INTRODUCTION
Indirect fired heaters are sophisticated, reliable, and highly efficient heaters. Ideal for places where there’s limited ventilation, or where people are present, as they deliver huge volumes of clean, dry, fume free heat safely and economically. The Sealey 102,000Btu/hr Indirect Space Warmer® has a 30kW heat output ideal for heating marquees, events, halls, workshops, warehouses, construction sites and more. Combustion by-products are exhausted out of the top of the heater through the flue. Ducting is available, Model No. ABI1000AK1 sold separately, allowing you to safely vent exhaust fumes away from the space. With a thermostat control it allows you to set a required ambient temperature and maintain it. The thermostat will switch the heater on and off as required to maintain the set ambient temperature, this saves fuel and adds extra convenience. The indirect heater includes a stainless-steel combustion chamber with fan cooling, built-in flame sensor, Danfoss pump, electronic flame control and electronic control panel which ensures reliable performance. Fitted with a flame-out device which cuts the fuel supply when the flame is inadvertently extinguished or if the fuel has run out ensuring maximum safety. Suitable for use with Kerosene or Diesel. Large wheels and a handle make the heater easy to transport, position and re-position where required on site.

plastic bag, put it in its packing box and store it in a dry, ventilated
place.
DO NOT attempt any electrical repair yourself. If the heater needs service or
repair, contact a qualified technician.
DO NOT use a faulty unit unless a qualified technician has inspected and
repaired it. When cleaning, make sure that water does not enter the unit. DO
NOT open the enclosure to clean the inner parts. DO NOT spray water into the
heater.
7.5. Never use solvents, gasoline, toluene and similar aggressive chemicals to
clean the heater.
7.6. The following checks BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY are recommended before
every seasonal use:
7.7. FUEL FILTERS
7.7.1. Clean fuel filters by unscrewing the filter tray (clockwise) Remove the
filter cartridge and wash it with petrol or replace it if necessary.
Check seal O-ring and replace it if necessary. Reassemble the tray, fig.3. The
fuel filter installed on the gear pump should be cleaned or replaced if
necessary by unscrewing cap H, fig.4.
7.8. EXTRACT THE BURNER HEAD
7.8.1. WHIRL DISC
Clean the whirl disc (fig.5) using a brush and then blow compressed air on it.
To get good combustion the air flow openings in the whirl disc should be
perfectly clean and free.
7.8.2. NOZZLE
Carefully unscrew nozzle from nozzle fitting, blow compressed air through
nozzle orifice to free it from dirt. Replace nozzle if necessary, fig.5.
7.8.3. IGNITION ELECTRODES
Clean, adjust and if necessary replace ignition electrode. for electrode gaps
see figs 6 & 7. (dimensions in mm).
7.9. FUEL PUMP PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT fig.8
7.9.1. The fuel pressure is factory set and must be checked and adjusted by
qualified technicians only. Tampering with the unit may be dangerous.
7.9.2. Remove pressure gauge cap (P) fig.4. Connect a pressure gauge on the
pressure measuring port on pump. Start heater and read fuel pressure value. If
necessary adjust pressure to the correct value turning the adjusting screw
(P1) fig.4, clockwise to increase, anticlockwise to decrease the pressure:
Pump Pressure (bar): 10.0
7.10. AIR COLLAR ADJUSTMENT fig.8
7.10.1. The air collar position is factory set and must be checked and
adjusted by qualified technicians only. Tampering with the unit may be
dangerous.
7.11. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
Due to lower oxygen rate with reference to high altitude installation on sea
level, it may be necessary to increase air rate by opening the air collar
fig.8, or to reduce the setting pressure on fuel pump, fig.6. This setting
adjustment can be necessary to prevent excessive smoke emission due to lack of
Oxygen.
7.12. WIRING DIAGRAM fig.9
7.13. LONG TERM STORAGE
If the heater is to be stored for a long period of time, drain the fuel through the fuel cap opening. Rinse and swirl a small amount of fuel within the tank and then empty it fully. When you come to use the heater again do not use old fuel which has been stored from the previous season. Use of old fuel can damage your heater.
Although our heaters operate with diesel fuel, when the temperature is below 0°C diesel additives are required to maintain the diesel’s viscosity. Typically diesel can cloud in freezing conditions and will start to gel. You will need additives for your fuel in these conditions.
Kerosene does not start to gel until the ambient temperature is around -40°C.
Refertofig.10above.
DO NOT use paraffin in these heaters.
