RHC21 8000 air heaters will operate with a
minimum of maintenance. To ensure long life
and satisfactory and safe performance, an air
heater that is operated under normal conditions
should be inspected and cleaned at the start of
each heating season. If the air heater is operated
in an area where unusual amounts of dust, etc.
are present in the air, more frequent servicing is
recommended.
When any service is completed, be sure that
components are reassembled correctly to ensure
that no unsafe condition exists.
Upon completion of the service carry out the
commissioning instructions outlined in section 5
of this document.
Excessive dirt build up on the inside
of the burner ports could cause
unburned gas to spill out of the
back of the burner tube causing a
fire or explosion. To prevent this
occurring, clean all of the burner
ports at least annually.
When cleaning air heaters, wearing
of eye protection and a dust face
mask is recommended.
