Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 250K BTU/Intermittent Pilot Ignition/NG/Single Stage w/Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger & Burner
Features
- Made in the USA
- 83% thermal efficiency, maximizing seasonal efficiency through the use of a collector box and the power exhauster
- A power exhaust can rotate 180° allowing the unit to be vented vertically or horizontally
- A 100% shut-off if the unit does not light, to ensure that unburned gases do not build up in the unit
- An intermittent pilot-ignition system with continuous retry to keep the unit from locking and needing to be reset if the unit does not light on the first try
- All PDP/BDP units can be field-converted from natural gas to propane if desired
- A safety pressure-switch monitors the vent pipe to assure flue gases leave the building and do not back up in the space
- Designed to utilize the smallest-diameter vent pipe possible
- “Wing” screws so that the bottom pan can be dropped without a screwdriver or nut driver
- A level hanging mechanism for easy field adjustments after adding accessories that may change the unit’s center of gravity
- Draws combustion air from inside the workspace
- 6" vent connection
- Liquid Propane
- 250,000 BTU
- Intermittent Pilot Ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
- Aluminized steel heat exchanger & burner

Q&A
Q: How does intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) work and what are its benefits?
A: IPI ignites the pilot only when needed, which reduces gas consumption and lowers operational costs. It ensures efficient heating without constant fuel usage.
Q: What are the advantages of the aluminized steel heat exchanger and burner?
A: The aluminized steel heat exchanger provides excellent corrosion resistance and heat transfer efficiency, while the burner ensures consistent and reliable performance for effective space heating.
Q: What types of spaces is this heater ideal for?
A: The Modine 250K BTU heater is perfect for large commercial spaces such as factories, warehouses, and workshops, efficiently heating areas up to 4,000 sq. ft.
Q: Is this heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the intermittent pilot ignition and efficient design help reduce fuel consumption, providing an energy-efficient solution for large commercial heating needs.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Burners & Heat Exchanger – Regularly clean the burners and aluminized steel heat exchanger to ensure proper heat transfer and efficiency.
-
Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check gas lines and connections for leaks or damage to ensure safe and efficient operation.
-
Clear Air Intake & Exhaust Vents – Keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear of obstructions to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating.
-
Check Intermittent Pilot Ignition – Test the intermittent pilot ignition system regularly to ensure reliable ignition and safe operation.
-
Monitor Burner Flame – Ensure the burner flame is steady, blue, and clean, as this indicates proper combustion and efficiency.
-
Verify Thermostat Accuracy – Calibrate the thermostat to ensure it maintains the correct temperature for energy savings and comfort.
-
Maintain Air Filters – Clean or replace air filters regularly to prevent dust buildup and maintain proper airflow.
-
Schedule Annual Inspection – Have a professional technician inspect the heater annually to check for any wear and ensure the system is functioning optimally.
