Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 175K BTU/Intermittent Pilot Ignition/LP/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
  
• Liquid Propane
  
• 175,000 BTU
  
• Intermittent Pilot Ignition
  
• Single stage - on/off operation
  
• Aluminized steel heat exchanger & burner

Q&A

Q: How does intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) enhance efficiency?
A: IPI only activates the pilot light when needed, reducing energy consumption and providing reliable ignition without the need for a constantly running pilot light.

Q: What advantages do the aluminized steel heat exchanger and burner offer?
A: The aluminized steel heat exchanger is resistant to corrosion and provides excellent heat conductivity, ensuring efficient heating and longevity. The burner optimizes combustion for consistent and effective heating performance.

Q: What size space is this heater best suited for?
A: With 175,000 BTUs, this heater is ideal for heating medium to large commercial spaces, such as warehouses, workshops, and garages, typically covering up to 2,500 sq. ft.

Q: Is this heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the intermittent pilot ignition system significantly reduces fuel consumption, making it a more energy-efficient choice for commercial heating needs.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean Burners & Heat Exchanger – Regularly clean the burners and aluminized steel heat exchanger to ensure efficient heat transfer and reliable ignition.
• Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check for any leaks or loose connections in the gas lines to ensure safe operation.
• Clear Air Intake & Exhaust Vents – Ensure that vents are clear from obstructions to allow for proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Check Intermittent Pilot Ignition – Inspect the pilot ignition system to ensure it is working properly for consistent and safe operation.
• Monitor Burner Flame – Periodically inspect the burner flame to ensure it’s steady and efficient for consistent heat output.
• Verify Thermostat Accuracy – Ensure the thermostat is properly calibrated to maintain the desired temperature and avoid energy wastage.
• Maintain Air Filters – Clean or replace filters regularly to maintain airflow and optimize the heater's performance.
• Annual Professional Inspection – Have a professional technician inspect the heater annually to ensure safety, reliability, and long-lasting performance.
