INTRODUCTION

LP41.V2: 40,500Btu/hr(11.5kW) Propane Space Warmer®. Features safety solenoid value which prevents the unit from leaking gas and safely ignites by the Piezo push-button ignition system. Supplied with a fully approved gas regulator and hose. The Space Warmer® is fan assisted and as the fuel is completely burned it leaves no oily residue like you may experience when using other types of fuel heaters. There is no odour, except for the few seconds during start-up and the unit runs a little more quietly since they do not need a compressor to drive the fuel to the burner. Heats an area of 6850ft³(194m³) with a fuel consumption of 0.91kg/hr.

SPECIFICATION

INSTALLATION

NOTE:
If a small gas cylinder is used, the heater may not operate at maximum efficiency. It is recommended to use two or more cylinders linked in parallel, to achieve maximum continuous efficiency (fig.3).
4.1. CONNECTIONS
4.1.1. Check heater and gas cylinder to ensure that they are both in good condition. If not, stop and contact your supplier immediately.
4.1.2. Site the heater and gas cylinder in the location to be heated.
4.1.3. Connect the heater to an electrical supply outlet, ensuring that the machine is earthed correctly. See safety instructions.
4.1.4. Connect the gas supply hose to the pressure regulator, and connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Note: Left hand threads are used on these fuel gas fittings.
4.1.5. Connect the other end of the gas supply hose to the heater’s gas inlet connection (fig.2). Ensure all connections are tight.
4.1.6. Gradually open the tap of the gas cylinder. Check hose and all fittings for gas leaks. Close gas tap if gas is present.
•WARNING! DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME to check for leaks, we recommend the use of a foamy soap solution.

IMPORTANT: To ensure continuous ventilation to the heater area, a ventilation opening must connect to the outside of the premises where the heater is to operate. The opening must be 100cm² for every kW, and must be set at an equal distance from the upper and lower parts of heater operating area.
