150 SCE Series Duct Furnace/Blower Unit for Commercial/Industrial

Heating and Makeup Air

REZNOR 150 SCE Series Duct Furnace Blower Unit for Commercial Industrial
Heating and Makeup Air

Renzo Model SCE is a factory-connected assembly of a separated combustion duct furnace and blower cabinet. Sizes are available with heating capacities from 125,000 through 400,000 BTUH gas input. The standard package is a heating-only system, but factory-installed gas and inlet-air control options are available to meet makeup air or combination heating/makeup air specifications. This system is designed for use in building areas with negative pressure and/or extremely dirty or mildly corrosive atmospheres.
Model SCE is available for use with either natural or propane gas, as specified. All units are equipped with required limit and safety controls.
The duct furnace in this factory-connected system is designed to separate combustion air from the air in the heated space. The furnace is engineered and manufactured in accordance with the ANSI definition of “separate combustion.” While discharging exhaust air, the power venter draws in combustion air from the outside atmosphere. Exclusive outside combustion air prevents dirt, lint, dust or other contaminants in the heated space from entering the combustion zone of the furnace.
A specially designed combustion-air inlet/vent terminal assembly is required. This specially designed concentric terminal assembly requires only one building penetration.
Model SCE units are design-certified by the Canadian Standards Association for installation in the U.S. and Canada.
