DESCRIPTION
The 9-shower head Portable Bath Unit is a liquid-fuel fired water heating device
that supplies warm water to each of the shower nozzles.
The Bath Unit is
equipped with the necessary hoses (1, 2, and 3), water heater (4), water pump
assembly (5), mixing unit (.6), and shower stands (7) to supply all the warm water
needed for operation.
The water pump draws water through the suction strainer
(8) and the hose from the water source (2) and forces it through the discharge
hose (3) to the water heater.
The water heater raises the temperature of the
incoming water and maintains it at the desired temperature.
The heated water is
then forced through one discharge hose (1) to the mixing unit (6) where it iS
mixed with cold water to provide water at the desired temperature to shower
heads.
The electric power (1.2 kW at 5.7 amps) required to operate the Bath Unit should
be supplied by a self-contained portable 3 kW, 60–Hz, 208 V, 3-phase power
generator source.
All electrically operated components of the Bath Unit are
grounded through a fifth wire incorporated in the power cables (9 and 10).
