Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 175K BTU/Direct Spark Ignition/NG/Separated Combustion/Single Stage w/Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 175K BTU/Direct Spark Ignition/NG/Separated Combustion/Single Stage w/Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

Features

• Specifically designed for environments with hostile atmospheric conditions, such as chemicals, high humidity or negative pressure
• Combustion air is brought in from outside the heated area - either from outdoor air or from an adjacent room - eliminating the need to use contaminated indoor air for combustion
• In-shot burners fire each heat exchanger tube for reliable performance, ease of service and decreased noise on ignition
• Same-size vent and combustion air inlets throughout product line makes installation easier
• Longer allowable vent lengths (up to 50′ vs 30′) versus previous line, providing greater installation options
• Round vent pipe and combustion air inlet pipe connection
• Automatic reset vent pressure switch is designed to prevent operation of the main burner in the event there is restricted venting of the flue
• Integrated direct spark control board provides digital control of the air mover, inducer, ignition, gas valve and flame sense
• Control Step Down Transformer used to step down from 115v to 24v for the gas controls, fan delay relay, field supplied motor start and more
• Remote flame sensor verifies ignition of all burners, monitors the flame single and communicates with the integrated circuit board
• High limit control switch is mounted in the air stream and will shut off the gas supply in the event of overheating
• 4" vent & combustion air connection
• Natural Gas
• 150,000 BTU
• Direct spark ignition
• Single stage - on/off operation
• Aluminized steel heat exchanger

Q&A

Q: What is separated combustion, and why is it beneficial?
A: Separated combustion draws fresh air from outside for burning fuel, ensuring better air quality inside your workspace and reducing contaminants. It is essential for closed environments or spaces with limited airflow.

Q: What type of ignition does it use?
A: This heater uses direct spark ignition (DSI), which eliminates the need for a standing pilot light and improves efficiency and reliability.

Q: What size area can this heater heat?
A: The Modine 175K BTU heater is ideal for heating larger commercial spaces, capable of covering up to 4,500 sq. ft., depending on insulation and space layout.

Q: How does the stainless steel heat exchanger benefit this heater?
A: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and ensures optimal heat transfer, making the heater more durable and efficient over time.

Q: Is this heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the Modine heater is designed to maximize natural gas efficiency, ensuring reliable heat while reducing energy consumption.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean Burners Regularly – Ensure burners are free of dust and debris for optimal combustion and ignition reliability.
• Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check for any gas leaks and make sure all fittings are secure to ensure safe operation.
• Clear Air Intake & Exhaust Vents – Keep vents clear of obstructions to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Maintain Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger – Periodically clean to improve heat transfer and extend the heater's lifespan.
• Check Separated Combustion System – Inspect air intake and exhaust to ensure proper sealing and prevent blockages.
• Test Direct Spark Ignition – Regularly verify ignition function to ensure smooth and reliable startup.
• Monitor Thermostat Settings – Confirm thermostat calibration to ensure consistent and efficient temperature control.
• Annual Professional Inspection – Schedule a yearly checkup to maintain safety, efficiency, and optimal performance.
