The Schwank Luminous Heaters cannot be installed inside degreas-

ing plants, nor can they be in an area where chlorine, fluorine or bro-

mine are present.

The Schwank Luminous Heaters are approved for

both horizontal and angle mounting. When angle

mounting, the short axis may be rotated in either

direction to a maximum of 300degrees

For either horizontal or angle mounting, the long axis of the heater

must be level. Use only non-combustible mounting hardware.

equipment so as to provide sufficient clearance

and accessibility for servicing and cleaning of

burners and ignition control.

with the venturi always in the upper position. Im-

proper angle mounting can result in damage to the

heater or unsafe operation.

2.2 INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL GARAGES

The Schwank Luminous Heaters are suitable for

use in commercial garages when installed in ac-

cordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 88B 1985 (latest

edition), which states clearances to combustible

construction or material in storage, from heater

and vent, must conform to standard NFPA No. 54

(ANSI Z223.1 latest edition), in

the U.S.A. and the CSA B149.1 in Canada.

“Overhead heaters shall be installed at least (8)

feet above the floor”. In addition, they shall be lo-

cated high enough to maintain the minimum dis-

tance to combustibles, as shown on the heater rat-

ing plate, between the heater and any vehicles

parked below the heater

The maximum supply pressure must be limited to

14" W.C. (0.51 psi). If the line pressure is above

14" W.C., then a separate pressure reducing regu-

lator must be used. The minimum pressure at the

inlet to the heater regulator must be equal to or

greater than 6.0" W.C. for natural gas

and 11.0" W.C. for propane gas.

A sealed regulator is supplied with the heater

which maintains the proper manifold pressure

when the main burner is operating under the fol-

lowing pressure:

2.7 GAS SUPPLY LINE INSTALLATION

A. All piping must be installed according to local

codes.

B. It is recommended to install an approved

flexible connector between the heater and gas

piping available as option from Schwank.

C. A drip-pocket at the inlet connection must be

provided.

D. On propane-fired units, a main line filter is

recommended.

E. Piping joint compounds must be resistant to

the action of liquefied petroleum gases.

F. All piping joints should be tested for leaks

with a soap and water solution.

Do not install any gas piping in heat zones. Do not subject heater con-

trols to leak test pressures when checking the main supply piping.

2.6 VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

In Canada it is required by law that an unvented

heater be electrically interlocked to an independ-

ent exhaust fan by means of an Air Proving

Switch. The exhaust fan must be sized to create 3

cfm for every 1000 Btu/hr or fraction thereof, of

total input of installed equipment. Consult CSA.

B149.1 latest edition for requirements.

In the USA when a heater is installed unvented

the system requires the exhausting of at least 4

cfm per 1000 Bth/hr on NG, and 4.5 cfm per 1000

Btu/hr for LP. By natural or mechanical means, or

electrically interlocked to an independant exhaust

fan, for the total input of all heaters installed. Ex-

haust openings for removing flue products shall

be above the level of the heaters.. Consult your

local codes and ANSI Z223.1 latest edition.

3. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

A. Properly install gas line as outlined in section

2.7, page 3.

B. Properly connect the ignition control assembly

to the heater.

C. Mount heaters by using non-combustible

mounting hardware as illustrated in Diagrams

2 on page 8. Observe the minimum clearances

as outlined in sections 9.3 to 9.6.

D. Connect heater to the main gas line. It is rec-

ommended to use a 1/2" flexible connector to

absorb gas line expansion and any

building vibration (available as option from

Schwank Inc.)

E. Mount thermostat at desired location, away

from direct infra-red rays of heater and not on

cold wall without sufficient insulation back-

ing. Install exhaust fan, air switch and trans-

former, as per section 2.6, page 3.

F. Check gas line for leakage by using soap test

or gas meter test. Ensure gas pressure meets

the requirements outlined in section 2.8, page

When testing the main gas line pressure, ensure the gas shut-off valve is

“OFF”, otherwise damage to the combination gas valve will result.

Under certain conditions, heater may discolour due to

ambient air borne particle deposits on the outside sur-

face. These deposits in no way affect the operation of

the heater nor the manufacturer’s warranties.

If heater back-fires during operation, then it must be turned off immediately.

Indication of back-firing:

A. Loud ignition noise, then followed by distinct

hissing sound.

B. Little or no visible burning on the ceramic

tile.

C. Combustion is taking place inside the burner

body.

Cause & remedy of back-firing:

A. Improper gas pressure entering the venturi

tube = check pressure.

B. Breakage of a ceramic tile and or gasketing =

replace damaged part.

C. Faulty sealing of the ceramic tile to the burner

body, caused by breakdown of gasketing ma-

terial = contact your Schwank distributor.

4. AIR BORNE PARTICLES

5. SERVICING GUIDE

Servicing of heater is essential for continued effi-

cient operation. Servicing should be carried out

annually by qualified service personnel.

A. Clean the ceramic tile with compressed air.

Avoid directing air stream at gasketing

material between tile and heater body. The

air pressure must be lower then 20 psi.

B. Clean the venturi tube with compressed air.

C. Clean the reflectors.

8.1 MAINTENANCE

The efficiency of the heater can be impaired if it gets

dirty. If the heaters are installed in areas where con-

siderable dust is present in the air, periodic burner

cleaning may be necessary. Dust may be entrained

in the primary air supply and deposited on the back

side of the ceramic. This can be very easily removed

by dusting the ceramic face and the air inlet with a

blast of low pressure air, a maximum of 20 psi.

Occasionally pilots or the main burner refuse to func-

tion properly after a summer shutdown. For the pilot,

this problem can be corrected by removing the pilot

burner and cleaning out the gas passageways. The

main burner passageways can be cleaned out by us-

ing a flexible brush comparable to the type used to

clean glass bottles. (In several instances, small co-

coons or spider webs have been found present in

these areas.) Preventative maintenance is the best

policy. Heaters should be cleaned once a heating

season.
