RRSH 3HP 19.5kW

The RRSH 3HP (19.5kW) heater applies the technology of a hot/cold high-velocity blower, driven by a 3-horsepower continuous duty motor to force air into the heating chamber. The heated air is ducted to the nozzles which directs the hot air at the switch points and switch rods. These low-profile heaters are ideal in yards and smaller turnouts.

RRSH 5HP 45kW

The RRSH 5HP (45kW) heater combines a hot/cold high-velocity blower, driven by 5-horsepower continuous duty motor to force cold air or hot air. These commanding units are best for mainline and larger turnouts.
