Download BrochureThermobile Bio Energy oil fired heaters can be operated using Bio Oil, Bio diesels and various vegetable oils. The following must not be used: solvents, thinners, petro-chemical based oils, transformer oil or any oil above S.A.E. 90.
Full combustion is achieved in a vaporising system and non-burnable residue is retained in the burner pan.
The Bio Energy B and the Bio Energy B Thermo are recommended for workshops where no explosive vapours are present. Model Bio Energy B produces radiant heat only, whilst the Bio Energy B Thermo produces a combination of radiant heat plus hot air from the top mounted ‘Thermo’ blower.
Models Bio Energy 1, Bio Energy 2 and Bio Energy 3 have been developed primarily for workshop heating. Model Bio Energy 1 produces a combination of radiant heat plus hot air from the top mounted ‘Thermo’ blower. Models Bio Energy 2 and Bio Energy 3 have a high capacity axial fan providing a heated air flow of 3,000 cubic metres per hour.
The high efficiency of the Bio Energy 2 and Bio Energy 3 is achieved by a built-in, large surface heat exchanger, through which all gases have to pass before entering the flue. A high capacity axial fan draws air from the workshop over the heat exchanger and combustion chamber and expels warm air into the building, providing a constant recycling of warm air.
All models are equipped with a fuel tank that can easily be removed for cleaning purposes. Thermobile Bio Energy oil heaters are backed by 50 years of experience in the manufacture and development of space heaters. They are built using the most up-to-date technology and carry a 12 month warranty, ensuring full customer satisfaction. The heating technology permits the end user to recover the investment costs within possibly one heating season because of the savings made from using Bio Energy Oil instead of a more expensive fuel oil.
The heater must be installed on a completely level concrete floor. The positioning of the heater in the workshop must take into account the following factors:
Except for the Bio Energy B and Bio Energy B Thermo, it is recommended that the unit is installed so that the combustion fan draws in clean air from outside the building, ensuring that no vapours, dust or oxygen can be sucked in from the workshop floor.
Bio Energy B, Bio Energy B Thermo, Bio Energy 1 and Bio Energy 2 – the complete flue kit consists of:
Bio Energy 3 – the complete flue kit consists of:
To prevent leakage of rainwater into the pipe at joints which may be exposed above roof level, a change-over section is supplied in the flue kit. This section of pipe is provided with a male crimped coupling at each end and is designed for use where the flue passes through the roof: one end should be installed inside the building and one outside. Any subsequent components are installed inverted, i.e. with the male coupling upwards, and fitted and secured in the normal way. The top of the flue pipe is fitted with the rain cap.
All flue pipe connections must be adequately sealed. A flue draught stabiliser is essential for every model and is supplied with the standard flue stack. For efficient operation a minimum flue height of one metre above the roof apex and six metres above ground level is required. A detailed instruction and service manual is supplied with every Thermobile heater.
All lengths and fittings are fabricated from 0.55mm Type 430 stainless steel. The installation of the flue stack is the most important aspect in the efficient operation of any Bio Energy heater.
Bio oil heaters should not be operated on waste oil until they have been registered with the relevant Local Authority. Application forms are available from your local District or Borough Council.
