance with ANSI Z83.19-2009/CSA 2.35-
2009. Each appliance is subjected to a function test before it leaves the factory and is preset to
the relevant gas type. For setting up and operating radiation equipment, the following
regulations and guidelines must be complied with.
This heater maybe approved for either indoor or outdoor installation. Not for use in
residential dwellings, refer to Rating plate.
Installation Codes
The installation must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
General Installation and Gas Codes/Electrical Codes
If an external electrical source is utilized, the heater, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or current Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Aircraft Hangar Installation
Installation in aircraft hangars must conform to the Standard for Aircraft Hangars, NSI/NFPA 409
in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada
Public Garages
Installation in public garages must conform to the Standard for Parking Structures, NFPA 88A or
the Standard for Repair Garages, NFPA 88B, in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2
Installation Codes in Canada.
Parking Structures
Technical requirements are outlined in ANSI/NFPA 88A (USA)
Warning: Heaters should be installed so that the minimum clearances marked on the heater will
be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater.
Important
These instructions, the layout drawing, local codes and ordinances, and applicable
standards such as apply to gas piping and electrical wiring comprise the basic information
needed to complete the installation, and must be thoroughly understood along with general
building codes before proceeding.
Only personnel who have been trained and understand all applicable codes should
undertake the installation. SRP Representatives are Factory Certified in the service and
application of this equipment and can be called on for helpful suggestions about installation.

Serires KMI - 6 - November 4, 2013
Layout Considerations
1. Because high intensity heaters are un-vented, ensure that adequate ventilation will be
available; most codes require a minimum of 4 cfm per 1000 BTUH of installed heat
capacity in natural gas, 4.5 cfm per 1000 BTUH for propane. Also see section on
Ventilation.
2. Check local codes for mounting requirements and the requirement for flexible gas
connectors or rigid mounting.
3. Do not locate heaters near windy locations such as door openings.
4. Do not locate heaters in very dusty environments
5. Avoid placing heaters below sprinkler heads or provide more than adequate clearance.
Spot Heating
High intensity heaters are ideal for spot heating applications. The following are key
considerations to the success of the application:
1. Minimize any wind in order to maximize the effect of the radiant heat.
2. Placing two smaller heaters opposing each other will be more comfortable than placing
one large heater.
3. Hang the heaters back and at an oblique angle (rather than directly overhead) in order to
maximize the exposure of the peoples’ bodies to radiant heat.
The following charts are intended for guidance only. Specific applications may require other
parameters.

Minimum Clearances to Combustibles
Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic,
Plexiglas or other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be
considered combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above
room temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding,
canvas, tri-ply, etc…) may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the
installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are protected from
degradation.

Installations Instructions
Figures below illustrate the typical mounting configurations for the Series KMI heaters;
verify which is permissible by local codes.
Heaters must be hung at an angle between 0° and 30°. Typically, at the walls they are at
30° facing into the building. The gas manifold must always be at the lower side of the
heater.
Minimum 3/16"diameter S hooks and No. 1/0 chain (200 lb./ 91 kg working load) is
recommended. Close S hooks after installation.
Never use a gas line as a hanging support and never locate gas or electric lines over the
heaters.
Maintain clearance to combustibles.
Ensure that there is a plugged tap upstream of the heater or a fitting on the valve itself to
verify incoming pipeline pressure.
Do not leave the heater connected when pressure testing the pipeline. The high pressure
will damage the equipment.
High Intensity Mounting Instructions / Configurations
GoGaS High Intensity Heaters are approved to be operated horizontally and a maximum of
30° inclined angles (as per figure below). Mounting kits are available and can be ordered
separately. Use mounting points located on the heater for installations.
