MAINTENANCE
To adjust the pressure regulator on the gas valve, turn down
(clockwise) to increase pressure and input, and out (coun-
terclockwise) to decrease pressure and input.
Since normally propane gas is not installed with a gas meter,
clocking will be virtually impossible. The gas orifices used
with propane are calculated for 2500 BTU per cubic foot gas
and with proper inlet pressures and correct piping size, full
capacity will be obtained.
With propane gas, no unit gas valve regulator is used; how-
ever, the second stage supply line pressure regulator should
be adjusted to give 11" water column with all other gas con-
suming appliances running.
The dissipation of the heat transferred to the heat exchanger
is now controlled by the amount of air circulated over its
surface.
68
The amount (CFM) of air circulated is governed by the
external static pressure in inches of water column of duct
work, cooling coil, registers, etc., applied externally to the
unit versus the motor speed tap (direct drive) or pulley ad-
justments of the motor and blower (belt drive).
A properly operating unit must have the BTU per hour input
and CFM of air, within the limits shown to prevent short cy-
cling of the equipment. As the external static pressure goes
up, the temperature rise will also increase. Consult the proper
tables for temperature rise limitation.
