GENERAL INFORMATION

This brooder is a self-contained infrared radiant brooder for agricultural locations where flammable gases or vapors are not generally present.
Installation of the brooders must be in accordance with the relevant provisions of any National Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations taking into account any National Health and Safety at Work Regulations, National and Local Building Regulations and National Electrical Wiring Regulations.
Inspect all openings regularly and clean as necessary. This is necessary because litter, dust feathers and other matter can become airborne and clog openings and filters and adversely affect brooder operation and performance.
Every brooder should be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to the brooders. Each installer shall use skillful and reliable installation practices when locating the brooders and must give consideration to service accessibility.
For optimum temperature control for brooders requiring remote temperature controls, do not locate thermostats in shaded or draughty locations, outside the area to be heated. The sensor should also be shielded from direct radiation to prevent short cycling of the brooder.
This brooder is for INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY and is used in an UNVENTED mode. The term Unvented actually means Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national standards require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation must be provided by gravity or mechanical means. Ventilation requirements are addressed further in these instructions.
These instructions are only valid if the following country code is on the appliance GB or IE. If this code is not present on the appliance, it is necessary to refer to the  technical instructions which will provide the necessary information concerning the modification of the appliance to the conditions of use for the country.
Before installation, check that the local distribution conditions, nature of gas and pressure and adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
In the UK, Installation practices must take into account the Health and Safety at Works Act 1974 or relevant codes of practice. In addition the installation must be carried out in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations (BS 7671:2001), BS 6896:2005 (Industrial  & Commercial) and any other relevant British Standards and Codes of  Practice by a qualified installer. All external wiring MUST comply with the current IEE wiring regulations.

BROODER INSTALLATION

  1. Locate brooders approximately 8m to 12m apart, in a row, as needed for bird comfort and building heat loss. If more than one row is desired, stagger rows for best heat distribution.SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 8
  2. Suspend the brooder at the desired height above the floor (litter) level, normally 1520mm to 1830mm. For brooders connected to a winch (to allow for adjustment of brooder height), connect each brooder using a chain or cable suitable for the weight of each brooder. DO NOT USE ROPE. Size the winch and cable so that it is capable of handling the total weight of all brooders and gas piping involved. NOTE: Connect a safety chain to each brooder and anchor it to the house structure above each brooder to prevent it from falling onto the litter if the cable/chain breaks or the winch fails. THE GAS HOSE SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A SAFETY CHAIN!
  3. Connect the gas line and electrical supply (if required) to each brooder as outlined in Sections 7 and 8.

NOTE: After connection of the gas line, make sure that the brooder is suspended with the control side approximately 13mm below the other side of the brooder to prevent hot products of combustion from damaging the gas control valve.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD

A safety chain must be connected from the hanging bracket to a fixed part of the building structure directly above the brooder.
The safety chain will prevent the brooder from falling to the floor in the event that the main suspension system fails.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, serious injury or property damage.

GAS CONNECTIONS

  1. Gas piping for the house must be sized to be capable of satisfying the entire demands of the house should all equipment be operating at the same time. Please use Table 1 as a guide for the sizing of piping for the house. An example using this table is shown.

  2. Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with the National Gas Safety Regulations. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is made.

  3. Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of  liquefied petroleum (LP) gases.
    SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 9

  4. Gas connections to individual brooders can be made in several ways to fit individual operation practices. Brooders can be “hard-piped,” or they can utilize flexible gas connectors, or they can utilize rubber hosing suitable for LP gas usage (to allow movement of the brooders for cleaning, etc.). Check with the authorities having jurisdiction and/or National Gas Safety Regulations prior to choosing an individual gas connection method.

  5. A field installed keyless manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas piping to each brooder. This will allow service of individual brooders without having to shut down the entire gas supply system. When installing the gas line, it is recommended to connect a sediment trap (see illustration, previous page) in the gas line at a point before the gas line enters the house. This trap or “drip leg” acts to trap impurities and water that can condense out of the gas. It helps to keep impurities from entering the appliance and causing potential damage to gas valves, etc. Periodically remove the cap from the drip leg and drain any accumulation of dirt and/or water.

  6. After all gas connections and adjustments are made, check all gas connections for leaks (not just the gas connections at the brooders) using a heavy soap suds solution.
    ▲WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS!

  7. It is recommended that a pressure gauge be installed at the end of the gas piping run to allow you to check the gas supply pressure in the system. This needs to be capable  of accurately measuring in units of inches of water column or mbar.
    | | WARNING
    FIRE HAZARD Tighten flexible gas hose and components securely.
    Flexible gas hoses must be installed without any twists or kinks in them. DO NOT allow the hose to touch any portion of the brooder canopy during operation.
    Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property damage.
    ---|---|---

  8. Space-Ray recommends that the hose is installed with a spring (item 4) shown below to keep the hose vertical directly above the canopy. If the brooder is raised and lowered during operation it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the hose cannot come into contact with the canopy.SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 11

7a. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TESTING FOR GAS LEAKS AND PROPER GAS PRESSURE
▲WARN IN G : DO N OT OMIT THESE T ESTS !

TESTING THE INSTALLATION FOR GAS LEAKS:

  1. Inspect all connections and appliance valves to be sure connections are wrench-tight and that all appliance valves are closed, including the pilot valves.
  2. Connect a low-pressure test set to the low pressure piping system just upstream of the appliance regulators and control.
  3. Fully open the LP gas container valve slowly to pressurise the piping system. Once the system is pressurised and stabilised, close the container valve tightly.
  4. Observe the indicated pressure on the low-pressure test set gauge. This reading should be approximately equivalent to the set delivery pressure of the final stage regulator. Now, slowly open one burner valve or pilot valve on the appliance to vent off just enough gas to reduce the pressure on the test gauge by 2.5 mbar, then close the burner or pilot valve.

If the pressure remains unchanged on the gauge for at least 10 minutes, the system can be assumed leak-tight. If a drop in pressure does occur, it indicates a leak in the system. If the pressure drop occurs, check the joints, connectors, and other possible points of leakage with an approved, high quality leak detection solution.
NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Once a leak has been located and repaired, repeat Steps 3 and 4 above. If there is an increase in pressure, it indicates that the LP gas container valve is not shut off tightly. Shut off the valve tightly and repeat Step 4 above.
NOTE: Do not expose final stage piping to excessive heat or direct sunshine during the leak test. Pressure build-up in the line due to heat may compensate for pressure loss due to leaks. This will prevent the gauge reading from indicating system leaks.
▲WARNING: Gas Pressure Testing is to be performed only by qualified personnel.

CHECK GAS INLET (SUPPLY) PRESSURE:

  1. Be sure the valve is in the “OFF” position before removing the pressure tap plug at the valve. Connect a low-pressure test set (water manometer or dry gauge) to the 1/8” NPT Inlet Pressure Tap connection. (Refer to Figure 6, 6a or 6b for each control valve type.) Turn the valve to the “ON” position. DO NOT EXCEED THE PRESSURES SHOWN IN THE GAS PRESSURE TABLE.
  2. Turn the valve back to the “OFF” position before removing the test set and replacing the plug. Repeat the gas leak test at the plug

SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 13

CHECK GAS OUTLET (MANIFOLD) PRESSURE:

  1. Be sure that the valve is in the “OFF” position before removing the pressure tap plug at the valve. With the main burner operating, check the manifold pressure using a lower-pressure test set connected to the Outlet Pressure Tap. (Refer to Figure 6, 6a or 6b for each control valve type.) The controls have combination valves with built-in appliance regulators. These regulators are factory set and should not require adjustment. They should provide the correct manifold pressure at the varying supply pressures noted in the Gas Pressure Table below. DO NOT EXCEED THE PRESSURES SHOWN IN THE GAS PRESSURE TABLE.
  2. If manifold gas pressure adjustment is required, remove the manifold pressure adjustment cover screw. (See Figure 6, 6a or 6b for valve drawings.) Using a small screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to decrease the gas pressure to the burner. Once adjusted replace the manifold pressure adjustment cover screw and seal using a paint mark.
  3. Turn the valve back to the “OFF” position before removing the manometer and replacing the plug. Repeat the gas leak test at the plug.

SRB40CRE–L| LP gas G31| 25.4 mbar| 30 mbar| 30 or 37mbar

♦ Minimum permissible gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment.

PRESSURE READING NOTES:

  1. INLET PRESSURE can be checked by turning the captured screw (see Figure 6b) counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing the tubing from the gauge over the test point.
  2. OUTLET PRESSURE can be checked in the same manner as described above by using the captured screw.

♦WARNING: After taking pressure readings, be sure to turn captured screws clockwise firmly to reseal. Do not over torque. The appliance regulator is not adjustable.

REGULATOR LOCK-UP AND LEAKAGE:
After the leak testing and delivery pressure tests have proven satisfactory, the regulator lock-up and leakage test may be performed. The lock-up pressure of the final stage regulator should be slightly higher than, but not more than, 120% of the set delivery pressure. For example, on a delivery pressure setting of 30mbar, the maximum allowable lock-up pressure is 36mbar.
To perform the lock-up and leakage test, follow these steps:

  1. With the LP tank valve fully open, shut off all appliance valves so there is no demand for gas. This includes shutting off all pilots.

  2. A slight rise in pressure will occur under these conditions. This rise should be no more than 120% of the delivery pressure. This is the lock up pressure.
    NOTE: A quick rise in pressure above the allowable lock-up point could indicate undersized piping, a worn seat disc or foreign material in the seating area. This condition must be corrected before putting the system in service.

  3. Continue the test for five minutes or more. If a creeping rise in pressure is noticed, the final stage regulator seat is not closing off properly. The regulator must be replaced or repaired, and the system retested, before putting the system in service.

7b. GAS PIPE SIZING EXAMPLE
House Size: 12.2m x 122m
Brooder Quantity: 14
Individual Brooder Capacity: 12kW
Second Stage Regulator Pressure: 37mbar
Operating Pressure: 25mbar, LP gas with all brooders operating SPACE-RAY
SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 15STEP 1. Gas should be run at high pressure from the LP tank to the second stage regulator at the house. Using the above house configuration example, calculate the gas pipe sizing. First, calculate the total distance from the second stage regulator to the furthest brooder. In Figure 9 above, that distance equals 62m (6m + 56m). Using Table 1, look up the row for 61.5m and  select the smallest pipe size that has the capacity for the flow of the end brooder (12kW). The smallest pipe size is ½” with a capacity of up to 17kW over 61.5m.
STEP 2. Calculate the distance from the second furthest brooder to the secondary regulator. In the example, that distance equals 53.5m. Using Table 1, look up the row for 53.5m. As 53.5m is not listed, you will use the next distance up, in this case 61.5m. Then select the smallest pipe size that has the capacity for the flow of both the furthest (#7) and second furthest (#6) brooders, which combines to 23.4kW. The smallest pipe size is ¾” with a capacity of up to 35.2kW over 61.5m. Repeat this process for each brooder until you reach the Tee. Table 2 shows the completed example.
STEP 3. At the Tee, calculate the total distance to the secondary regulator. In this example, that equals 6m. Using Table 1, look up the row for 6m and select the smallest pipe size that has the capacity for the flow of all the brooders connected to the pipe system (164kW). The smallest pipe size is 1” with a capacity of up to 231kW over 6m.

Note 1 : The distance used is rounded down to 18.5 (60).
Note 2 : The actual smallest pipe size for the required capacity is ¾” from the table. However, the gas pipe size from brooders 3 and 4 to the regulator must be 1” diameter and therefore a smaller diameter pipe cannot be used. If ¾” pipe was used from the Tee to brooder 1, the pressure drop in the rest of the system would exceed the design pressure drop of 1.25mbar.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – No. 2 and No. 4 Control

  1. All electrical wiring to this brooder must be installed in accordance with the latest or current National Regulations and any Local Regulations, which
  2. The electrical system must be electrically grounded in accordance with the latest or current National Regulations and any Local Regulations, which apply.
  3. The brooders with the #9 control options do not require any electrical supply because they generate their own electricity and operate thermostatically off this power. The brooders with the #2 control option require a 24VAC supply to each brooder. This is provided via a 24Volt The 24Volt Transformer MUST be large enough to operate the number of brooders connected to it (see table below). This is calculated as follows:

Note: The 24 volt common terminal must be grounded.

VENTILATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Exhaust fans must be operating on an appropriate cycle when heating the building to avoid high concentrations of carbon monoxide and water apour.
The temptation, particularly during the winter months, is to close up the poultry house to conserve heat and save money. This must be resisted, particularly during the heating up period prior to the arrival of the stock, because the lack of ventilation can restrict the required amount of combustion air for the brooders causing them to burn improperly and produce levels of carbon monoxide which could be harmful to people and the stock.
♦WARNING: Carbon Monoxide is an odourless and poisonous gas. Extended exposure to carbon monoxide may lead to death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, including headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you experience these signs, GET FR ESH AIR IMMEDIAT ELY. Have the brooders serviced as soon as possible and check the ventilation in the house.
The ventilation requirements and calculation methods for unflued appliances are set out in the European Standards EN 13410:latest revision and must be applied. Ventilation may be achieved by any of the three following different means:
a). Ventilation by thermal evacuation.
Ventilation by thermal evacuation is sufficient if 10m3 /h of exhaust air per kW of operating heat input are ventilated out of the installation room.
The air/products of combustion mixture must be evacuated above the radiant heaters, if possible near the ridge, by means of exhaust mixture openings (vents).
Where the exhaust mixture openings can be closed, it shall only be possible to operate the radiant heaters when they are open.
The maximum horizontal distance between a radiant heater and vent opening shall be:  6 (six) times the vent height in the case of wall openings 3 (three) times the vent height in the case of roof openings.
b). Ventilation by mechanical evacuation.
Ventilation by mechanical ventilation is sufficient if 10m3 /h of exhaust air per kW of operating heat input are ventilated out of the installation room.
The air/products of combustion mixture must be evacuated above the radiant heaters using fans.
It shall only be possible to operate the radiant heaters whilst the exhaust airflow is proven.
The maximum horizontal distance between a radiant heater and a fan shall be:
6 (six) times the fan mounting height in the case of wall openings
3 (three) times the fan mounting height in the case of roof openings.
Total minimum proven ventilation airflow in m 3 /h will be:
Total installed kW input X 10
Note: Mechanical exhaust air openings must be positioned such that the burner stability of the nearest appliance us unaffected.
c). Ventilation by natural air change.
Gas fired radiant heaters may be operated without any special exhaust system if the exhaust gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere by a sufficient natural air change in the installation room.
Furthermore, no provision for thermal or mechanical ventilation is required in the following particular cases:
i). Buildings with natural air change greater than 1.5 volumes per hour
ii). Buildings with a density of operating heat input not greater than 5W/m3.

Air Supply.
Air supply openings are required to admit air and shall be located below the radiant heaters.
The total area of the unobstructed cross-sections of all the air supply openings shall not be smaller than the total area of the unobstructed cross- sections of all the exhaust openings.
Slits and gaps of fixed cross-sections can also be used as air supply openings.
Where the air supply openings can be closed, it shall only be possible to operate the radiant heaters when they are opened.
Ventilation requirements may vary depending on other equipment that may be located in the building requiring ventilation. All ventilation requirements should be addressed before sizing the necessary gravity or mechanical means to accomplish this ventilation.
While ventilation is necessary for proper brooder operation and proper growing conditions for the stock, excessive ventilation can result in high fuel consumption. Adjust the ventilation as necessary for optimum performance of the brooders and growing conditions for the stock.

SERVICING and MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Turn the gas and electrical supply OFF and allow the brooder to cool down for 20 minutes before attempting any maintenance.
WARNING

| HOT SURFACE HAZARD The brooder will be HOT after operation and it should not be serviced for 20 minutes after operation.
---|---
| POISION & SOOT HAZARD The swivel clamp must be repositioned to the closed position after the orifice has been cleaned. The brooder must always be operated with the swivel clamp in the closed position.
| | FIRE HAZARD Tighten flexible gas hose and components securely. Flexible gas hoses must be installed without any twists or kinks in them. DO NOT allow the hose to touch any portion of the brooder canopy during operation. Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property damage.
| | ELECTRIC SHOCK & EXPLOSION HAZARD Disconnect electrical power and gas supply before servicing. Failure to do so may result in death or serious njury.

CAUTION
The orifice must be cleaned with a pin having a diameter slightly smaller than the actual orifice hole size (see nameplete). DO NOT use a drill. The orifice must be cleaned without being removed from the fitting.
CAUTION
DO NOT transport brooder with DSI Box attached. May result in damage to support bracket and DSI Box. 43311180 rev A 7/2013.

MAINTENANCE:

Maintenance is defined as work that a non-gas competent person may  carry out on the appliance. This work must not involve the use of tools to maintain/access the gas and electric components on the appliance. The maintenance procedure must be carried out after each crop.

  1. Release the main burner orifice fitting from the burner by turning the swivel clamp.
    CAUTION: In order to prevent damage to the control arm tubing, first place a hand under the fitting and allow the control to be lowered gently under its own weight.

  2. The orifice must be cleaned without being removed from the fitting. This is carried out by inserting a pin having a smaller diameter than the actual orifice hole size (see the brooder nameplate or instruction manual). DO NOT USE A DRILL as this will increase the orifice hole and result in overfiring.

  3. Clean around the burner cap ports with a bristle brush. After cleaning the burner ports, compressed air can be blown into the burner ports to blow any debris out of the burner through the burner venturi.

  4. Clean both the inside and outside surfaces of the perforated emitter assembly with a large wire brush; then use compressed air to remove any burnt dust or dirt particles  from the emitter.

  5. Reconnect the main burner orifice fitting to burner in reverse order.

  6. Remove the windshield and housing tab. The pilot orifice must be cleaned without being removed from the fitting. This is carried out by inserting a pin having a smaller diameter than the actual orifice hole size (see the brooder instruction manual). DO NOT USE A DRILL as this will increase the orifice hole and result in overfiring.

  7. Replace the housing tab and windshield.

SERVICING:
A qualified person must service the appliance. Servicing is defined as work that requires the use of tools or the person to access/remove components along the control arm assembly. The brooder must be serviced annually as a minimum, or more frequently as circumstances/conditions dictate.
WARNING

| | ELECTRIC SHOCK & EXPLOSION HAZARD
Disconnect electrical power and gas supply before servicing.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
---|---|---

To keep your brooder in good operating condition, we recommend that after each crop you blow any dust and dirt from the brooder with compressed air. If at anytime you notice a lazy yellow flame as shown below then the brooder needs to be cleaned:
CAUTION:
TURN THE GAS AND ELECTRIC (IF EQUIPPED) SUPPLIES OFF AND ALLOW THE BROODER TO COOL DOWN BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.

Inspect the flame characteristics by running the brooder with the Mechanical Ventilation OFF and Natural Ventilation by opening the doors at the end of the house.
This will result in a flame that is more stable to observe.
If at anytime 25% or more of the flame turns yellow or on an annual basis, we recommend that the burner and orifices be disassembled and cleaned. Built up deposits in the burner will not be effectively cleaned with compressed air.

  1. Release the main burner orifice fitting from the burner by turning the swivel clamp.
    CAUTION: In order to prevent damage to the control arm tubing, first place your hand under the fitting and allow the control to lower gently under its own weight.

  2. Unscrew the main burner orifice from the orifice fitting and clean the orifice hole with a drill bit the same size as the orifice or by soaking the orifice in acetone liquid cleaner. Dry the orifice by blowing compressed air through it. NOTE: Care must be taken not to ream the orifice hole to a larger diameter as this will result in over firing the burner and potentially causing damage to the emitter.

  3. Apply pipe thread sealant Part No. 05001010 PIPETITE-STIK #11175 (resistant to LP Gas) to the threads of the orifice and replace it into the orifice fitting. Avoid over tightening the orifice as this will make future removal very difficult.SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 18

  4. Before removing the burner base it is advisable to make sure you have spare spacer screws and nuts available Part No. 40219520 (#10-24 MALE x MALE THREADED HEX – SS) and Part No. 02167029 (#10-24 HEX LOCKNUT – SS). The spacer screws and nuts used to secure the burner are stainless steel and may gall and therefore shear off during disassembly. See Figures 12 and 13 below for spacer screw replacement.

  5. Remove the main burner. Clean around the burner cap ports and upper burner surfaces with a small bristle brush (available as an accessory, Part No. 43295010) or other small wire brush. After cleaning the burner ports, use the same brush to clean inside the burner base and venturi. Compressed air can be blown onto the burner ports and through the burner venturi to remove any remaining dust.SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 19

  6. Clean both the inside and outside surfaces of the perforated emitter assembly with a large bristle brush (available as an accessory, Part No. 43295020) or other large bristle type brush; then use compressed air to remove any burnt dust or dirt particles from the emitter.

  7. Blow all dirt and dust off the canopy with compressed air.

  8. Care should be taken when reassembling the burner base to avoid distorting the burner by over tightening the securing nuts. See Figure 12 below. If any spacer screws sheared during the removal process they must be replaced. The hex locknuts holding the spacer screws are accessible from inside the emitter assembly, see the Figure 13 below.SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig 20

  9. Remove the pilot burner orifice and clean the orifice hole with a drill bit the same size as the orifice or by soaking the orifice in acetone liquid cleaner. Dry the orifice by blowing compressed air through it.
    NOTE: Care must be taken not to ream the orifice hole to a larger diameter as this will result in over firing the burner and potentially causing damage to the emitter.
    Access to the pilot burner can be made by first sliding the windshield off the pilot assembly. Next, remove the outer pilot housing from the pilot assembly by pulling the tab with a pair of pliers. After cleaning, reassemble the pilot assembly in reverse order.
    NOTE: Make sure that the outer pilot housing snaps into place with the inner pilot housing.SPACE-RAY SRB40CRE Radiant Gas Brooder - fig
21 Note: Combustion air ring shown for Natural gas models only

  10. Remove and clean the thermocouple when necessary using acetone liquid cleaner.
    NOTE: After reassembly of all components, check the gas connections at the burner and the gas valve for leaks. Use a heavy soapsuds solution. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks

  11. Re-assemble components in reverse order. Re-Commission in accordance with the instructions contained in Section 9.
