Industrial radiator ME616

Cab heater
ME616 — Take the chill out and keep it out
Freestanding engineer's heater designed for retrofit applications in harsh railroad environments. The unit integrates a strip-heater control switch and circuit breakers for both the cab heater and strip heater, simplifying cab wiring and reducing installation time.

Features:

• Built-in strip heater control switch and circuit breakers for all circuits.
• Exclusive double hairpin heater element with approximately one-third more surface area for lower watt densities, lower surface temperatures and longer element life.
• Heavy-duty DC-rated electroswitches for reliable switching.
• No voltage-dropping resistors used.
• Low-Heat setting to prolong element life.
• Over-temperature switches to prevent overheating.
• Field-proven blower and motor for long, trouble-free performance.

Technical specifications:

• Type: Freestanding cab (engineer) heater for retrofit installations.
• Controls: Integrated strip heater control switch; circuit breakers provided for both cab and strip heaters.
• Heating element: Double hairpin design providing ~33% more surface area to reduce watt density and surface temperature.
• Electrical: DC-rated heavy-duty electroswitches; no voltage-dropping resistors; over-temperature protection.
• Operation: Low-Heat mode available to extend element life.
• Mechanical: Proven blower and motor selected for durability in railroad environments.

Applications:

• Retrofit of locomotive cabs and other rail vehicle cabins requiring reliable local heating, integrated controls and simplified wiring.
