Information about the device

Description of the device

The electrical fan heater TDS 30 serves to generate and distribute
warm air, e.g. in interior spaces.
The device generates heat by means of a heating element. The air
surrounding the heating element is heated. The heated air is
blown into the room by a fan.
The device comes with an integrated thermostat and so
generates a constant flow of warm air.
Fan operation without heating function is also possible.
