I. GENERAL INFORMATION

Receiving Equipment

Inspect for damage upon receipt of equipment.

The manufacturer thoroughly inspects and tests all units before shipping. When a freight carrier signs for a shipment, they are acknowledging receipt of the shipment and the number of pieces contained in the shipment as compared to the freight bill. When you receive the shipment, carefully read the freight bill and verify that all pieces are received. Note at this time any damaged or missing items on the freight bill before signing. You should get the driver’s signature to confirm any damaged or missing pieces (a photograph is a sure way to document this).

Most heaters have options that need to be field installed. Be sure all these are accounted for before the delivering carrier leaves. Check all items received with the packing list enclosed with the unit.

Inspection for any internal damage should also be made. Any missing parts or damage discovered at a later date may prevent you from having a valid claim with the carrier. If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, proper storage will prevent damage.

Direct Fired Heating

This Direct Fired Heater is a make up air unit. It is only to be used for installations requiring frequent air changes. Some examples are commercial kitchens, factories, foundries, and paint booths.

This unit is NOT designed for space heating. All units can be used with either natural gas or LP gas. Read this manual before beginning

installation. Direct fired heaters are designed to operate in a fresh flowing air stream. If the airflow stops or is different from the factory settings, the unit will shut down or perform below its design capability. It is important to follow the installation and start-up procedures to maximize the heater’s performance. The manufacturer has designed a unit that is easy to install, start up and service. If you have any questions, call the Service

Department at 1-800-334-9256.

IV. THEORY

II. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW toward less user interaction with the heater units.

Most customers prefer the unit to sit on the roof, turn on, and run by itself with no user interaction

(temperature selection, summer-winter selection, etc.). This means that the field installation has to be done properly; no user interaction can cover up installation problems. Now, more than ever, installation and start up is critical to customer satisfaction and product operation.

There are many types of heaters available for commercial use. We will concern ourselves with

100% fresh air (make up air) Direct Fired Gas units for commercial kitchen and industrial use. The advantages of direct fired gas heaters include:

Energy (heat) must be added to a specific volume of air in order to change its temperature. Direct fired gas heaters create heat by burning gas. Heat is measured in BTU’s (British Thermal Units), which is a measure of heat, not temperature.

Readily available

Most efficient heat transfer

There are two general types of gas-fired heaters, direct and indirect. Indirect fired heaters, like a residential furnace, burn gas inside a metal tube called a heat exchanger. The air that is used to heat the application is heated indirectly when it is passed around the tubes. This air never comes in contact with the flame. The combustion products from the flame inside the tubes are exhausted through a flue pipe to the atmosphere. A direct

fired heater burns the gas directly in the air stream.

The products of combustion are included in the air that is used to heat the application.

III. APPLICATIONS

Temperature vs. Heat

The temperature changes when the energy of a specific volume of air increases or decreases. Energy

(in the form of heat) is added to a volume of air and changes the temperature. When this energy is added to different volumes of air, different temperatures are achieved. To further illustrate this point, let’s look at how to calculate temperature rise, i.e., the difference between the air temperature after it is heated and before it is heated.

∆

BTU’s

T = --------------

CFM X 1.08

This equation shows that if the CFM’s increase and the BTU’s remain constant, the temperature rise will

decrease. Conversely, if the CFM’s decrease and the BTU’s remain constant, the temperature rise will

increase. (See following examples).

These direct fired heaters are well suited for a wide range of uses in the commercial and industrial field. For kitchen ventilation, where heated make up air is needed in large volume in cool climates, the direct fired unit is a prime choice.

It is able to handle large volumes of air with substantial temperature rise at minimal expense.

The units are reliable, and most replacement parts are readily available in the field.

Industrial plants and processes where there is a large amount of air being exhausted are excellent candidates for direct fired units. Where welding hoods and plasma tables are used, the direct fired unit can provide fresh outside air at a comfortable temperature for occupants. Today the trend is

3

Example 1

A heater rated at 200,000 BTU’s is currently supplying 3000 CFM of air with a 62 ° F temperature rise. The heater needs adjustment to supply 4500 CFM of air. What is the temperature rise for this heater (assuming 200,000 maximum available BTU’s)?

Using the equation to determine the temperature rise:

∆ T = 200,000/(4500 x 1.08)

∆ T = 41 °

Static Pressure vs. HP

Construction of the ductwork connected to a heater unit is another element in understanding heater operation. Some of the essential elements in understanding ductwork are static pressure, blower curves and motor amperage. Static pressure is the pressure created in the duct by the flow of air. As air is forced through a section of duct, it exerts forces on the walls of the ductwork containing it. The measurement of this force is static pressure and is commonly measured in inches water column using a device called a manometer. As a rule, air travels easily in a straight line and does not like to turn. When we force air in a duct to turn or transition, the air exerts even more force on the walls of the duct and we create more static pressure. As the static pressure increases, the blower moves less air due to the resistance in pushing (or pulling) the air through the duct. This decreases the amount of current that the motor is using to turn the blower wheel (lowers the motor amperage). This relation can be seen on a blower curve, which plots CFM’s vs. static pressure as a function of blower RPM and motor horsepower.

Looking at the blower curve, pick a given CFM and static pressure to determine the blower RPMs and motor horsepower. Example 2 illustrates the use of the blower curve.

Example 2

A unit with a 15” wheel is set to run at 4000 CFM with

0.125” of static pressure. What was the factory RPM setting and motor HP? During the installation, however, turns were added to the ductwork to avoid interference with some of the building structure, bringing the static pressure up to 0.25”. What do the new RPM’s need to be, and do we need a different motor?

4

First we can determine what size motor and what blower RPM has been set by the factory based on the initial static pressure numbers. By looking on the 15” Blower Curve, we pick the intersection of

0.125” (from the left axis) and 4000 CFM (from the bottom axis). This point is just below the 700 RPM line indicating a blower speed of approximately

690 RPM. This point is also to the left of the 1.5

horsepower line, indicating a 1.5 horsepower motor was probably supplied. Next, we can determine the new blower RPM and what motor will be needed. By looking at the 15” Blower Curve again, pick the intersection of the 0.25” static pressure at 4000 CFM’s. This point is halfway between the 700 and 800 RPM curves, indicating that approximately 750 RPM’s will be required from the blower. The correct motor for this situation would NOT be the 1.5 horsepower, because the point is to the right of the 1.5

horsepower curve. The correct choice would be a

2 horsepower (it is to the left of the 2 horsepower line).

This is important because the incoming gas pressure is often measured when the heater is not running.

Even though the line may appear to have the appropriate pressure, the pressure will drop when the heater is operating. If the gas supply system is sized properly, the upstream regulator will compensate for the drop, and increase the pressure to the heater.

Another important part of heater performance relates to the heating value of the fuel. Natural gas has

Methane as its main constituent, while LP consists of

Propane. The same heater is capable of burning both of these fuels, however, the volume required for LP is roughly half the volume required for natural gas for the same BTU’s. This is because natural gas (-380,000

BTU/lbmol) has a heating value that is approximately half the heating value of Propane (-955,000

BTU/lbmol).

V. OPERATION PRINCIPLES

Gas Flow

Another critical element in understanding heater operation is gas flow. Gas pressure changes based on flow rates. A simple example of this is shown in example 3, where a portion of the plumbing is smaller in the middle. This could represent a device in the line such as a gas valve.

Note in the first illustration, with no gas flow, there is equal pressure in both sections of the pipe (P1 and P2). In the second illustration, where the gas is flowing, the second section of pipe has much less pressure than the first (P2 is less than P1).

The direct-fired heater is most easily understood when broken down into smaller individual systems.

There are two main systems, a make-up air fan and a heater. The make-up air fan consists of a heavy-duty blower and motor. The heater may be further broken down into two control systems, the Flame Safety

Control (FSC) and the Modulating Gas System

(MGS). The burner mixes air with the gas (Natural or

Propane) which heats the air.

Example 3

Illustration 1: No gas flow. P1 = P2

Illustration 2: Gas flow from left to right. P1 > P2

Fireye Flame Safety Control

The first system to understand is the Flame

Safety Control. The FSC is there only to monitor the flame NOT to control temperature. The FSC uses an ultraviolet (UV) sensor mounted on top of the burner assembly to view the flame in the burner. The FSC is also wired into an airflow switch, which tells it whether there is proper airflow through the unit (not just any airflow, but proper airflow). The FSC controls the opening of the redundant solenoid gas valves and the operation of the spark ignitor to initiate a pilot flame upon start-up. When there is a call for heat, the OPR

CTRL light will turn on indicating that the unit has power. Next, the airflow light will come on if there is proper airflow through the unit. Third, the unit will pause ten (10) seconds to purge any gasses or combustible vapors before attempting flame ignition. Then, there is a Pilot Trial for Ignition

(PTFI) and the PTFI light comes on. During PTFI, the FSC opens the redundant gas valves and allows gas to bypass to the modulating valve (part of the Maxitrol system). The Maxitrol valve is not yet energized, so there is a minimal amount of gas passing through it (called “low fire”). At the same moment, the spark igniter is started, causing the spark plug in the burner to ignite the gas. This results in a low fire or pilot flame. When the UV sensor detects the flame it turns on the flame light, turns off the PTFI light, and powers the modulating gas system. This is the normal operating mode.

The FSC continues to monitor the flame and airflow.

The airflow switch is a single pole double throw

(one common contact, one normally open contact, and one normally closed contact) switch that is

“switched” by air pressure. There are two opposing airflow tubes in the heater, located near the burner and profile plate assembly (profile plates surround the burner and channel air into the burner section). With the differential pressure created in the airflow switch by suction on one tube and velocity pressure on the other, the switch will change state, indicating airflow. In the case of clogged filters or a blocked intake, a differential pressure is not achieved, not allowing the airflow switch to close. With high static pressure or lack of blower movement, no suction is placed on the rearward-facing port and a differential pressure is again not achieved. The airflow switch may need to be adjusted for different pressures that occur at different CFM’s.

The other system, the Maxitrol modulating gas

system, consists of a temperature selector dial, a discharge air sensor, an amplifier, and a modulating gas valve. The two types of Maxitrol systems found on these units are the Maxitrol 14 and the Maxitrol 44.

The Maxitrol 14 utilizes a discharge air sensor and modulates the discharge air to the selected temperature on the temperature selector dial. The

Maxitrol 44 utilizes a room temperature sensor as well as a discharge air sensor in order to control the room temperature. The modulating gas valve controls the amount of gas to the burner based on the temperature rise needed. When the modulating gas valve is all the way open and achieving the maximum BTU’s and temperature rise of the unit, it is called “high fire”.

Maxitrol 14 Amplifier

One back up safety device is the high temperature

limit switch. This switch is a mechanical thermostat that measures the temperature inside the unit directly above the burner. If the factory set temperature is exceeded, it will shut down the power to the FSC. This requires a manual reset. The pre-set temperature that the factory uses is based on the temperature above the burner when the outlet temperature is 185 ° F. The settings are as follows:

ALL HEATERS BY THIS

MANUFACTURER HAVE

REDUNDANT GAS VALVES.

Heaters set for less than 700,000 BTU’s use a combination gas valve. The combination gas valve has redundant solenoids and a regulator built into one body. Larger heaters use a regulator and two separate solenoid valves. The redundant gas valves shut gas flow off to the burner in case of a malfunction, no call for heat, or power outage. They are normally closed, and are energized by the Fireye

FSC. The regulator controls the gas pressure going into the gas train from the supply line. The “high fire” setting for the heater unit (maximum temperature rise) is adjusted by the regulator before the two redundant solenoid valves or on the combination gas valve (whichever the case may be).

The following is a summary of a normal start for a direct fired gas heater:

• With the blower already running

ü The summer-winter switch is set to winter

OR

ü The outside air temperature falls below the setting of the outside air override

• The FSC is energized and the following occurs:

ü Indicates that it has power by turning on the “Opr Ctrl” light

ü Verifies airflow and turns on the “Airflow” light

ü Pauses 10 seconds to purge the air in the heater

ü Begins Pilot Trial for Ignition and turns on the “PTFI” light

ü The redundant gas solenoid valves are opened, the Honeywell spark igniter begins sparking and the UV sensor watches for flame initiation

ü When flame is established, the “PTFI” light turns off and the “Flame” light turns on

ü The Maxitrol system is powered and the unit begins heating

ü The FSC monitors the flame while the Maxitrol system adjusts to the selected temperature

• The Maxitrol system checks the discharge air temperature (and the room temperature for the Maxitrol 44) and regulates the gas going to the burner to satisfy the temperature setting.

• The last light on the Fireye is the “Alarm” light. This will turn on when the Fireye determines an unsafe condition, and won’t allow the unit to recycle for heat until it has been properly reset. Anytime the Fireye flame safety has gone into “Alarm” mode, the problem must be diagnosed and corrected to avoid future lockouts after resetting. To begin troubleshooting, or to reset the Fireye, the following procedure must be used (just pushing the reset button does NOT reset the unit)

• With the power to the unit

ü Push the reset button on the Fireye

ü Turn power off (the 5 Amp circuit breaker is convenient for this)

ü Turn power back on and allow the heater to start up

The label for this unit specifies the tested CFM and static pressure. For the gas and electrical components to function properly it is important that the unit produce the designed airflow. The ductwork attached to this unit will significantly affect the airflow performance. DO NOT use flexible ductwork, square turns, and plenum boxes.

These will increase the static pressure and reduce airflow. Carefully raise the unit to its installation point. The unit should be installed on a curb and/or rail elevated not less than 14” above any surface.

Make sure the unit is mounted level, and all attachments are properly sealed with silicone caulking. If there is a motorized damper make sure any wires are routed for the job site electrician.

NOTICE!

Refer to the heater rating plate for determining the minimum gas supply pressure for obtaining the maximum gas capacity for which this heater is specified.

CAUTION!

This heater requires at least 4 CFM outside air per 1,000 BTU per hour. For details and recirculation application limitations, see manufacturers instructions.

Plumbing Installation

This unit is designed for a constant 7” W.C. Natural gas supply, (LP should be 11”) when the unit is in high fire. If the gas supply exceeds 14” W.C. it will damage the internal components and if it is below 7” W.C. it may not perform to specifications. Insure that all connections are well sealed, and the factory supplied external ball valve is installed to shut down the gas supply. The incoming pipe should be sized to match the connections on the outside of the unit. Avoid multiple taps in the gas supply so the unit has a steady supply of gas at all times.
