STEAM/HOT WATER UNIT HEATERS

Vulcan Hydronic Heating Equipment Division

Vulcan Heating Equipment has had broad experience in the manufacture of steam/hot water unit heaters for many years.

Offered in both horizontal and vertical air delivery models, Vulcan unit heaters are a complete heat distributing plant, encased in an attractive, streamlined baked enamel housing. Designed for ceiling mounting, they provide a convenient, low cost method of heating warehouses, stores, factories, and other large open areas.

Vulcan, responding to the requirements of the heating industry, has now expanded its unit heater line to one of the most complete in the industry, twenty-three horizontal and fifteen vertical steam/hot water models!

Most Vulcan unit heaters are equipped with totally enclosed motors with internal thermal overload, statically and dynamically balanced fans for quiet operation, and with the installer in mind, we designed a versatile hanging system for easy installation! Vulcan horizontal unit heaters are attractively finished in dark gray jackets with light gray air deflection louvers.

Vulcan is proud of the reputation it has earned in the hydronic heating equipment market for product quality, design, innovations and customer service. The corporation has pledged its full range of engineering and manufacturing resources toward maintaining an unwavering commitment to the steam/hot water heating equipment industry.

Cabinet Unit Heaters

Vulcan
CABINET UNIT HEATERS

Selection and “Rough In” Made Easy – Only the Lengths Vary
The Vulcan Cabinet Unit Heater is the industries most recent design. Years of manufacturing and engineering experience combined with a concern for appearance have resulted in a crisply styled unit that will blend with almost any room decor and provide reliability, durability, individual control and quiet operation. The wide selection of floor, wall and ceiling units with a variety of air flow arrangements allows for exactly matching design requirements. Field repainting to match the decor is possible and factory applied decorator colors are available as an option. Recessed models are provided with a field installed wall seal that allows for full or partial recessing depending on the model. The wall seal is also available as an optional kit for full or partial recessing of most other models.

As unit size increases, only the length changes. The depth and height remain constant, thus allowing the designer to have uniformity of appearance when units of various sizes are installed in adjacent areas. The standard 16 gauge front panel is rugged enough to withstand harsh treatment. Exposed cabinetry is provided with a prime coat of neutral eggshell baked enamel, which in many instances can serve as the finish. Back and side panels are 18 gauge. The pedestal base for floor models is painted black and is the height of most mop boards. The solid state speed control provides infinite variations from high to low speed, giving the occupant finger tip control over fan speed and room temperature.

Commercial Finned-Tube Radiation for Energy-Efficient Heating Systems
Versa-Line Finned-Tube Radiation is Vulcans most versatile and flexible, multi-purpose commercial hydronic heating enclosure line. For over 50 years, it has provided users an outstanding BTU output/penny of cost. Versa-Line offers architects,engineers and contractors a full range of enclosure styles, heights, depths, lengths and element selections. Known in the trade as a reliable workhorse, Versa-Line features include small tube sizes and low water temperature ratings.

Versa-Line is used in commercial heating installations – structures that demand good looks, durability and low price. Ideally suited for schools, general office buildings, common walkways and high traffic areas.
