Description  

 
The CAMFIRE  Heater, Model CV125CG MOD D, is a portable, clean-air space heater which relies on an 
external input of 120 volts, 60 Hz, single phase power.  
 
The heart of the heater is a heat exchanger which is supplied with air from a fan driven by

 

a 1/4 horse power 

motor. Part of the

 

air from the fan enters the combustion chamber where it mixes with the atomized fuel to 

become a combustible mixture. The exhaust gases circulate within the heat exchanger, warming its inner 
surfaces, then escape from the heater through a flue pipe adapted to the top of the heater.  
 
The remaining air from the fan passes over and around the combustion chamber and through the heat exchanger 
where it is heated, and emerges from the heater as a powerful stream of heated clean air.  
 
The fuel system consists of an air pump mounted on one end of the motor shaft which forces air through the 
nozzle. A fan is mounted at the other end of the shaft. The moving air in the nozzle lifts the fuel from the tank by 
siphon action and carries it into the combustion chamber.  
 
Filters protect the fuel system at the filler neck and prior to the fuel entering into the spray nozzle.  
The electrical control system is protected by a push button type circuit breaker.   
 
A Safety Control Unit, connected to a Photoelectric Cell, shuts down the heater if a flame is not detected in the 
combustion chamber after start up. A ”Duct Over-Heat” switch is installed as a safety measure. In the event that 
the outlet duct becomes blocked, the switch will shut the heater down. 
 
An optional thermostat accessory, which plugs into the electrical system of the heater, may be set to any desired 
temperature. When the temperature of the surrounding air reaches the pre-set  
temperature, the thermostat contacts open and cause the heater to shut down. When the air  
cools, the thermostat contacts close and the heater recycles. 
 
The heater is designed for hard use in rough environments resulting in a minimum of down time 
for repair and maintenance.
