Desa REM200T Theory Of Operation, Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements, To Start Heater

OWNER’S MANUAL

THEORY OF

OPERATION

The Fuel System: The air pump forces air through the air line. The air is then pushed through the burner head nozzle. This air causes fuel to lift from the tank. A fine mist of fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber.

volt/60 hertz, three-hole, grounded out-

The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.

The Ignition System: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to the spark plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.

The Flame-out Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down if the flame goes out.
