ENJOY THE ADDITION OF A HIGH-PERFORMANCE FAN TO MOVE THE HEAT OUTSIDE
Dynamic Heat Control Plus is a powered solution that allows heat to be pulled from the fireplace enclosure and directed to any living area in the home that needs it, including outdoors (when not needed inside your home).
DHC+ allows for easy installation of a TV or sensitive artwork above the fireplace and uses a variable speed which allows the installer to reduce the fan speed to suit the specific installation.
***While it is possible to use DHC Plus to move heat to another location within the home, please consider the following points carefully during the planning phase:
- The sound of the DHC Plus blower is similar to a bathroom fan (see “sound considerations” section).
- The DHC Plus system should not be used in small enclosed rooms with low ceilings, such as a small bathroom, as the room will be quickly pressurized and the heat transfer from the fireplace will be reduced / eliminated.
- The DHC Plus moves almost all the useable heat. If the room is small in volume, it can quickly become very warm. You may move unwanted heat from one room to another, which may not satisfy the customer. Therefore, carefully consider the amount of heat and the size of the room where it is being transferred to before beginning installation.
- Where the DHC Plus system is used to transfer heat to another room, it is recommended to install a local variable speed switch so that the heat transfer can be disabled from the remote location if desired. The DHC Plus system does not include a remote room thermostat.
Installation Options
*see DHC Plus installation manual for more details.
1. EXTERIOR INSTALLATION
DHC Plus is installed on the exterior wall of the appliance enclosure. It does not require venting, ducting, or a bulkhead, and is therefore the simplest installation option. However, careful consideration should be made for the sound of the DHC Plus blower. See “sound considerations” and “exterior installation” sections for details.
2. REMOTE EXTERIOR INSTALLATION
DHC Plus is installed remotely from the appliance enclosure. Though it requires venting and a bulkhead, the increased distance from the blower ensures sounds from air flow will be significantly less apparent. See “sound considerations” and “remote exterior installation” sections for details.
3. REMOTE INLINE INSTALLATION
DHC Plus is installed inline anywhere between the appliance enclosure and the hot air exhaust assembly. Similarly to remote exterior installations, this installation requires venting and a bulkhead, with the addition of ducting. This installation offers the most opportunity for unique configurations, including through multiples rooms or floor levels. See “remote inline installation” section for details.
