Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 400K BTU/Direct Spark Ignition/NG/Separated Combustion/Single Stage w/Aluminized 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
- 6" vent & combustion air connection
- Natural Gas
- 400,000 BTU
- Direct spark ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
- Aluminized steel heat exchanger

Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Inspection: Check for gas leaks and inspect all connections to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly.
-
Clean the Heat Exchanger: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the aluminized steel heat exchanger. Clean regularly to ensure maximum efficiency.
-
Examine the Ignition System: Ensure the direct spark ignition is working properly. If the heater fails to start, the ignition system or burner might require maintenance.
-
Clear the Combustion Air Pathway: Keep the separated combustion air intake and exhaust vents clear from obstructions to maintain safe and efficient operation.
-
Safety Check: Verify that all safety components, such as the high-temperature limit switch and pressure switch, are functioning correctly.
-
Filter Replacement (if applicable): If the unit has filters, replace them to maintain airflow and prevent strain on the system.
-
Professional Servicing: Schedule an annual professional service to ensure that the heater is running efficiently and safely.
