AIRREX INFRARED HEATERS

With the current energy price rise and the cost of living increase in the UK, many people are asking how they can reduce their energy consumption and keep their bills as low as possible.

Whilst there are many things we can do to reduce our energy consumption, like switching lights off when they are not in use and switching standby appliances off, when it comes to heating your home, this is a big concern for many people, especially the elderly.

That is why the fuel-powered Airrex heater range is the perfect addition to your home this winter.

Airrex are one of the most popular makes of infra-red fuel-powered heaters, The operating costs of Airrex heaters are constantly low, they contain a thermostatic control, the fuel consumption is low and it is an extremely efficient way of heating your home/workspace through the winter months.

How does Airrex Work?

The Airrex heaters contain an advanced oil burner. It contains an oil burner with an electric fuel pump that moves the combustion gases through the pipelines with a ceramic coating and creates heat as infrared radiation.

The triple combustion process ensures complete and clean combustion. Normal ventilation is sufficient.

The silencing sound system inside the exhaust pipe that compresses and expands the exhaust makes Airrex very quiet, at only 48dB.

The Airrex heater comes in three different sizes, the 200i, 300i and the 800i.

The 200i and the 300i are great for heating areas such as houses, garages, leisure homes, caravans and greenhouses. The 800i is more suited to heating larger spaces such as workshops, event tents and industrial halls.

How do I install Airrex?

• The Airrex Infrared heater does not need separate installation. Just insert the fuel into the tank, plug the heater in to the wall and it is ready to use. The heater is on wheels so it can be transported easily from place to place as required.

Can I control Airrex with my smartphone?

• If you have the Airrex app on your smartphone you can see real-time stats, for example, the temperature will be displayed of the room that is being heated, the amount of fuel left in the heater and if the heater is on or not. The heater can be connected to an existing WiFi.

What is the power consumption of the Airrex Heater?

• When the heater is started up, it will use 85W, after startup, it will take 60W per hour.

Why doesn’t Airrex smell?

• When the chosen fuel is almost completely burnt away, it generated no odour or hazardous gasses. CO2 is created during incomplete combustion, which is when combustion occurs with not enough oxygen. In complete combustion, no carbon monoxide is formed. Airrex’s product development history goes back over 30 years, so the heater’s function has been fine-tuned very carefully.

Does the heat spread evenly?

• Yes, infrared heat is distributed evenly and at distance. A lot of people think that a fan is required for the heat to move around, for example, to get the heat all the way to the other end of a hall or large room. The infrared heater heats up floors, walls and all other materials within the space, meaning no fan is needed.

Which phones is the mobile app available?

• The Airrex App is available for iPhone users via the Apple store and for Android users via the Google Play App Store

How do I install the App?

• Open App Store or Google Play, Locate the Airrex app and install onto your phone.

Can I use the heater without an internet connection?

• The Airrex heater can be used without an internet connection, but the remote monitoring and control features will be disabled.

How is the device controlled remotely?

• You can control the Airrex heater remotely as if you were stood next to it via the app. It will show fuel level, whether the heater is running, error messages and the temperature of the heated space.

Will Airrex restart after a power outage?

• The Airrex will be fully operational after a power cut.

Can I use the device without the app of WiFi?

• Yes, the device can be operated using the control panel or the remote control.

How long can WiFi models survive a power cut?

• All the data from the device is stored in the flash memory, which is a non-volatile memory. Any data is stored for up to 10 years, even if there is no power to the device.

Can more than one person control the heater through the App?

• Yes, just ensure that everyone is logged in with the same ID.

Does the heat spread evenly in large spaces?

• Yes heat is distributed evenly over a long distance. There is no need for a fan as the infrared heater heats up the walls, floor and any other materials in the space.

Why is an infrared heater more efficient than a fan heater?

• A fan heater heats up the air whereas an infrared heater heats the materials in the room. So if you open a door of a room that has been heated with a fan heater, the warm air escapes and the cold air gets in. If the room has been heated with an infrared heater, the materials are warm so the energy is retained

How can there be an odourless diesel heater?

• When the fuel used is burned almost completely, it does not create odours or dangerous emissions. Carbon monoxide is formed by incomplete combustion, with too little oxygen. When combustion is complete, no carbon monoxide is formed. The product development history of Airrex goes back over 20 years, so the heater’s operation has been honed to perfection.

How can I be sure that no hazardous gases are coming out of the exhaust pipe?

• The exhaust emissions of Airrex heaters have been studied and measured in Finland at the energy technology laboratory of Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences (KYAMK). Since 1992, the emission measurement laboratory at KYAMK has conducted exhaust gas measurements for power plants, the process industry and shipping companies.

Refuelling the Airrex heaters are also very simple and efficient as they come with a battery powered fuel transfer pump. Simply attach one end of the pump to the Airrex heater and put the other end in the fuel, press the button and the fuel will automatically be sucked up through the pump and into the heater

Each one of the Airrex AH heaters comes complete with a soft touch control panel and LED screen, making temperature adjustment simple and efficient, you just set it to the temperature you want to room to get to and it will heat up. When it reaches the required temperature it will shut off until the temperature of the room falls approximately 3 degrees below the desired temperature, it will then automatically switch back on again and heat the room up to temperature once more.
