Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 150K BTU/Intermittent Pilot Ignition/NG/Single Stage w/Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger & Burner
Features
- Made in the USA
- 83% thermal efficiency, maximizing seasonal efficiency through the use of a collector box and the power exhauster
- A power exhaust can rotate 180° allowing the unit to be vented vertically or horizontally
- A 100% shut-off if the unit does not light, to ensure that unburned gases do not build up in the unit
- An intermittent pilot-ignition system with continuous retry to keep the unit from locking and needing to be reset if the unit does not light on the first try
- All PDP/BDP units can be field-converted from natural gas to propane if desired
- A safety pressure-switch monitors the vent pipe to assure flue gases leave the building and do not back up in the space
- Designed to utilize the smallest-diameter vent pipe possible
- “Wing” screws so that the bottom pan can be dropped without a screwdriver or nut driver
- A level hanging mechanism for easy field adjustments after adding accessories that may change the unit’s center of gravity
- Draws combustion air from inside the workspace
- 5" vent connection
- Natural Gas
- 150,000 BTU
- Intermittent Pilot Ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
-

Q&A
Q: How does intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) work?
A: IPI activates the pilot light only when necessary, reducing fuel consumption and offering a more energy-efficient ignition system compared to traditional constant pilot lights.
Q: What space size is this heater suitable for?
A: The 150K BTU model is ideal for heating large commercial spaces like workshops, garages, and warehouses, covering areas up to 2,000 sq. ft., depending on insulation and layout.
Q: Is this heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the intermittent pilot ignition system helps save fuel, making this heater a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for commercial heating.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Burners & Heat Exchanger – Regularly remove debris from the burners and heat exchanger to maintain optimal heat transfer and ensure efficient performance.
-
Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check for gas leaks and ensure all connections are secure to prevent safety hazards.
-
Clear Air Intake & Exhaust Vents – Ensure vents are free of blockages to maintain proper airflow, helping to prevent overheating.
-
Check Intermittent Pilot Ignition – Verify that the intermittent pilot ignition is functioning properly for reliable startup and safe operation.
-
Monitor Burner Flame – Inspect the burner flame periodically to ensure it is steady, clean, and properly sized for optimal heating.
-
Ensure Proper Thermostat Calibration – Regularly check that the thermostat is properly calibrated for accurate temperature control and energy efficiency.
-
Clean and Replace Filters – Maintain filters to ensure clean airflow and maximize heater efficiency.
-
Annual Professional Inspection – Schedule a professional inspection annually to ensure the heater is operating safely and at peak performance.
