Volcano VR1 — water industrial heater AC, 5-30 kW

Volcano VR1 — water industrial heater with a 1-row exchanger and high airflow. Power 5-30 kW, airflow 5300 m³/h, weight 21 kg, AC motor 280 W. For spaces 200-400 m² with moderate heat loss.

Where Volcano VR1 fits

Mid-size warehouses 200-400 m², workshops with good insulation, service stations with 2-3 lifts, garage boxes, small hangars, small gym halls. Distinctive feature — high air volume, critical for spaces longer than 15 m.

What to know about this model

• 1-row heat exchanger — lower thermal density than 2- or 3-row, but lower air resistance. Suits spaces with mild winters or good insulation.
• 5300 m³/h airflow — highest in the "junior" VR group. Distributes heat 20 m horizontally.
• weight 21 kg — install with two people or one with a helper.
• 280 W AC motor — standard with three speeds.
• Polymer housing — lifetime warranty, no rust, no maintenance.

VR1 vs neighbour models

VR1 vs Mini 3: VR1 has much higher airflow (5300 vs 2000 m³/h) and is sized for larger areas. Mini 3 is more compact and quieter. Up to 200 m² — Mini 3, 200-400 m² — VR1.

VR1 vs VR2: VR2 has a 2-row exchanger — higher thermal power (up to 50 kW vs 30) but lower airflow (4850 vs 5300 m³/h). VR1 — when heat loss is moderate. VR2 — when you need a power margin.

Installation

Horizontal or vertical mount on the included bracket. Carrier supply 3/4". Power 230 V. Recommended carrier range 40-130 °C. Typical install 2-3 hours. Bracket and passport included. Flexible hoses and speed controller sold separately.

FAQ on Volcano VR1

Is VR1 enough for a 300 m² warehouse at -30 °C outside?
With standard insulation (sandwich panel, windows) and 80/60 °C carrier — yes, 30 kW covers it. If the warehouse is uninsulated or has open gates — look at VR2 for a margin.

Can two VR1 run in the same workshop?
Yes, that's recommended for spaces over 600 m² — more even heating, redundancy if one fails.
