Product details

RHU heaters use electric elements and a fan to deliver warm air to the cabin. The range includes compact housings with a choice of outlets and the separate RHU8 configuration, so the heater can be selected around available space and electrical capacity.

Electric heating operates independently of the A/C refrigeration circuit.

Compact RHU outlet options: one, two or three.

Separate RHU8 build with a two-speed fan.

What you get

The quotation identifies the heater model, voltage, element power, outlets and controls. Compact RHU and RHU8 are different builds. The compact body is 300 × 150 × 125 mm plus 35 mm outlet projection; those dimensions do not apply to RHU8. Cabin temperature control is separate from the internal over-temperature protection.

Common applications

  • Machinery cabins
  • Sleeper and rest spaces
  • Mobile workshops and equipment shelters
