The TPI Corporation T5100 built-in thermostat provides temperature control facility for 5100 series fan forced electric heater models that range from 3.3 to 20kW. The thermostat instals into the heater unit enclosure and operates with a single pole, single throw (SPST), low-voltage or line duty switch. Electric heaters generate warmth through a central heating element that is housed in a reflective enclosure that concentrates the energy produced. An element made of a combination of metals produces heat or infrared energy by the electrical resistance created when an electric current passes through it. Fan-forced heaters pass air over the heating element to expel heat from the enclosure for greater throw and circulation. Radiant heaters do not use a fan, but warm nearby objects through energy transfer. A heaters voltage and wiring should be matched to the electrical circuit where it is to be used. All local electrical codes should be followed when installing permanent mounted electric heating equipment. TPI Corporation manufactures industrial and commercial electrical heaters, process heat ovens, ventilation products and fans, lighting equipment, and thermostatic controls. The company, founded in 1950, is headquartered in Johnson City, TN.
