Gas heater RAPID PRO LRP018 GRP0001

Gas Heaters – Efficient Industrial Heating and More

Gas heaters from the Rapid Pro series, manufactured by APEN Group, are a proven line of forced-air units combining ease of operation with high efficiency. Thanks to the closed combustion chamber and the innovative PREMIX burner design, these heaters achieve high efficiency while minimizing emissions of harmful substances. The RAPID PRO LRP018 heater is an ideal solution for heating industrial halls, warehouses, workshops, and public utility facilities.

Construction and Operating Principle

The key to the heater’s efficiency lies in its advanced design. The closed combustion chamber ensures safe operation and minimizes heat loss. The PREMIX burner guarantees optimal mixing of air and gas, resulting in clean combustion and low NOx emissions. The heat exchanger, made of AISI441 stainless steel, ensures durability and corrosion resistance. The system is completed by a powerful forced-air fan with adjustable inlet dampers, enabling precise distribution of heated air throughout the space. The unit draws air from outside via concentric pipe systems (C13 or C33 flue type), further enhancing its efficiency.

Advantages of the RAPID PRO LRP018 Heater

• High Efficiency: Thanks to the PREMIX burner and closed combustion chamber, the heater achieves an efficiency of 91.8–95.8%, resulting in lower gas consumption.
• Eco-Friendly Solution: Low NOx emissions and zero heat loss through the casing make this unit environmentally friendly and compliant with the latest EU emission standards (EU/2281/2016 – ErP 2021).
• Flexible Installation: The heater can be mounted on a wall (using a swivel bracket) or suspended from the ceiling (using additional hangers).
• Lightweight and Compact Design: Facilitates transportation and installation. The heater weighs 73 kg without accessories.
• User Safety: Equipped with safety systems: flame failure protection, overheating thermostat, and gas supply shut-off in case of insufficient air supply.
• Performance: Heating output ranging from 10–15 kW enables efficient heating of large areas. Air flow rate is 2000 m³/h, with air temperature rise of 14–22°C.
• Control Capability: Compatible with external thermostats for precise room temperature regulation.
