Water Heater As A Source

The Quiet-One 2000 kickspace heaters and the Profile Series fan convectors are compatible with potable water systems. Their unique coil design, with lead-free solder joints, can be used with any water heater design whether it provides hot water for the home or is used as a source for heat only. This type of system provides a low cost Read More …

Materials Of Construction

The metal work on all Smith’s fan convector products including the KS 2000 series, KSWK and KSWK2010, FL100 and the entire PSU range is of 20 gauge steel (.036036”) per the UL requirement for such heating units. The steel is electro plated zinc coated and readily accepts the powered epoxy resin prime coat which applied only to finished Read More …

Electrical Equations

Various kickspace manufacturers display their electrical power data in different forms. In order to convert between those forms, it is necessary to understand a few electrical basics. There are many forms of electrical power whether it is horsepower (mechanical power), heat (thermal power) or some combination of the two such as candlepower (e.g. a lightbulb which produces Read More …

Kickspace Coils

Quiet-One 2000 kickspace coils for all of their kickspace fan convectors are header type coils as opposed to serpentine coils. Quiet-One 2000 headered coils, or dual circuited coils as they are sometimes called, are manufactured to provide two parallel pathways (circuits) oriented perpendicular to the air stream. This allows equal flow and equal temperature through each circuit from Read More …

Decibel Levels

For some time now, Smith’s has emphasized the fact that our fan and motor assemblies are capable of delivering the BTU/hr rated capacities at the lowest decibel levels as compared to any like product. This is why we named our kickspace heaters the “Quiet-One”. In order to provide you with more exacting data, we have tested the Read More …
