Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 300K BTU/Intermittent Pilot Ignition/LP/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
- LLiquid Propane
- 300,000 BTU
- Intermittent Pilot Ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
- Aluminized steel heat exchanger & burner

A: With a 300,000 BTU output, it is suitable for large commercial spaces like warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing floors, typically covering areas up to 4,500 sq. ft.
Q: Is the Modine 300K BTU heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the intermittent pilot ignition and efficient design contribute to reduced gas consumption, making this heater a cost-effective solution for large spaces.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Burners & Heat Exchanger – Regularly clean burners and the aluminized steel heat exchanger to maintain efficient heat transfer and prevent buildup.
-
Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check for any leaks, wear, or damage to gas lines and connections to ensure safe operation.
-
Clear Air Intake & Exhaust Vents – Ensure air intake and exhaust vents are free of debris or blockages to promote optimal airflow and prevent overheating.
-
Test Intermittent Pilot Ignition – Regularly test the pilot ignition system to ensure proper lighting and operation during startup.
-
Check Burner Flame – Observe the burner flame to ensure it is steady, blue, and clean, which indicates proper combustion.
-
Calibrate Thermostat – Regularly verify that the thermostat is accurately regulating the temperature for comfort and energy efficiency.
-
Replace or Clean Filters – Keep air filters clean or replace them as needed to prevent airflow restrictions and ensure the heater operates efficiently.
-
Annual Professional Inspection – Schedule a professional inspection each year to ensure the unit operates safely and all components are functioning optimally.
