Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 175K BTU/Direct Spark Ignition/NG/Separated Combustion/Single Stage w/Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
Features
- Specifically designed for environments with hostile atmospheric conditions, such as chemicals, high humidity or negative pressure
- Combustion air is brought in from outside the heated area - either from outdoor air or from an adjacent room - eliminating the need to use contaminated indoor air for combustion
- In-shot burners fire each heat exchanger tube for reliable performance, ease of service and decreased noise on ignition
- Same-size vent and combustion air inlets throughout product line makes installation easier
- Longer allowable vent lengths (up to 50′ vs 30′) versus previous line, providing greater installation options
- Round vent pipe and combustion air inlet pipe connection
- Automatic reset vent pressure switch is designed to prevent operation of the main burner in the event there is restricted venting of the flue
- Integrated direct spark control board provides digital control of the air mover, inducer, ignition, gas valve and flame sense
- Control Step Down Transformer used to step down from 115v to 24v for the gas controls, fan delay relay, field supplied motor start and more
- Remote flame sensor verifies ignition of all burners, monitors the flame single and communicates with the integrated circuit board
- High limit control switch is mounted in the air stream and will shut off the gas supply in the event of overheating
- 4" vent & combustion air connection
- Natural Gas
- 150,000 BTU
- Direct spark ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
- Aluminized steel heat exchanger

Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check all gas lines and connections for leaks or damage. Tighten or replace fittings as necessary to ensure a safe operation.
-
Clean the Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger – Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in the heat exchanger, reducing efficiency. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance.
-
Examine Burner & Ignition System – Ensure the direct spark ignition system is working properly. If the heater fails to ignite or the flame is weak, clean or replace the components.
-
Ventilation & Intake Maintenance – Check the separated combustion system’s intake and vent to ensure no blockages. Adequate airflow is essential for efficient combustion.
-
Verify Safety Controls – Test the high-temperature limit switch and pressure switch to ensure the safety mechanisms are functioning correctly.
-
Thermostat Calibration – Make sure the thermostat is accurately reading and regulating the temperature. If it’s off, recalibrate or replace as needed.
-
Replace Filters – If the unit has filters, replace or clean them regularly to keep airflow optimal and reduce strain on the system.
-
Annual Professional Service – Schedule yearly maintenance by a qualified technician to ensure the heater is running efficiently and safely.
