Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 250K BTU/Direct Spark Ignition/LP/Separated Combustion/Single Stage w/Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger

Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 250K 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
• 6" vent & combustion air connection
• Liquid Propane
• 250,000 BTU
• Direct spark ignition
• Single stage - on/off operation
• Aluminized steel heat exchanger

Q&A

Q: What is separated combustion, and why is it important?
A: Separated combustion pulls air from outside for fuel burning, preventing contaminants from entering the workspace and maintaining better air quality. It’s crucial for environments with restricted ventilation.

Q: What type of ignition system does this heater use?
A: The Modine 250K BTU heater uses direct spark ignition (DSI), which eliminates the need for a pilot light, enhancing energy efficiency and reliability.

Q: How large of a space can this heater heat?
A: This model is capable of heating large commercial spaces up to 6,000 sq. ft., depending on the room layout and insulation.

Q: Why is the aluminized steel heat exchanger a good choice?
A: Aluminized steel is corrosion-resistant, ensuring superior heat transfer and a longer lifespan, contributing to the overall durability and efficiency of the heater.

Q: Is this heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the Modine 250K BTU heater is designed to maximize the use of liquid propane and deliver efficient, cost-effective heating.

Maintenance Tips

1. Clean Burners Regularly – Remove debris and dust from burners to ensure optimal combustion and reliable ignition.
2. Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check for leaks and ensure all connections are tight for safe operation.
3. Keep Air Intake & Exhaust Vents Clear – Ensure proper airflow by removing blockages to avoid overheating.
4. Maintain Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger – Clean the heat exchanger periodically for better heat transfer and longevity.
5. Check Separated Combustion System – Ensure air intake and exhaust are unobstructed and properly sealed for safe operation.
6. Test Direct Spark Ignition – Regularly verify that the ignition system works properly for smooth and efficient startup.
7. Monitor Thermostat Accuracy – Ensure the thermostat is calibrated for consistent and efficient temperature regulation.
8. Annual Professional Inspection – Schedule a yearly checkup to maintain safety, performance, and optimal heating efficiency.
