1. INTRODUCTION
The Powrmatic CA-G range of gas fired forced draught, closed
flue, fanned circulation air heaters cover a heat output range of
29.3 W (100000 Btu/h) to 586.2 W (2000000 Btu/h) and are
intended primarily for heating commercial or industry premises.
They are certified for use on Natural Gas, Group H - G20 and
Propane - G31.
Models CA-G 400 - CA-G 2000 in UF and UD variants are for floor
mounting whilst all models are available in CF, CD, HF and HD
variants for mounting at high level. (U - Upright; C - Counterflow;
H - Horizontal; F - Freeblowing; D - Ducted).
CA-G heaters have a centrifugal fan assembly fitted upstream of
the combustion chamber / heat exchanger assembly to circulate
the air being heated. The CA-G ###**/D range, in having no fan
fitted, is for ducted systems where the air moving fan is by
others.
Heaters are fitted as standard with fully automatic monobloc
forced draught gas burners and monobloc gas control
assemblies.
Options include High/Low or modulating burners, Deep V
filters, proportional air dampers, combustion air inlet adaptors
and inlet and outlet duct spigots.
Each air heater must be connected to a closed flue system only.
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1994

3. General Requirements
3.1 Related Documents
The installation of the air heater(s) must be in accordance with
the rules in force and the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety
Regulations, Building Regulations and the I.E.E. Regulations for
Electrical Installations.
It should be in accordance also with any relevant requirements
of the local gas region, local authority and fire authority and the
relevant recommendations of the following documents.
BritishGasPlcPublications
IM/11 : 1989 Flues for Commercial and Industrial Gas Fired
Boilers and Air Heaters
IM/16 : 1988 Guidance notes for the installation of gas pipewor ,
boosters and compressors in Customers premises (excluding
domestic installation of 25mm and below).
BritishStandardsCodeofPractice
BS 5588 Fire precautions in the design and construction of
buildings.
Part 2 : 1985 Code of Practice for Shops
Part 3 : 1983 Code of Practice for Office Buildings
BS 6230: 1991 Installation of Gas Fired Forced Convection Air
Heaters for Commercial and Industrial Space Heating.
Those appliances having an input rating not exceeding 60 W
viz. CA-G 100 and CA-G 150 must be installed in accordance with
the relevant recommendations of the following documents.
BS 5440 Flues and Air Supply for gas appliances of rated input
not exceeding 60 W (1st and 2nd family gases).
Part 1 - Flues, Part 2 - Air Supply
For CA-G 100 and CA-G 150 units reference should also be made
to BS 5864. Code of Practice for installation of gas-fired ducted-
air heaters of rated input not exceeding 60 W.
3.2 Location
The location chosen for the air heater must permit the provision
of a satisfactory flue system and an adequate air supply. The
location must also provide adequate space for servicing and air
circulation around the air heater.
The heater(s) must not be installed in conditions for which it is
not specifically designed e.g. where the atmospheric is corrosive
or salty and where high wind speeds may affect burner operation,
and they are not suitable for outdoor use.
Where the location of the air heater is such that it might suffer
external mechanical damage e.g. from overhead cranes, for lift
truc s, it must be suitably protected.
CA-G units are designed to operate in a maximum ambient
temperature of 25 °C.
3.3 Gas Supply
3.3.1ServicePipes
The local gas underta ing should be consulted at the installation
planning stage in order to establish the availability of an adequate
supply of gas. An existing service pipe must not be used without
prior consultation with the local gas underta ing.
3.3.2Meters
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the local gas
underta ing or a local gas underta ing contractor. An existing
meter should be chec ed, preferably by the gas underta ing, to
ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the total rate of gas
supply required.
3.3.3.InstallationPipes
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with
IM/16:1988. Pipewor from the meter to the air heater must be of
adequate size. Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the inlet
gas connection of the heater. The complete installation must be
tested for soundness as described in the above Code. The
complete installation must be tested for soundness as described
in BS 6230.
3.3.4.BoostedSupplies
Where it is necessary to employ a gas pressure booster the
controls must include a low pressure cut off switch at the booster
inlet. The local gas underta ing must be consulted before a gas
pressure booster is fitted.

3.4 Flue System
Detailed recommendations for fluing are given in BS 5440, Part
1 (Flues) and IM/11.
The air heater must be connected to a closed flue system. The
cross sectional area of the flue serving the appliance must be not
less than the area of the flue outlet to the air heater.
Materials used for the flue system should be mechanically
robust, resistant to internal and external corrosion,
noncombustible and durable under the conditions to which they
are li ely to be subjected.
Prevention of condensation within the flue should be an important
factor in the design of the flue system. In order to minimise
condensation the use of double walled flue pipe or insulation is
recommended. If double walled flue pipe is used it should be of
an acceptable type.
Where condensation in the flue is unavoidable provision should
be made for condensation to flow freely to a point at which it can
be released, preferably into a gully. The condensation pipe from
the flue to the disposal point should be of non-corrodible
material of not less than 22mm (1/2") size.
Facilities should be made for disconnecting the flue pipe(s) from
the air heater(s) for inspection and servicing purposes. Bends
with removable covers should be fitted for inspection and
cleaning purposes where considered appropriate.
The flue should terminate in a freely exposed position and must
be so situated as to prevent the products of combustion entering
any opening in a building in such concentration as to be
prejudicial to health or a nuisance.
It is recommended that consideration be given to the fitting of
a terminal at the flue outlet, however, where the heater flue is less
than 200mm (8") in diameter an approved terminal must be fitted.
3.5 Air Supply
In buildings having a design air change rate of less than
0.5 /h, and where CA-G heaters are to be installed in heated
spaces having a volume less than 4.7 m3 / W of total rated heat
input grilles shall be provide at low level as follows:-
(1) for heaters of heat input less than 60 W, the
total minimum free area shall not be less than
4.5 cm2 per ilowatt of rated heat input.
(2) for heaters of heat input 60 W or more, the
total minimum free area shall not be less than
270cm2 plus 2.25 cm2 per ilowatt in excess
of 60 W rated heat input.
The air vent(s) should have negligible resistance and must not
be sited in any position where it is li ely to be easily bloc ed or
flooded or in any position adjacent to an extraction system
which is carrying flammable vapour.
Where the air heater(s) is to be installed in a plant room the air
heater(s) requires the plant room housing it to have permanent
air vents communicating directly with the outside air, at high
level and at low level. Where communication with the outside air
is possible only by means of high level air vents, ducting down
to floor level for the lower vents should be used.
Air vents should have negligible resistance and must not be
sited in any position where they are li ely to be easily bloc ed
or flooded or in any position adjacent to an extraction system
which is carrying flammable vapour.
Grilles or louvres should be so designed that high velocity air
streams do not occur within the plant room.
The basic minimum effective area requirements of the air vents
are as follows:
(a) Low Level (inlet)
(1) for heaters of total rated heat input less than 60 W:
9 cm2 per ilowatt of rated heat input
(2) for heaters of total rated heat input 60 W or more:
540 cm2 plus 4.5 cm2 per ilowatt in excess of
60 W total rated input.
(b) High Level (outlet)
(1) for heaters of total rated heat input less than 60 W:
4.5 cm2 per ilowatt of rated heat input;
(2) for heaters of total rated heat input 60 W or more:
270 cm2 plus 2.25 cm2 per ilowatt in excess of
60 W total rated input.
3.6 Air Distribution System
The following notes are of particular importance.
For free-blowing units it must be ta en into account that the
buoyancy of the heated air leaving the heater and air patterns
within the space being heated will modify the air throw pattern
achieved. In buildings having a low heat loss where single units
are required to cover a large floor area and in buildings with high
roof or ceiling heights Calecon thermal economiser units should
be fitted to ensure even heat distribution and minimise
stratification respectively. Care should be ta en to avoid
impeding the air throw with rac ing, partitions, plant or machinery
etc. Various outlet configurations are available as optional
extras to modify the air throw pattern to suit particular site
conditions.
For ducted units all delivery and return air ducts, including air
filters, jointing and any insulation or lining must be constructed
entirely of materials which will not contribute to a fire, are of
adequate strength and dimensionally stable for the maximum
internal and external temperatures to which they are to be
exposed during commissioning and normal operation. In the
selection of materials account must be ta en of the wor ing
environment and the air temperatures which will result when the
overheat limit thermostat is being commissioned. Where inter-
joist spaces are used as duct routes they should be suitably lined
with a fire-resisting material.
A full and unobstructed return air path to the air heater(s) must
be provided.
If the air heater(s) is installed in a plant room the return air
inta e(s) and the warm air outlet(s) from the heater(s) must be
fully ducted, in to and out of the plant room to avoid interference
with the operation of the flue by the air circulation fan.
The openings in the structure of the plant room through which
the ducting passes must be fire stopped.
Care must be ta en to ensure that return-air inta es are ept clear
of sources of smells and fumes, and in special circumstances
where there is any possibility of pollution of the air by dust,
shavings etc., precautions must be ta en by carefully positioning
return air inta es and by the provision of screens to prevent
contamination.
In addition, where there is a ris of combustible material being
placed close to the warm air outlets, suitable barrier rails should
be provided to prevent any combustible material being within
900mm (3ft) of the outlets.
3.7 Electrical Supply
Wiring external to the air heater must be installed in accordance
with the I.E.E. Regulations for Electrical Installations and any

local regulations which apply. Wiring should be completed in
flexible conduit.
Heaters CA-G 100 - CA-G 300 are supplied by 230V - 1ph, 50Hz.,
the remaining heaters by 400V - 3ph, 50Hz. The method of
connection to the main electricity supply must facilitate the
complete electrical isolation of the air heater(s) and the supply
should serve only the air heater(s).
The isolator must have a contact separation of at least 3mm in
all poles. The method of connection should be provided adjacent
to the air heater(s) in a readily accessible position.
See the accompanying wiring diagram for the heater electrical
connections.
4. Installation of Air Heater(s)
4.1 General
Befo e installation, check that the local dist ibution condi-
tions, natu e of gas and p essu e, and adjustment of the appli-
ance a e compatible.
The air heater must be installed in accordance with the rules in
force and the relevant requirements of any fire regulations or
insurance companys requirements appertaining to the area in
which the heater is located, particularly where special ris s are
involved such as areas where petrol vehicles are housed, where
cellulose spraying is carried out, in wood wor ing departments
etc.
Whichever method of mounting the air heater is used the
following minimum clearances for installation and servicing
must be observed.
To the front The depth of the heater
To the rear 1.0m (3.3ft)
To at least one side 1.0m (3.3ft)
Above the heater 1.00m (3.3ft)
Heaters mounted at high level must not be installed at a height
of less than 1.8m (5.9ft)
Any combustible material adjacent to the air heater and the flue
system must be so placed or shielded as to ensure that its
temperature does not exceed 65 °C (150 °F).
IMPORTANT:
1. No air heater shall be installed where there is a foreseeable
ris of flammable particles, gases vapours or corrosion inducing
gases or vapours being drawn into either the heated air stream
or the air for combustion. In such cases installation may only
proceed if the air to be heated and the air for combustion are
ducted to the heater from an uncontaminated source preferably
outside the building. In certain situations where only airborne
particles are present it may suffice to fit filters on the air inlet
ducts of the heater. Advice in these instances may be obtained
from Powrmatic Ltd.
4.2 Fitting the Air Heater
Floor mounted heaters must be installed on a level
noncombustible surface.
Suspended heaters must be installed either on specifically
designed cradles or platforms that are capable of adequately
supporting the weight of the unit (See Tables 2a and 2b, Page
5) and allowance must be made for any ancillary equipment.
Before installing the heater any existing trusses, walls, brac ets
etc., must be inspected to ensure they are suitable. All supports
should be protected against the effects of rust or corrosion. The
means of mounting should also provide for service access
wherever possible.
If noise levels are of particular importance the heater should be
insulated from the structure of the building by installing it on
suitable anti-vibration mountings. In all such cases and, in
addition, when the heater is suspended it is essential that all gas,
duct, electrical and flue connections to the heater are made with
flexible connections to maintain continuity of connection. In the
case of the flue connection single wall stainless steel flue is
deemed to flex sufficiently to meet the requirements.
4.3 Connection of Air Heater(s) to Flue
System
A single wall Tee piece is supplied with each heater and must be
fitted to the flue outlet soc et on the heater. The flue system then
connects directly on to the tee. For flue sizes refer to Tables 1a
and 1b Page 4 . All units must be fitted with a flue having a
minimum height, from the heater to the flue terminal, of 2m (6.5ft).
Horizontal runs of flue are not permitted.
If necessary a single offset using two 45° bends can be included
to avoid obstructions. The maximum equivalent resistance of
the flue system must not exceed 20 pa. Details of how to calculate
the resistance of the flue to be installed are given in Appendix
A.
4.4 Condensate Drainage
The design of the flue system should minimise the formation of
condensation, however when this is envisaged to be a problem
provision should be made for condensation to flow to a joint
where it can be drained, preferably into a gully.
4.5 Gas Connection
A servicing valve and downstream union must be fitted at the
inlet to the air heater gas controls assembly to facilitate servicing.
The gas supply to the air heater must be completed in solid
pipewor and be adequately supported.
WARNING
When completing the final gas connection to the heater do not
place undue strain on the gas pipewor of the heater.
4.6 Electrical Connections
All units are fully pre-wired and only require final connections
for the incoming mains supply and completion of the control
circuit (230V) via a room thermostat, time cloc etc. The electrical
supply must be run to a point adjacent to the heater and be
suitably terminated to provide an isolation point that will prevent
remote activation of the unit during servicing. The heater
electrical panel is located behind the lower front panel and cable
entry points are provided in the adjacent heater framewor .
Reference must be made to Table 4 (Page 6) to ascertain the
electrical loading of the air heater(s) being installed so that
cables of adequate cross-sectional area to safely carry that load
are used for the electrical installation. The length of the
conductors between the cord anchorage and the terminals must
be such that the current carrying conductors become taut before
the earth conductor if the cable or cord slips out of the cord
anchorage. All external controls must be of an approved type.
See the wiring diagram a ompanying these instru tions.
When installing CA-G D models they must be electrically
interloc ed to the air movement system so that this is started in

Supplied By www.heating spares.co Tel. [phone]
9
the same manner as the air heater fan would be.
A connection from heater terminal No 9 must be made to one side
of the fan motor contactor coil, the other side of the coil being
connected to Neutral. Under no circumstances must the fan
motor electrical supply be ta en direct from the internal wiring
of the heater.
5. Air Distribution System
5.1 General
CA-G *D models are designed for use with duct wor to more
precisely define the point of air delivery, and /or provide ducted
return air or ducted fresh air inlet. All ducting must be
independently supported of the air heater. Joints and seams of
supply ducts and fittings must be securely fastened and made
airtight.
5.2 Noise Reduction
If deemed necessary consideration should be given to mounting
the heater on resilient pads, or equivalent, to minimise transfer
of noise and vibration to the structure of the building.
It is recommended that ducting should be connected to the
heater spigots via an airtight flexible coupling of noncombustible
material. Before fitting coupling it must be ensured that a
maximum clearance of 13mm (1/2") will be maintained between
the ends of the ducting and the heater spigots.
If required sound attenuators may be fitted in inlet and outlet
ducts to reduce airborne fan noise. Materials used in outlet
sound attenuators must be capable of withstanding 100 °C air
temperature without any deterioration.
5.3 Room Thermostat Siting
The room thermostat should be fitted at a point which will be
generally representative of the heated area as far as temperature
is concerned. Draughty areas, areas subjected to direct heat e.g.
from the sun, and areas where the air movement is relatively
stagnant e.g. in recesses, are all positions to be avoided for siting
the thermostat.
The thermostat should be mounted about 1.5m (5ft) from the
floor.
Any room thermostat, frost thermostat, time cloc etc. must be
suitable for switching 230V, 5A and must be of the 'snap action'
type to minimise contact bounce.
For ele tri al onne tions of external ontrols see the
a ompanying wiring diagram.
6. Commissioning & Testing
6.1 ElectricalInstallation
Chec s to ensure electrical safety must be carried out by a
qualified person.
6.2 GasInstallation
The whole of the gas installation, including the meter, should be
inspected and tested for soundness and purged in accordance
with the recommendations of IM/16:1988.
6.3 Air Distribution System
The system should be chec ed to ensure that the installation
wor has been carried out in accordance with the design
requirements.
Particular attention should be given to the correct arrangement
of delivery ducts and registers, return air ducts and grills and
general adequacy of return air paths.
For CA-G *D heaters ensure that the total duct system resistance
does not exceed the available air pressure of the equipment
supplied refer to Table 2a & 2b (Page5). If the duct system
resistance is less than the available air pressure of the equipment
supplied additional resistance must be introduced e.g. by
adjustment of duct outlet nozzles and balancing of the duct
system.
