Electric Wall Fin
Model EWFB — Electric Wall Fin
FIN-PRC003-ENOctober 2001
Features
Trane electric natural convection heavy
duty wall fin has been designed to be
securely attached to the wall or as an
option floor mounted on pedestals.
Trane wall fin is ideally suited as a
primary heating source, a supplement in
high heat loss areas or as a draft barrier
to help minimize cold wall and window
conditions. Because of its rugged
construction, wall fin is especially
recommended for public areas in
commercial and institutional
applications such as offices, schools,
hospitals, transportation terminals,
churches, dormitories and nursing
homes.
The range of sizes and heat outputs can
be individually combined to form a truly
custom comfort system. The wide
variety of colors, materials and
accessories become architecturally
compatible with any interior concept and
design.

Heating Elements: Element(s) consist of
high quality nickel chromium alloy
resistance wire embedded and
completely surrounded by magnesium
oxide, enclosed and swaged in an
aluminum sheath. Aluminum fins are
mechanically bonded to the sheath for
efficient heat transfer. The element
fin temperature will not exceed
330°F (166°C) to help assure long
element life. The heating element is
center anchored and free floating at each
end on nylon bushings for quiet
operation.
Thermal Overload: A full length tubular
automatic reset thermal overload
disconnects the heating element(s) in the
event normal operating temperatures
are exceeded.
Volts/Phase: All models available in the
following volts and phase 208/1, 240/1,
277/1 or 120/1.
