SBD TANK TYPE HEATERS
SERVICE HANDBOOK
INSUFFICIENT MAKE-UP AIR
BACKDRAFT
Insufficient make-up air is a major cause of combustion problems. One common example is in a restaurant installation where exhaust vent equipment was not considered in sizing make-up air requirements. This may result in air being backdrafted by the restaurant exhaust equipment through the heater causing flue gas spillage, flame roll out, improper combustion, inconsistent pilot operation, and/or erratic heater shut down.
