Campo Equipment DF4500 Make-Up Air Heater

Campo Equipment says its DF4500 Make-Up air heater is powerful, efficient and built for the demands of the rental market.

The unit delivers up to 4.5 million BTUs and provides a maximum heated air output of 25,000 CFM.

Campo Equipment notes at the heart of the DF4500 is the company’s innovative ‘Fan First’ design, which keeps heat away from critical components. This eliminates the need for drive belts, pulleys and bearings. According to Campo Equipment, this forward-thinking approach reduces premature failures, lowers maintenance costs and keeps rental customers satisfied.

The DF4500 is powered by liquid propane or natural gas and features a wide scope modulating burner system ranging from 742,000 to 4.5 million BTUs. As a result, the customer can significantly reduce fuel costs as the unit can maintain target temperatures efficiently by burning only the fuel required to satisfy the remote thermostat.

Built for real-world jobsite flexibility, the DF4500 includes a dual voltage selector switch (220V/480V) and dual power hookups (Cam-Loks and 50A twist-lock), which are all conveniently housed behind a tamper-proof access door. These standard features provide technicians with installation options that simplify setup on virtually any jobsite.
