Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements

Up to 30.5 meters (100 feet) long, use 1.0 mm2 (16 AWG) conductor

30.6to 61 meters (101 to 200 feet) long, use 1.5 mm2 (14 AWG) conductor

Push ON/OFF switch to ON and heater should start. If heater does not start, press flame-out control reset button (see Figure 4).

TO STOP HEATER

1.Push ON/OFF switch to OFF.

TO RESTART HEATER

1.Wait two minutes after stopping heater.

2.Repeat steps under To Start Heater, page 4.

STORING,

TRANSPORTING, OR SHIPPING

Note: If shipping, transport companies re- quire fuel tanks to be empty.

1.Drain fuel tank.

Note: Some models have drain plug on underside of fuel tank. If so, remove drain plug to drain all fuel. If heater does not have drain plug, drain fuel through fuel cap opening. Be sure all fuel is removed.

2.Replace drain plug if provided.

3.If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir, and drain again. This will prevent excess debris from clogging filters dur- ing future use.

4.Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Prop- erly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local automotive service stations that recycle oil.

5.If storing, store heater in dry place. Make sure storage place is free of dust and corrosive fumes.

IMPORTANT: Do not store kerosene over summer months for use during next heating season. Using old fuel could damage heater.

10BY150ECB specifications

Desa 10BY150ECB is a notable addition to the lineup of modern compact biogas plants designed to efficiently convert organic waste into renewable energy. This system is particularly tailored for small to medium-scale operations, making it ideal for agricultural farms, food processing industries, and community waste management. The key features of the Desa 10BY150ECB focus on its efficiency, user-friendly design, and technological advancements.

One of the standout features of the Desa 10BY150ECB is its robust anaerobic digestion process. It utilizes advanced microbial technology to break down organic materials in an oxygen-free environment. This process not only minimizes greenhouse gas emissions but also maximizes biogas production, generating a substantial yield of methane, which can be harnessed for electricity generation, heating, or even as a vehicle fuel.

The design of the 10BY150ECB emphasizes compactness and ease of installation. Its modular setup allows for quick deployment and scalability, meaning that operators can expand their systems based on growing waste inputs and energy needs. The plant operates efficiently even with variable feedstock types, which is a common challenge in biogas production. With an input capacity of 150 cubic meters per day, it can handle varying types of organic waste including agricultural residues, food scraps, and municipal solid waste.

Technologically, the Desa 10BY150ECB is equipped with state-of-the-art control systems that ensure optimal operating conditions. This includes real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, pH, and methane concentration. The system's automation capabilities reduce the need for manual intervention, thereby minimizing operational costs and improving reliability.

Additionally, safety features such as pressure relief valves and gas monitoring sensors are integrated into the system to prevent leaks and ensure safe operation. The compact design also includes built-in storage for digestate, the nutrient-rich byproduct of the digestion process, which can be used as a natural fertilizer, enhancing sustainability efforts.

In terms of overall characteristics, the Desa 10BY150ECB not only addresses energy generation but also promotes waste reduction and circular economy principles. It contributes positively to local environmental initiatives by reducing landfill dependency and fostering energy independence for communities and businesses alike. Overall, the Desa 10BY150ECB stands out as an innovative solution for sustainable energy production, combining efficiency, technology, and practicality in biogas management.
