A starting point for your project. Catalogue area is a reference value. Air temperature, wind, insulation and mounting affect the required output. This is a starting point for an enquiry, not a heat-loss calculation or a guarantee of comfort.

Positions are illustrative. Quantity, aiming, spacing and installation clearances must be confirmed for the actual site. Connected load is the sum of rated powers, not daily energy consumption.
