Section: General Information

Adequate Voltage Required

A low or erratic power supply could result in impaired burner operation, severe delayed ignition or an explosion inside the heat exchanger resulting in a burn and/or asphyxiation hazard.

yThe Model ADC requires a continuous supply of 11 to 16 volts DC at 15 amps measured at the burner during operation.

yAn automotive or small engine charging system that is capable of supplying the required continuous voltage/ amperage is recommended with certain road equipment, such as asphalt hot patchers and similar applications.

yThis is especially true while maintaining nominal load temperatures during idle periods.

Adequate Combustion

and Ventilation Air Supply

Required

Failure to provide adequate air supply could seriously affect the burner performance and result in damage to the equipment, asphyxiation, explosion or fire hazards.

yThe burner cannot properly burn the fuel if it is not supplied with a reliable combustion air source.

yFollow the guidelines in the latest editions of the NFPA 31 and CSA-B139 regarding providing adequate air for combustion and ventilation.

General Information

Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual when experiencing a possible fault condition.

A. Equipment Located in Confined Space

The confined space should have two permanent openings: one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom of the enclosure. Each opening shall have a free area of not less then one square inch per 1,000 BTU’s per hour of the total input rating of all equipment within the enclosure. The openings shall have free access to the building interior, which should have adequate infiltration from the outside.

B. Exhaust Fans and Other Air-Using Devices.

Size air openings large enough to allow for all air using devices in addition to the minimum area required for combustion air. If there is any possibility of the equipment room developing negative pressure (because of exhaust fans, for example), either pipe combustion directly to the burner or provide a sealed enclosure for the burner and provide it with its own combustion air supply.

C. Clearances to Burner and Equipment

Provide space around burner and equipment for easy service and maintenance. Check minimum clearances against those shown by the equipment manufacturer and by applicable codes.

D. Exhausting Hazardous Fumes

See warning on this page. Also be conscious of any fumes produced by the materials that are being heated. Always ensure adequate ventilation to exhaust all fumes.
