5.8 Functions, Removal and Replacement of Combustion Chamber.
The combustion chamber of evaporative type is designed for air-fuel mixture
combustion.
Signs of CC malfunction are: failure of the heater to start (if all other heater elements
are in good condition), reduced heat output, burnout of the housing or internal parts of the
camera, flameout.
Inoperable CC needs to be replaced. Partially dismantle the heater and evaluate the
state of the CC for deformations, soot, burning, damage of structural elements.
When CC is replaced, is necessary to assess the condition of the heat exchanger. If,
during the assembly/disassembly any gaskets were damaged, they should be replaced.
