Theory Of Operation; To Start Heater; To Stop Heater; To Restart Heater - Desa REM200T Owner's Manual

THEORY OF
OPERATION
The Fuel System: The air pump forces
air through the air line. The air is then
pushed through the burner head nozzle. This
air causes fuel to lift from the tank. A fine
mist of fuel is sprayed into the combustion
chamber.
The Air System: The motor turns the fan.
The fan pushes air into and around the
combustion chamber. This air is heated and
provides a stream of clean, hot air.
The Ignition System: The electronic
ignitor sends voltage to the spark plug. The
spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
The Flame-out Control System: This
system causes the heater to shut down if the
flame goes out.
