  • Page 27: Introduction

    Introduction Components Central Mobile Enclosure (CME)  A compact and portable design.  Easy access from rear and side doors.  Automatic temperature control and fuel usage which responds to work site demands.  Low pressure atmospherically vented circulation system ... no special boiler certification is required to operate the system.
  • Page 28: Passive Heat Transfer

    Passive heat transfer Circulation line heat exchangers The circulation line heat exchangers are the perfect solution for:  Heating and/or thawing cold or frozen ground.  Frost prevention.  Concrete curing and heating in subzero environments. This system can be applied to all types of concrete applications. Circulation line heat exchangers can be secured directly against the surface of the concrete or concrete forms.
  • Page 29: How The System Works

    Portable heat exchanger Portable heat exchangers are the ideal way to heat and/or dry enclosed structures. Their compact and mobile design allows them to be positioned where required on the job site. The efficient fan/coil design provides a high rate of heat transfer. High volume fans then deliver this heat evenly throughout a large area.
  • Page 30: Setup (Cme)

    Setup (CME) The positioning of all the system components on the site will be influenced by a number of factors. Please read all of the "Setup" section before beginning. Be sure to observe all local electrical codes and fire regulations when positioning the central heat module.
  • Page 31: Electrical Requirements & Connections

    Electrical requirements & connection When determining the "central mobile enclosure" location on site, consider setting up in close proximity to the electrical power supply. Note: This applies mainly to systems not equipped with a dedicated generator.  The GTS 300's main feed wiring must be adequately sized to carry the minimum ampacity shown on the water heater cabinet's rating label.
  • Page 32: Fuel

    Fuel  Only clean #1 or #2 diesel fuel or light heating oil is suitable for use in the system.  The "central heat module" comes equipped with its own tank, so there are no fuel line hookups required.  The fuel system utilizes a two-pipe system to ensure efficient fuel supply to the burner.

  • Page 44 Although the torque limiter clutch is factory set at Dryair, periodic adjustment may be required. It is recommended the torque setting of the clutch be checked twice per season (see" Maintenance" section). With prolonged use, the two friction disks, located on either side of the A-plate sprocket, will eventually show wear.
  • Page 45 Torque adjust procedure  Insure that the adjusting nut is in a finger tight position.  If the adjustment nut is tighter than finger tight, loosen and complete previous step.  Using a torque wrench tighten the adjusting nut to 90ft*lb. 39 - Torque limiter adjuster After the break-away torque is set, bend the tabs of the lock washer over the hex flats of the adjusting nut.
  • Page 46: Troubleshooting (Cme)

    Troubleshooting (CME)  There are 6 green lights on the control panel, which indicate the status of a sequence of functions while the unit is running.  Aquastat and burner light go off and on as the burner cycles.  When the burner is on, all green lights should be on.
