THEORY OF OPERATION
FUELS
WARNING: Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to
avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use gasoline,
naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol or other highly
flammable fuels.
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using
heavy fuels will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle
• use of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT:
Use a KEROSENE ONLY container. Be sure
storage container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water
will cause the flame-out control to shut down heater. Foreign matter
may also require you to clean fuel system often.
VENTILATION
WARNING: Follow the minimum fresh, outside air
ventilation requirements. If proper fresh, outside air
ventilation is not provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air ventilation before running heater.
Provide a fresh air opening of at least 2800 square cm (three square
feet) for each 30kw (100,000 Btu/Hr) rating. Provide extra fresh air
if more heaters are being used.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Fuel System: The air pump forces air through the air line. The
air is then pushed through the burner head nozzle. This air causes
fuel to lift from the tank. A fine mist of fuel is sprayed into the
combustion chamber.
The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into
and around the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides
a stream of clean, hot air.
The Ignition System: The ignition control assembly provides
power to the ignitor. This ignites the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber.
The Flame-Out Control System: This system causes the heater to
shut down if the flame goes out.

INFORMAZIONI SULLA
SICUREZZA
AVVERTENZE
IMPORTANTE: leggere attentamente e
completamente il manuale operativo prima di tentare
l’assemblaggio, la messa in funzione o la
manutenzione di questo riscaldatore. L’uso del
riscaldatore può causare lesioni gravi o fatali a seguito
di ustioni, incendio, esplosione, scariche elettriche o
asfissia da ossido di carbonio.
PERICOLO: L’asfissia da ossido di carbonio può
risultare fatale!
Asfissia da ossido di carbonio - I primi sintomi di asfissia da ossido
di carbonio assomigliano a quelli dell’influenza, con cefalee, capogiri
e/o nausea. Tali sintomi potrebbero essere causati dal funzionamento
difettoso del riscaldatore. Trasferirsi immediatamente all’aperto!
Far riparare il riscaldatore. Alcune persone risentono maggiormente
degli effetti dell’ossido di carbonio, specie le donne gravide, coloro
che soffrono di malattie cardiache o polmonari, gli anemici, gli
ubriachi e quanti si trovano in località ad alta quota.
Accertarsi di leggere e comprendere tutte le avvertenze. Conservare
questo manuale a titolo di futuro riferimento: funge infatti da guida
al funzionamento sicuro e corretto del riscaldatore.
•Usare solamente cherosene o olio combustibile nº 1 per evitare
i rischi di incendio o di esplosione. Non fare mai uso di benzina,
nafta, solventi per vernici, alcool o altri combustibili altamente
infiammabili.
•Rifornimento
a)Il personale incaricato del rifornimento deve essere
qualificato ed avere totale dimestichezza con le istruzioni
del fabbricante e con la normativa vigente in merito al
rifornimento sicuro dei riscaldatori.
b)Usare solamente il tipo di combustibile espressamente
specificato sulla targhetta identificativa del riscaldatore.
c)Prima di effettuare il rifornimento, spegnere tutte le fiamme,
compresa quella pilota, ed attendere che il riscaldatore si raffreddi.
d)Nel corso del rifornimento, ispezionare tutte le linee del
combustibile ed i relativi raccordi, alla ricerca di eventuali
perdite. Qualsiasi perdita va riparata prima di rimettere in
funzione il riscaldatore.
e)In nessuna circostanza si deve conservare nello stesso edificio,
in vicinanza del riscaldatore, una quantità di combustibile
superiore a quella necessaria per mantenere in funzione il
riscaldatore per una giornata. Le cisterne di magazzinaggio
del carburante devono trovarsi in una struttura separata.
f) Tutti i serbatoi del combustibile devono trovarsi ad una
distanza minima di 762 cm (25 piedi) da riscaldatori, cannelli
ossidrici, attrezzature per la saldatura e simili fonti di
accensione (ad eccezione del serbatoio del combustibile
incorporato nel riscaldatore).
g)Ogniqualvolta possibile, il combustibile va conservato in
locali il cui pavimento non permetta la penetrazione ed il
gocciolio del combustibile stesso su fiamme sottostanti che
possano causarne l’accensione.
h)La conservazione del combustibile va effettuata in conformità
alla normativa vigente.
•Non usare mai il riscaldatore in locali nei quali siano presenti
benzina, solventi per vernici o altri vapori altamente
infiammabili.
•Durante l’uso del riscaldatore, attenersi a tutte le ordinanze
locali ed alla normativa vigente.
•I riscaldatori usati in prossimità di teloni, tende o altri materiali
di copertura simili devono essere situati a distanza di sicurezza
da essi. La distanza minima di sicurezza consigliata è pari a
304,8 cm (10 piedi). Si consiglia anche di usare materiali di
copertura di tipo ignifugo. T ali materiali vanno fissati in modo
sicuro, onde evitare che prendano fuoco e prevenire interferenze
causate dal vento con il riscaldatore.
•Usare solamente in aree ben ventilate. Predisporre un’apertura
di 2,800 cm
nominale, allo scopo di immettere aria fresca dall’esterno.
•Usare solamente in ambienti privi di vapori infiammabili o di
elevate concentrazioni di polvere.
•Alimentare il riscaldatore solamente con corrente avente la
tensione e la frequenza specificate sulla targhetta identificativa.
•Usare solamente prolunghe a tre fili opportunamente collegate
a massa.
•Distanza minima di sicurezza intercorrente tra in riscaldatore
e sostanze combustibili: uscita anteriore - 250 cm (8 piedi); di
lato, in alto e sul retro - 125 cm (4 piedi).
•Porre il riscaldatore caldo o in funzione su una superficie stabile e livellata, in modo da evitare i rischi di incendio.
•Quando si sposta o si conserva il riscaldatore, mantenerlo in
posizione livellata, per evitare la fuoriuscita del combustibile.
•Tenere lontani i bambini e gli animali dal riscaldatore.
•Scollegare il riscaldatore dalla presa di rete quando non lo si usa.
•Quando è controllato da un termostato, il riscaldatore può
accendersi in qualsiasi momento.
•Non usare mai il riscaldatore in stanze frequentemente abitate
né in camere da letto.
•Non bloccare mai la presa dell’aria (lato posteriore) né l’uscita
dell’aria (lato anteriore) del riscaldatore.
•Quando il riscaldatore è caldo, collegato alla rete o in funzione
non deve mai essere spostato, maneggiato, rifornito né soggetto
ad alcun intervento di manutenzione.
•Non collegare mai condotti dell’aria ai lati anteriore o posteriore
del riscaldatore.

VENTILAZIONE
PRINCIPI DI FUNZIONAMENTO
COMBUSTIBILI
AVVERTENZA: Usare solamente cherosene o olio
combustibile nº 1 per evitare i rischi di incendio o di
esplosione. Non fare mai uso di benzina, nafta, solventi
per vernici, alcool o altri combustibili altamente
infiammabili.
Non usare combustibili pesanti, quali olio combustibile nº 2 o
gasolio nº 2. L’uso di combustibili pesanti causa:
• l’intasamento del filtro del combustibile e dell’ugello;
• la formazione di depositi carboniosi sulla candela;
• la necessità di usare additivi antigelo non tossici in caso di temperature molto basse.
IMPORTANTE:
usare un apposito contenitore, contrassegnato
dalla dicitura ESCLUSIVAMENTE PER CHEROSENE, ed
accertarsi che sia pulito. La presenza di sostanze estranee quali
ruggine, sporco o acqua fa scattare la protezione post-estinzione,
causando il conseguente arresto del riscaldatore. Inoltre, a causa
degli agenti contaminanti, può essere necessario pulire con maggiore
frequenza il sistema di alimentazione.
VENTILAZIONE
AVVERTENZA: Soddisfare i requisiti minimi
prescritti di ventilazione con aria fresca proveniente
dall’esterno, pena la possibile asfissia da ossido di
carbonio. Assicurare adeguata ventilazione con aria
esterna fresca prima di accendere il riscaldatore.
Predisporre un’apertura di 2,800 cm2 (3 piedi quadrati) per ogni
30 KW(100.000 BTU/h) di portata nominale, allo scopo di
immettere aria fresca dall’esterno. Aumentare il volume di aria
fresca disponibile quando si usa più di un riscaldatore
contemporaneamente.
PRINCIPI DI FUNZIONAMENTO
Alimentazione del combustibile - L’aria forzata dal compressore
attraverso il tubo dell’aria viene erogata attraverso l’ugello della
testa di combustione, aspira il combustibile dal serbatoio e lo
spruzza nella camera di combustione in forma nebulizzata.
Sistema dell’aria - Il motore fa ruotare una ventola che a sua volta
fa circolare l’aria all’interno ed attorno alla camera di combustione.
L’aria viene riscaldata ed emessa calda e pulita all’esterno.
Sistema di accensione - Il gruppo di controllo dell’accensione
applica corrente all’accenditore, che innesca la miscela aria/
combustibile nella camera di combustione.
Sistema di protezione post-estinzione - Questo sistema arresta il
riscaldatore in caso di estinzione della fiamma.

Informazioni
CONSERVAZIONE,
TRASPORTO O SPEDIZIONE
Nota:
ai fini della spedizione, le ditte di trasporto richiedono lo
svuotamento del serbatoio.
1.Svuotare il serbatoio del combustibile.
Nota:
alcuni modelli sono dotati di un tappo di scarico posto
sul lato inferiore del serbatoio. In tal caso, rimuovere il tappo
di scarico e svuotare il combustibile. Se il riscaldatore in
dotazione non dispone di tappo di scarico, il combustibile va
svuotato attraverso il tappo del serbatoio. Accertarsi che il
serbatoio sia completamente vuoto.
2.Chiudere il tappo di scarico, se in dotazione.
3.Se si nota la presenza di detriti nel vecchio combustibile, versare
un paio di litri di cherosene nel serbatoio, agitare e scaricare di
nuovo il combustibile. Ciò impedisce l’accumularsi di quantità
eccessive di detriti sui filtri, evitandone l’intasamento nel corso
di usi futuri.
4.Chiudere il tappo del serbatoio o il tappo di scarico. Smaltire
in modo appropriato il combustibile vecchio e sporco,
consegnandolo ad una stazione di servizio che ricicla olio.
5.Ai fini dell’immagazzinaggio, conservare il riscaldatore in un
luogo asciutto, privo di polvere o di vapori corrosivi.
IMPORTANTE:
ai fini del riscaldamento durante la stagione fredda successiva.
L’uso di combustibile vecchio può danneggiare il riscaldatore.
