OPERATING SPACE AND AIR SUPPLY MINIMUM FRESH AIR OPENING REQUIREMENTS As a general rule of thumb, an opening of 1in per 1000 Btu/hr is a minimum requirement. These heaters are specified as requiring a minimum ventilation of 3 sq/ft per 100,000BTU/hr.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Understanding the basic operation of the heater will reinforce the need to maintain the unit in top condition at all times, whilst always observing the safety precautions. The heater comprises four basic systems: 1. The gas system. 2.
IGNITION SYSTEM Ignition is automatic with this heater as soon as the gas valve button is depressed, with a continuous spark from the spark plug igniting the gas. As the thermocouple heats up, a low voltage is fed to the Flame Failure Valve, causing the valve to open, so that after a few seconds, the Gas ValveButton may be released and the flame is established.
8. When the burner remains lit, set the heater at the required level by turning the flame intensity control valve counter-clockwise. If the burner goes out, turn off the gas. Turn the gas valve fully clockwise to its lowest position. Check the fuel supply.
Ensure that all connections are clean and secure. When necessary, clean the fan and the inside of the heater thoroughly. The use of parts other than genuine Clarke replacement parts may result in safety hazards or decreased performance, and will invalidate your warranty.
