Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 200K BTU/Direct Spark Ignition/LP/Separated Combustion/Single Stage w/Aluminized 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
- Liquid Propane
- 200,000 BTU
- Direct spark ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
- Aluminized steel heat exchanger

Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect Gas Supply Lines & Connections – Regularly check gas supply lines and connections for signs of wear or leaks. If any leaks are detected, they should be repaired immediately by a professional.
-
Clean the Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger – Dust and debris can accumulate over time, reducing heat efficiency. Clean the heat exchanger to maintain optimal performance and extend the heater's lifespan.
-
Check the Burner & Ignition System – Ensure the direct spark ignition system is functioning correctly. If the heater does not ignite, the burner may need cleaning or parts may need to be replaced.
-
Examine the Separated Combustion System – Since this heater features separated combustion, ensure that both the intake and exhaust systems are clear of obstructions, promoting safe and effective operation.
-
Test the Safety Controls – Ensure all safety features, such as the high-temperature limit switch and pressure switch, are working as expected. These prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.
-
Check Venting System – Inspect the venting system for any blockages, as poor ventilation can lead to inefficient combustion and potential safety hazards.
-
Verify Thermostat Accuracy – Ensure the thermostat is reading correctly and calibrate it if necessary. An inaccurate thermostat can lead to improper heating and inefficient energy use.
-
Replace Filters – If the system has filters, replace them as needed to maintain airflow and reduce stress on the unit.
-
Professional Annual Service – Have a professional inspect and service the heater annually to ensure all components are working efficiently and safely.
