1.7 Applications

The G series series hot air generators run on LPG (Liquid petroleum gas) and methane as the combustion fuel.

The G series generators are of direct combustion type. The air is heated by means of the thermal energy

generated during combustion and is transferred to the environment to be heated with the combustion products,

thereby rendering the thermal energy produced 100% available. The environment must be suitably ventilated in

order to ensure sufficient air exchange.

Do not use the generator in basements or below ground level or in premises destined for domestic use.

There are a series of safety devices which come into effect in the event of faulty function. The electronic control

device intervenes in the event of irregular flame or flame which tends to go out, stopping the burner and igniting

the burner block button indicator.

G56-70 and G56-100 stop if there is a fault in ventilation.

The materials used in building the machine ensure reliability and durability in time.

This device must be used only for the functions for which it was intended

- Hot air generator.

Any other use is to be considered improper and dangerous.

1.8 Versions

Hot air generators G series are available in the following versions:

1458200 Generatore G36-25 25kW 3.000m³/h 230V 50Hz 1~+N
