Propex
Blown Air Heaters - HS2000 & HS2800
The
HS2000 and the HS2800 heaters by Propex are automatic, thermostatically
controlled blown air heating systems
fuelled by propane or butane gas. The Heatsource range is
designed for a variety of automotive and marine applications
as a source of heat totally independent of the engine.

Applications
Propex Heatsource blown air systems are used in many applications
throughout the world, these include Motorhomes, Caravans,
Boats, Cranes, Horseboxes and Mobile Workshops etc. Both
12 and 24 volt versions are available.
Control
Both the HS2000 and HS2800 are supplied as standard with
a solid state electronic thermostat which automatically
switches the unit on and off to maintain the desired temperature.
When the room temperature drops below the selected level,
the Heatsource will automatically ignite and run until the
cabin
reaches the selected temperature. The thermostat is an easy
to fit surface mount design and integrates with the new
electronics fitted to the HS2000 and HS2800 heaters. An
easy to operate panel mounted digital timer/thermostat specifically
designed for heatsource, is also available. Unlike some
heaters, there is minimal electric current consumption during
ignition so cycling the heatsource on and off does not have
the effect of additional battery drain.
Efficiency
With forced air combustion and the Propex two stage
stainless steel heat-exchanger, the HS2000 and HS2800 are
a clean and highly efficient way to heat your vehicle or
boat. Air for combustion is taken from outside and passed
into the combustion chamber having been mixed with gas during
three aeration stages, it is ignited automatically and heats
up the large surface area of the heat-exchanger. The Heatsource
units
are totally room sealed and exhaust all products of combustion
externally through the neat 22mm i.d. stainless steels flue
pipe. To add to the efficiency, cabin air is normally re-circulated
in preference to using cold air from outside. The HS series
heaters are also very efficient on electrical current consumption,
the
high quality motor/fan combination and innovative current
reducing electronics, both of which have been improved in
the latest versions, means that even the larger HS2800 draws
less than 2 amps during normal operation.
Quiet
Operation
Propex heaters are designed to be quiet in operation without
compromising air throughput and heat output. There will
always be some air noise from a system that produces a healthy
throughput of air, however, by using high quality balanced
fans and smooth enclosed motors with ball race bearings,
noise is kept to a minimum. Noise is also unaffected by
high voltage, a common occurrence with battery charges,
solar panels etc permanently wired. The micro-processor
electronics regulates the motor voltage so that the fan
speed does not alter from 10 to 15 volts.
Safety
Heatsource blown air heaters conform to the latest European
standards for both the appliance and the electronics and
during the rigorous testing the focus is very much on safety.
The heaters also have to comply with an enhanced version
of the Electro Mechanical Compatibility Directive to ensure
they do not interfere with other electronics and that they
are immune from interference by other electronics. The intelligent
electronics are continuously monitoring the operation of
the heater to make sure everything is operating correctly
and safely. This includes monitoring of the flame, case
temperature, combustion airflow, gas solenoid valve and
voltage. Should any of these stray outside of the predetermined
levels, the heater will be switched off and the red light
on the thermostat will indicate a fault by flashing a certain
number of times.
Installation
Both the HS2000 and HS2800 are supplied with complete fitting
kits to suit either vehicle or marine applications. In vehicles
and caravans the unit is usually mounted in a bed-box or
cupboard, flue downwards through the floor and out to the
side of the vehicle using flexible stainless ducting. These
ducts (22mm i.d. for the HS2000 and 26mm i.d. for the HS2800)
are supplied as standard in lengths of 750mm for vehicles
and 1 metre for boats. The ends are finished with neat stainless
steel end-caps which comply with EN624. The heat is ducted
to one or more outlets through tough highly flexible 60mm
or 76mm ducting. In the case of multi-outlet installations,
the first outlet is an open outlet with directional control
and the rest are closable and are used in conjunction with
the appropriate sized plastic Y branches. Marine applications
feature an attractive polished stainless steel through hull
fitting which accepts the stainless steel pipes for the
flue outlet and the combustion air inlet. Extra ducting
and stainless steel bulkhead mounting brackets are also
part of the marine fitting kits.
Economy
The chart below reflects the consumption of gas if the heater
was running continuously. In reality, both heaters have
similar very high efficiency ratings, so the overall gas
consumption will be about the same because the HS2800 will
be running for a shorter period of time before the thermostat
switches it off.

NEW
Propex Heatsource HS2000E
The
HS2000E heater is an automatic thermostatically
controlled blown air heating system fuelled by propane/butane
gas or 230V mains electric.
Applications
Propex Heatsource blown air systems are used in many applications
throughout the world, these include Motorhomes, Caravans,
Boats, Cranes, Horseboxes, Trucks, RV’s etc.
Control
The HS2000E is supplied as standard with a solid state electronic
thermostat which automatically switches the unit on and
off to maintain the desired temperature. When the room temperature
drops below the selected level, the Heatsource will automatically
ignite and run until the cabin reaches the selected temperature.
The thermostat is an easy to fit surface mount design and
integrates with the new electronics fitted to the HS2000E
heaters. Simple intuitive controls enable easy switching
between the gas and electric modes and a constant heater
feedback loop enable quick and easy system diagnose. Selectable
electric hook up power levels easily ensures you do not
over load your available supply.
Gas
Effeciency
With forced air combustion and the Propex two stage stainless
steel heat-exchanger, the HS2000E is a clean and highly
efficient way to heat your vehicle or boat. Air for combustion
is taken from outside your caravan or boat and passed into
the combustion chamber having been mixed with gas during
three aeration stages, it is ignited automatically and heats
up the large surface area of the heat-exchanger. The Heatsource
units are totally room sealed and exhaust all products of
combustion externally through the neat 22mm i.d. stainless
steels flue pipe. To add to the efficiency, cabin air is
normally re-circulated in preference to using cold air from
outside. The HS series heaters are also very efficient on
12 volt electrical current consumption drawing less than
1.7 amps on gas operation or 2.2 amps during mains electric
operation.
Mains
Electric
For those using a mains hook up there is the option of using
the powerful electric element with efficient heat exchanger
built in. Three settings are available giving 500W, 1 KW
or 2 KW of heat output and drawing a maximum current of
9 Amps. The motor speed is altered to suit each power level
to ensure maximum efficiency or, when on low 500w setting
keeping motor and air noise to a minimum for night time
running. The heater is supplied with a mains cable and moulded
3 pin plug.
Installation
The HS2000E can be supplied with complete fitting kits to
suit either vehicle or marine applications. In vehicles
and caravans the unit is usually mounted in a bed-box or
cupboard, flued downwards through the floor and out to the
side of the vehicle using flexible stainless ducting. These
ducts (22mm i.d. for the HS2000E) are supplied as standard
in lengths of 750mm for vehicles and 1 metre for boats.

In
the absense of electricity, the S Series Trumatic S3002
/ S5002 can still be operated without the fan. Warm air
is distributed by the extensive Truma warm air system. High
efficiency for low gas consumption
Truma
S3002 Heater |
Perfect
for use in caravans, the S3002 Heater range is fitted
to virtually all caravans. All leading manufacturers
in the UK and throughout Europe have supported and
fitted this very popular product for over 5 decades.
Also available as a retro-fitted product, the S3002
has a range of options and accessories available with
it, for example, the Ultraheat and TEB 2 Fan. Predomintaly
a very highly efficient but low gas consuming fire,
the S3002 is today commonly used with an Ultraheat
electrical element as so many campsites now come with
electrical hook up. To best suit your caravan, the
S3002 has a variety of different front cases to choose
