1.1 DESCRIPTION an integral indirect The gas heater found in the RenewAIre DN unit is an indirect gas fired heat module, classified gas-fired heat mod- as either Category I or Category III. Flue gas venting is either horizontal (through the wall) ule that will be referred or vertical (through the roof).

Modulation of the gas supply typically involves a different gas valve or valves, some programming differences to the onboard controller and a different gas manifold. All heat modules are modulated. RenewAire gas heat modules are available with the following turndown options: 5:1 Modulation (available for gas heat modules 50–350 MBH)
Page 9
OVERVIEW Integral Indirect Gas-Fired Heat Module OPTION 1.8 SIGNAL CONDITIONERS Signal conditioners are used in all heat modules to control the outputs of the gas valves. In general, they modulate a modulating gas valve by providing either a 0–10 VDC or a 2–10 VDC signal to the valve.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OPTION Integral Indirect Gas-Fired Heat Module 2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2.1 VENTING 2.1.1 Equivalent Length Vent pipe lengths are given as “equivalent lengths.” When vent pipes are installed, they often require that an elbow(s) be installed as part of the vent pipe. Elbows restrict free flow of gases through the vent pipe.
