Design Description
The product is a direct-acting blast gas heater that fully utilizes the heat of the burnt gas by mixing hot combustion products with blast air.
Areas of use
- For heating workshops, utility rooms.
- During the construction and performance of installation and finishing works.
- As an additional heater for non-residential premises.
- Everywhere and always, when the creation of a heating network is expensive and impractical, as well as during seasonal work.
Product composition
The main design elements of the heaters are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Fuel
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
- As a source of thermal energy in gas air heaters, a mixture of liquefied hydrocarbon gases is used, consisting mainly of propane (C 3 H 8), butane (C 4 H 10) and pentane (C 5 H 12); The main component of this mixture is propane.
- To ensure safety when using liquefied gases, the user of a gas air heater must take into account the following properties:
- liquefied hydrocarbon gases under conditions environment are in a gaseous state, and with a slight increase in pressure (without a decrease in temperature) they pass into a liquid state. This property makes it possible to store and transport liquefied gases in containers and cylinders with the conveniences typical for gases;
- vapor pressure of liquefied gases in the cylinder depends on the ambient temperature;
- in the gaseous state, hydrocarbons are 1.5 ... 2.0 times heavier than air, due to which liquefied gas vapors accumulate in recesses, pits and other lowest points of the room, making it difficult to weather them;
- low viscosity favors gas leaks;
- low explosive limits: when the air contains 2% liquefied gas ( lower limit explosiveness) the resulting gas-air mixture becomes explosive and continues to be so until the concentration of liquefied gas in it increases to 10% (upper explosive limit); when the content of liquefied gas in the air is more than 10%, the gas-air mixture is not explosive, but combustible;
- when the outside temperature rises liquefied gas expands significantly in the cylinder, so the gas cylinder must not be allowed to heat up above a certain temperature (37 ° C);
- Liquefied gases are odorless. For early detection of gas leaks,
odorize, i.e. add a special substance - an odorant;
- all hydrocarbon gases, replacing oxygen in the air, have asphyxiating properties.
Reducing the oxygen content to 22% is deadly;
- contact of the liquid phase of liquefied gas on open areas of the skin leads to a strong
frostbite.
- Propane as a liquefied gas can be used at temperatures down to -30°C. At a lower temperature, propane vapor condenses, and gas supply stops at a temperature of -42°C. Vapors of technical butane begin to condense at -0.5°C. This property makes it impossible to use butane in winter period in cylinders installed outdoors. The gas remains in the cylinder in a liquid state, there is no evaporation, and, consequently, there is no necessary pressure in the cylinder, at which the gas pressure regulator can provide the minimum allowable gas flow.
FUEL SUPPLY
- The user must complete the gas heater with a 50 kg gas bottle(s) filled with propane. It is unacceptable to use gas cylinders of smaller capacity.
- The amount of propane available for use is determined by two factors:
- the amount of propane in the cylinder (cylinders);
- temperature of the cylinder (cylinders). - When the heater is operated at low ambient temperature or at maximum heat output, the gas cylinders may cool down due to an increase in the gas evaporation rate, which can lead to a pressure drop in the cylinder(s) and deterioration of combustion. In this case, it is recommended to connect the cylinders in parallel, as shown in Figure 4, using a special "tee" (purchased at an additional cost).
Fig.4 Parallel connection of gas cylinders
- Below is the number of 50 kg cylinders required for the operation of a gas air heater with a thermal power of 30 kW.
MAKE CONNECTIONS
1. Provide a propane supply system, see section “Fuel. Providing fuel."
2. Check for a gasket under the reducer union nut. Connect the reducer to the gas cylinder using the union nut (Figure 5), tighten the nut with a wrench. Important: When locating cylinders outdoors, install the reducer so that the adjustment knob (if any) is turned down, this will prevent damage to the reducer due to adverse weather conditions.
Fig.5 Connection of a reducer with a gas cylinder.
Important: To increase the safety of operation of gas air heaters, it is recommended to install on the gas supply line "gas fuse"
, purchased for an additional fee, shutting off the gas supply when a leak occurs in the gas supply system. When connecting heaters to the gas supply system, install a gas fuse between the fittings of the reducer and the gas supply hose to the heater. When PREPARING TO POWER ON, press the guard head gas fuse and fix it in the lowest position (this operation must be done every time after the gas pressure drops - for example, after replacing an exhausted gas cylinder). If the gas fuse tripped, cutting off the gas supply and stopping the heater, it means that there is a leak in the gas hose. In this case, perform the operations described in the MAINTENANCE section. A LEAK. After repairing the gas leak during the PREPARATION FOR START-UP, return the gas fuse into the working position by pressing on its head - gatehouse ..
3. Connect the hose to the heater power connector (Fig. 6). Lock the connection with a wrench.
Fig.6 Connecting the hose to the heater.
4. Open the valve on the gas cylinder.
5. Set the reducer handle (if the reducer is adjustable) to the gas pressure value
corresponding to the operating range of the heater (see section TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS).
6. Make sure there are no gas leaks by using the place of soaping - applying liquid
soap or soap solution to the joints.
A warning! Never use an open flame to find a leak.
Use the soaping method - applying a soapy solution to all joints.
The bubbles that form will show where the gas is leaking.
Take immediate action to repair any leaks.
7. Close the gas cylinder valve.
REPLACING THE GAS CYLINDER
Change the gas bottle(s) only where there is no open flame. Extinguish all sources
flames, including those on duty. Use only propane, 13R.
The sequence of operations when replacing a gas cylinder:
1. Tightly close the valve on the gas cylinder(s) to be replaced.
2. Disconnect the reducer from the cylinder(s).
3. Connect the reducer to the new gas cylinder. Tighten the union nut tightly.
4. Check all connections for gas leaks.

Principle of operation
FUEL SUPPLY
The gas pressure regulator (reducer) is attached to the propane tank, see the section “FUEL. MAKING CONNECTIONS”, or can be mounted on the body of the heater itself. When the gas cylinder valve is opened, gas is supplied to the combustion chamber nozzle after opening the gas valve, which has an electromagnetic principle or is opened manually by pressing the valve button.
AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM
The engine rotates the fan, under the action of which the air moves inside the combustion chamber, forming a gas-air mixture, and around it. After combustion of the gas, a stream of clean hot air is formed at the outlet of the heater.
IGNITION SYSTEM
The ignition of the gas occurs from a spark discharge between the electrodes - igniters, the voltage to which is automatically supplied from the control unit when the heater is turned on or from the ignition element when its button is pressed manually.
FLAME CONTROL SYSTEM
This system turns off the heater if the flame goes out. At the same time, gas combustion and heat generation stop, however, the fan motor continues to operate, providing purging and cooling of the combustion chamber. The basis of the control system is a temperature sensor, the signal of which shuts off the gas supply valves.
Ventilation Requirements
Before starting the heater, it is necessary to ensure, and in subsequent use, maintain the flow area of fresh outside air through the two ventilation openings (for air inlet and outlet) (S windows) in accordance with the formula:
S window = W max × 25 (cm3);
where W max is the maximum thermal power of the heater of this brand, kW.
The minimum total window area is 250 cm3.
One air vent should be at floor level, the other - under the ceiling. non-compliance minimum requirements room ventilation can result in CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. Ventilation of the room with fresh outside air must be ensured before starting the heater.
Terms of use
Check the completeness and accuracy of compliance with the requirements and prescriptions set forth in the "Safe Operation Standards" section of this Manual. Do not use the heater if at least one of the requirements is not met.

9. Maintenance.
9-1. Checking the flexible hose between the valves and the heater burner.
Once a year, check the condition of the hose (which has no time limit).
For this:
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder,
Lower the cover as low as possible (tighten ring (24) fully),
Remove control knobs (20) and (21),
Install the reflector vertically,
Loosen 5 screws (25) - diagram 22 and remove the flange,
The flexible hose becomes visible.
Make sure the flexible hose is in good condition and free from cracks, breaks, or burn marks.
If you find any damage on the hose, return the heater to the supplier.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE HOSE YOURSELF.
