Controls / Accessories
Each OUH3 industrial fan heater has a built-in mechanical thermostat as standard. For additional control, see options below.
Add an OUH3-S switch for easy on/off control (without the need to access the mechanical thermostat) and to select ‘fan only’ mode (summer use).
Add a frost thermostat for reliable frost protection irrespective of settings on the mechanical thermostat or the OUH2-S switch.
OUH3s can be controlled electronically via a 7-day programmable thermostat or remotely from a phone via a Wi-Fi thermostat. See below.

Selection
If you would like the experts at BN Thermic to select a suitable heating for your application, please click here to access our enquiry form. Simply provide as much information as you have available and we will respond with a detailed proposal.
In simple terms the output of the installed OUH3 industrial fan heater or heaters must be greater than the heat losses from the building during periods of cold weather. A small amount of heat is lost through the walls, ceilings and floors with more significant losses through windows and doors.
To estimate the heat loss from your building you may like to use our heat loss tool
The estimated heat loss figure is the absolute minimum kW output that you should consider installing. We would suggest adding approximately 50% to this figure to allow for an acceptable warm up time in cold conditions as well as making allowances for exceptional weather conditions and possible errors in the original data used in the estimate.
Once the target kW has been estimated it is generally as simple as selecting the minimum quantity of heater required to provide that output. Select from the following table.
| Model | kW | Volts | Airflow (m³/h) |
| OUH3-03 | 3 | 230V | 1100 |
| OUH3-06 | 6 | 230V | 1100 |
| OUH3-09 | 9 | 230V or 400V/3N | 1100 |
| OUH3-15 | 15 | 400V/3N | 3150 |
| OUH3-20 | 20 | 400V/3N | 3150 |
| OUH3-25 | 25 | 400V/3N | 3150 |
| OUH3-40 | 40 | 400V/3N | 5600 |
For perfect heat distribution the combined air volume flow rate of the selected heaters should also be considered. Ideally the total air volume processed by the heaters every hour should be at least four times the total air volume in the building. In some cases therefore, you may choose to select a larger number of lower output heaters in order to increase the total quantity of air processed every hour.
DSU3
When using OUH3 industrial fan heaters in a building with a roof height in excess of 4m, the installation of a DSU3 destratification unit is strongly recommended. This device will recycle warm air that has accumulated at high level thereby reducing heating bills by up to 30%. It should also be noted that DSU3 destratification units provide very high air volume flow rates and often enable the ‘four times total air volume’ target to be achieved without needing to consider additional heaters.
