Propex Heatsource LPG Heater. HS2000 - 2KW RV Kit

Propex HS2000 Heater

The HS2000 is a thermostatically controlled blown air heating system fuelled by LPG. Heatsource is designed for a variety of automotive and RV applications as a source of heat totally independent of the engine.

The Propex HS2000 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 heater will automatically ignite and run until the cabin reaches the selected temperature. The surface mounted thermostat is easy to fit. 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.
With forced air combustion and the Propex two stage stainless steel heat-exchanger, the HS2000 is a clean and highly efficient way to heat your vehicle. 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 heater is 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 rather than using cold air from outside. The high quality motor/fan combination and innovative current reducing electronics, both of which have been improved in the latest versions, reduce current consumption dramatically. The microprocessor electronics regulates the motor voltage so that the fan speed does not alter from 10 to 15 volts.
Heatsource blown air heaters conform to the latest European & New Zealand 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:

Supplied with a complete fitting kit to suit vehicle applications. In motohomes and caravans the unit is usually mounted under a bench seat or in a cupboard, flued downwards through the floor and out to the side of the vehicle using flexible stainless ducting. The 22mm i.d. ducts are supplied as standard in lengths of 750mm. 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 ducting.

Installation must be done by a qualified gas fitter
