BACKWARD INCLINE FAN
campoequipment.com
Campo Equipment in Brampton, Ont., is excited to announce the addition of two new make-up air units to the DF650 (650,000 BTU) line which was unveiled at the ARA Show in February 2020 in Orlando, Fla. The DF1600 (1.6 million BTU) and DF2500 (2.5 million BTU) make-up air heaters are constructed with the exact same features and benefits as the DF650. The backward incline fan provides quiet operation, high static pressure, low amp draw and high CFM. The unique heat push-through design locates the fan behind the burner, reducing wear-and-tear on the fan and virtually eliminating unplanned shutdowns and repair costs. Burner modulation ensures the burner never shuts off. Fuel options are propane and natural gas. The heater includes lockable casters for safer installations and forklift pockets for easier mobility. The units are stackable for off-season storage. Campo’s proprietary power management system stabilizes the incoming power to acceptable levels, protecting your equipment and keeping service calls to a minimum. DF-series heaters are certified to be used with or without ducting and meet CSA standard ANSI Z83.7-2017/CSA 2.14-2017. These built-in features result in increased ROI for you and a positive customer experience, culminating into return customers. The heater is best suited for heating space as the building envelope is beginning to be closed up. The heater is designed to sit outside or in a doorway so it can draw fresh outside air. This helps to pressurize the space and the introduction of fresh outside air causes the moist air and contaminates to be forced out. This helps reduce dry times for compounds such as concrete, paint and adhesives during the construction process.
