Direct-Fired Air Handlers
A direct-fired air handler is a piece of equipment that heats air directly by passing it over an open flame burner within a cabinet. As outside air enters the heater inlet, the colder air absorbs the warmer air as it travels across the heat source. Warm air is delivered into the space with the assistance of a large blower housed within the cabinet, located opposite the burner section. Direct-fired air handlers are an efficient piece of equipment to deliver fresh, clean air into a manufacturing space or paint booth area. Air handlers require minimal ductwork and can be installed indoors or outdoors, horizontally or vertically. Air can be filtered (inlet hood and/or filter section) before entering the space. In warmer weather, the burner can be turned off to provide free ventilation cooling. Heaters deliver 100% combustion efficiency with assistance of 30:1 modulating burner. Heavy-duty, robust frame provides unit stability to accept exterior galvanized panels. Panels are attached via bolt and screw construction and fully weatherized for long unit life. Units are available in an unpainted galvanized or painted finish.
Bananza direct-fired air handlers include several standard safety features. A fused rotary disconnect forces a safe power shut-off to occur before new replacement parts are installed or annual maintenance and service occurs. The high temperature limit switch located on the blower housing (alternatively inside the control enclosure) shuts the air handler off if discharge temperature exceeds setpoint. Additional control options such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide detectors monitor appropriate levels of contaminants for additional safety measures.
HVAC Control Options
Basic Remote Panel
This control is used for make-up air and space heating. The discharge temperature of the heater remains constant as selected on the selection dial. The burner flame is modulated by a discharge temperature control, which is governed by the remote temperature selector. FAN ON/BURNER ON mode: Heater can operate continuously for building exhaust air replacement and space heating by maintaining a constant discharge temperature. FAN ON/BURNER OFF mode: The blower can operate without the burner for summer ventilation.
Standard Discharge Control Remote
This control is used for make-up air and day/night heating of the building. The discharge temperature of the heater remains constant as selected on the selection dial. The burner flame is modulated by a discharge temperature control, which is governed by the remote temperature selector. AUTO/WINTER mode: Heater cycles on/off to maintain space temperature as selected on the thermostat. ON/WINTER mode: Heater can operate continuously for building exhaust air replacement and space heating by maintaining a constant discharge temperature. ON/SUMMER mode: The blower can operate without the burner for summer ventilation.
Deluxe Temperature Control Remote
This control is used for make-up air and total automatic "day/night" heating of the building. A solid-state modulating room Selectrastat fully modulates the burner flame to maintain space temperature and compensate for changing building heat losses or gains. AUTO/WINTER mode: Occupied time: Heater can operate continuously fully modulating Btu/h output to maintain space temperature as selected on the Selectrastat. Unoccupied time: Heater cycles on/off to maintain space temperature as selected on the programmable thermostat (night setback). ON/WINTER mode: Heater can operate continuously fully modulating Btu/h output to maintain space temperature as selected on the Selectrastat. ON/SUMMER mode: The blower can operate without the burner for summer ventilation.
SPRAY-CURE™ Remote Panels
Basic II (Spray) Remote
This control is used for spraying paint with discharge air temperature from 55°F to 90°F. Discharge temperature of the heater remains constant as selected on the temperature selection dial. Burner flame is modulated by discharge temperature control, which is governed by remote temperature selector. ON/OFF switch for booth lights.
FAN ON / BURNER ON mode: Heater operates continuously, supplying make-up air and maintaining a constant discharge temperature.
FAN ON / BURNER OFF mode: Blower can operate without burner for cool down.
Basic II (Cure) Remote
This control is used for curing paint with discharge air temperature from 120°F to 170°F. Discharge temperature of the heater remains constant as selected on the temperature selection dial. Burner flame is modulated by discharge temperature control, which is governed by remote temperature selector. ON/OFF switch for booth lights. FAN ON/BURNER ON mode: Heater operates continuously, supplying make-up air and maintaining a constant discharge temperature. FAN ON/BURNER OFF mode: Blower can operate without burner for cool down.
Dual #2 Remote
This control system incorporates ON/OFF switches and indicator lights for fan, burner and booth lights; SPRAY-CURE™ mode selector switch and indicator light; two discharge temperature selection dials (55°F-90°F and 120°F-170°F); adjustable timers for PURGE and CURE cycle and cure interlock relay. FAN/BURNER/BOOTH LIGHT ON – SPRAY mode: Heater operates continuously, supplying make-up air. Burner modulates maintaining a constant discharge temperature (55°F-90°F) SPRAY-CURE™ Selector switched to CURE mode: PURGE timer (adjustable) is energized. CURE timer (adjustable) is energized. BOOTH LIGHTS turn off. Temperature control switches to CURE selector (120°F-170°F). Burner modulates maintaining a constant discharge temperature. COOL down timer (preset) is energized. BOOTH LIGHTS turn ON. Temperature control switches to SPRAY selector (55°F-90°F). Burner modulates maintaining a constant discharge temperature. Heater turns off.
Digital Dual #1 Remote
This control system incorporates ON/OFF switches and indicator lights for fan and burner; SPRAY-CURE™ mode selector switch and indicator light; two discharge temperature selection dials (60°F-90°F and 80°F-180°F) with digital display; adjustable speed controls for exhaust fan in spray and cure mode and cure interlock relay. FAN/BURNER ON – SPRAY mode: Heater operates continuously, supplying make-up air. Burner modulates maintaining a constant discharge temperature (60°F-90°F). Spray speed pots adjust the booth pressure. FAN/BURNER ON – CURE mode: Temperature control switches to CURE selector (80°F-180°F). Burner modulates maintaining a constant discharge temperature. Cure speed pot adjusts booth pressure.
Digital 60-160 Remote
This control system incorporates ON/OFF switches and indicator lights for fan, burner and booth lights; discharge temperature selection dial (60°F-160°F) with digital display; adjustable speed control for exhaust fan and booth pressure gauge. Optional items include burner lockout and check filter indicator light and remote reset push button. FAN/BURNER/BOOTH LIGHT ON mode: Heater operates continuously, supplying make-up air. Burner modulates maintaining a constant discharge temperature (60°F-160°F). The booth pressure can be adjusted via the speed pit and observed on the pressure gauge.
