Mr. Heater | Gas-Fired Low-Intensity Infrared Heater

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read this manual carefully before installing or servicing this
equipment. Improper installation, servicing or maintenance will
cause death, injury or property damage. Check the minimum
required safe distances from combustibles given on the outside
of each burner to make sure that the product is suitable for your
application. The minimum required safe distances from combustibles
is also found on page 9 of this manual. Installer must be a licensed
contractor of representative. After the installation is complete, check
product operation as provided in these instructions.

Unpacking the Heater

Manpower Requirements

To prevent personal injury and damage to the heater, two persons
will be required to remove the heater from the carton. Both ends of
the heater should be lifted from the carton at the same time. The
burner box should be lifted by gripping the bottom of the box. The
reflector end of the heater should be lifted using the rear moveable
hanger.

Safety

Thin sheet metal parts, such as the reflector portion of the heater
and the various venting components, have sharp edges. To prevent
injury, the use of work gloves is recommended. The use of gloves
will also prevent the transfer of body oils from the hands to the
surface of the reflector.

Section 1 INTRODUCTION

About The Heater

The MHT 45 is a factory-assembled, gas fired, low-intensity heating
system. The system has been designed for easy installation and will
provide years of economical operation and trouble-free service. Not
only is infrared heat efficient, it also provides the most comfortable
conditions in open areas, such as garages.

Gas-Fired means it uses clean-burning Natural or LP gas.

Low-Intensity means that the radiant surface of the heat exchanger
tube does not glow red. Instead, it operates at a lower temperature
(less than 1000 F) and radiates energy at a lower intensity per square
foot of radiating surface. The lower temperature and intensity
levels are within a range that is most effective in establishing and
maintaining personal comfort levels. An aluminum reflector directs
the radiant energy downward to the occupied area.

Radiant refers to the energy radiated by the tube heater. Because
the energy is in the form of infrared rays, it does not directly heat the
air. Instead, the rays heat objects such as the floor, cars, machines
and people. The warm objects, in turn, heat the air. These combined
features are the key to the exceptional comfort and fuel efficiency
provided by the tube heater.

wall you should find parallel isothermal rows indicating the location of heat tubes below the surface.
Perpendicular to the outside wall, you should find rising and falling temperatures at equal distances. High
temperatures indicate you are scanning a heat tube beneath the floor surface, low falling temperatures
indicate a space between the heat tubes.

To locate radiant heat tubes in floor, temporarily elevate the loop temperature to create hotter spots
for identifying tubing runs.

4.

Before releasing trigger, press

A

to toggle between MIN, MAX, DIF floor temperatures and record

the temperatures for future comparison and trending under similar conditions.

Testing Radiant Heat Applications

1.

Operate radiant heat loop until steady state conditions are achieved.

2.

Attach the thermocouple to supply of radiant loop.

3.

Record the supply temperature.

4.

Attach thermocouple to return of radiant loop.

5.

Record the return temperature.

6.

Difference is Delta-T (temperature difference).

7.

Repeat for each loop to zone and balance for equal Delta-T’s.

Testing Water Heater Insulation

1.

Connect thermocouple probe to obtain ambient temperature near water heater.

5.

Scan the water heater jacket.

to read MAX and DIF jacket temperatures. Record your readings.

The closer the jacket temperature is to ambient temperature, the less jacket losses there are.

Standby losses account for a majority of the water heater energy expenses. Increase water
heater insulation to reduce standby losses.

Standby losses are losses when water is not being re-heated by the burners or the elements.
When the water heater is idle (standing by) and no water is being drawn, heat loss through the
jacket (and flue on oil/gas systems) are waste heat losses that can be reduced by increasing
insulation and/or lowering the temperature setting.

Testing Steam Traps

Steam traps open on low temperature to allow steam flow to trap. Steam traps close at steam temperatures
to stop steam flow. As steam temperature drops, traps open to allow more steam flow and to return
(“drain”) condensate.

Heat For Less Heater

If temperature is low in steam pipe, low in trap and low in condensate return, trap may be stuck
closed. If temperature is high in steam pipe, high in trap, and high in condensate return, trap may be
stuck open.

If temperature is high in steam pipe, high in trap, and slightly lower in condensate return, trap is
probably operating properly.
