BTR TANK TYPE HEATERS SERVICE HANDBOOK INSUFFICIENT MAKE-UP AIR BACKDRAFT Insufficient make-up air is a major cause of combustion problems. One common example is in a restaurant installation where exhaust vent equipment was not considered in sizing make-up air requirements. This may result in air being backdrafted by the restaurant exhaust equipment through the heater causing flue gas spillage, flame roll out, improper combustion, inconsistent pilot operation, and/or erratic heater shut down. A.

BTR TANK TYPE HEATERS SERVICE HANDBOOK CONTAMINATED AIR Along with adequate make-up air, the quality of the air is important. Contaminants in combustion air can lead to premature heater failure. Vapors from bleaches, soaps, waxes, salts, etc. are drawn into the combustion chamber with the make-up air and, once fired, mix with water vapor in the gases to form extremely corrosive hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid and other corrosive byproducts.

BTR TANK TYPE HEATERS SERVICE HANDBOOK BTR GAS VALVE The gas valves used on all BTR water heaters are 24 volt AC combination step opening gas valves. They incorporate the pilot valve, main valve, and gas pressure regulators into one body. The inlet view of the valve features a filter screen and the top knob. The top knob is a manual on/off gas control for both the pilot and main gas valves. When the top knob is placed on the black mark, gas is supplied only to the pilot valve. On the top view, w

BTR TANK TYPE HEATERS SERVICE HANDBOOK VENTING Atmospheric Multiple Heaters Chimney A minimum of ¼” rise per foot of horizontal vent is required. All BTR water heaters are classified by ANSI as category I (non-condensing, negative pressure venting) appliances. They are approved for type B vent. For larger applications, BTR water heaters can be common vented together either in a tapered manifold or constant size manifold. (Follow National Fuel Gas Code requirements for sizing and installation.) B
