THE FUEL SYSTEM
The motor turns the fuel pump. The fuel pump pulls fuel
from the fuel tank. The fuel pump pushes fuel through a
filter and a solenoid valve and out the burner head nozzle.
A fine mist of fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber.
THE AIR SYSTEM
The motor turns the fan while at the same time operating
the pump. The fan creates air pressure, closing the air
pressure switch, which delivers power to the solenoid for
supply of fuel to the burner nozzle.
FIG. 4 Handling instructions
Heavier fuels such as #1, #2 Diesel, JP-8, opr Jet A may be
used. Using heavier fuels other than kersoene may result in
in:
■
Clogged fuel filter and nozzle
■
Carbon build-up on spark plug
■
Dark smoke from stack
■
The need of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very
cold weather.
Operation Instructions
BASICS OF OPERATION
Additionally, the fan is also responsible for pushing the air
into and around the combustion chamber. This air is
heated and provides a stream of clean, dry, 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. It also allows the fan to continue running after
normal shutdown of heater. This cools the combustion
chamber.
Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage container. Be sure storage
container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or
water will cause flame-out control to shut down heater.
Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system
often.
