SBD 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 d

SBD 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.
