ROOM SEALED UNIT HEATERS
Section 6. Servicing Instructions
After commissioning, the heater will require maintenance to be carried out at least once per year to ensure
that peak performance and safety are maintained. If the heater is used in a dirty or dusty area, then more
frequent maintenance may be necessary.
WARNING
Only competent and Qualified Engineering Personnel should carry out servicing
and fault finding on this equipment.
Before any maintenance is carried out, ensure that both gas and electrical supplies are turned off as the fan
can start automatically at any time.
NOTE 1:
After any maintenance work always test fire the heater in the prescribed manner to make sure all
safety systems are in working order before leaving the heater to run normally.
NOTE
2: Check all pipe joints for gas soundness using an approved method. Any leaks found must be
repaired before leaving the heater to fire normally.
NOTE
3: After routine maintenance, the commissioning procedure Section 4, should be carried out to ensure
that peak efficiency and safety is maintained.
Minor faults may be traced by use of the fault finding charts, Section 8.
6.1 Burner Maintenance
1. Remove the Burner Assembly as in 7.1.
2. Check condition of , the burners and clean any deposits from theburner paying particular attention to
fluff etc., which may have formed in the injectors or venturi of the burner (see 7.4).
3. Check condition of ignition electrode and flame probe for erosion and damage to the ceramic insulation
(see 7.3). Replace as necessary.
6.2 Fan/Motor Assembly - All Models
The main fan requires very little maintenance as the bearings are sealed for life and need no lubrication. If the
fan blades need cleaning remove the fan guards and use a small brush or duster to clean the fan blades from
each side of the fan(s).
The heat exchanger should remain clean unless some problem has developed with combustion. However, an
inspection of the condition of the heat exchanger is well worth while especially looking for signs of overheating
at the lower edges which may indicate burner overfiring or reduced air flow over the heat exchanger. Any
deposits in the heat exchanger may be removed with a small flue brush and vacuum cleaner from the burner
compartment.
6.3 Heat Exchanger
A heat exchanger clean out panel is also provided at the top of the heater and is accessed by removal of the
side panel of the heater oposite to the controls.
The clean out panel doubles as the mounting plate for the flue fan assembly.
If it is necessary to use this access, remove all of the fixing screws securing the cover to the side of the fume
box. When replacing this cover it is most important that new gasket material is used to ensure the integrity of
the combustion zone which must be maintained as room sealed. It is also important to ensure that the flue
outlet of the fan unit is again sealed onto the outlet flue.
