Theory Of Operation; To Start Heater - Mi-T-M Corporation MH-0375-LM10 Manual Del Usuario

THEORY OF OPERATION

Fuel System. The hose/regulator assembly runs from the propane supply to the heater itself. After the
gas runs through the hose and regulator, it passes through the solenoid valve and out the nozzle into the
combustion chamber.
Air System. The internal motor turns the fan, which pushes air around and through the combustion
chamber. Here the air is heated and provides a constant stream of warmth.
Ignition system. The spark module sends voltage to the ignitor. The ignitor ignites the fuel and air mix-
ture.
Safety Control System. This system shuts the heater down if the flame is extinguished. The fan and
motor will continue to operate, but there will not be any heat.
Propane Supply. All propane gas tanks are to be provided by the user.
This heater should only be used with a tank that has a vapor withdrawal system. Refer to the Standard of
Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58, Chapter 5. Your local fire department
or library will have this information.
Two factors will dictate how much propane is used from each tank:
1. The amount of gas in each tank.
2. The surrounding air temperature at each tank.
The chart below shows how many tanks should be used at a given temperature. This heater should not
be operated with a tank smaller than 100 pounds.
As the temperature drops, less gas is vaporized, so large tank may be necessary in very cold weather.
Never operate this heater with a tank smaller than 100 pounds. Your local propane dealer can help you
select the proper tank size and configuration.
