Ventilating the Work Area
A permanent fresh air supply or natural air
ventilation is required for the unit. In general, one
square inch is required for each 4,000 BTU/H up
to 400,000 BTU/H, plus one square inch for each
10,000 BTU/H in excess of 400,000 BTU/H.
Based on these standards, the makeup air
required for the unit is approximately 102 square
inches (660 cm
2
). However, local requirements
may differ. Check local regulations to determine
the exact makeup air requirements. Follow local
codes at all times.
WARNING
The room housing the unit
must be provided with
adequate makeup air to
ensure operator safety as
well as the proper operation
of the ironing section and
other fuel-burning equipment
in the area.
Electrical Connection
The nameplate, located at the back of the right
end frame, shows the electrical requirements of
the unit (Figure 2-11). All labor and materials
required to bring the electrical service to the unit
are a local responsibility. All electrical wiring must
comply with local codes, and a qualified electrician
should size the wiring.
CAUTION
The incoming electric power
service must match the
specific electrical
requirements shown
on the nameplate.
Refer to the nameplate to determine the power
supply requirements. If high or low voltage is
suspected, check the electrical service to
determine the actual voltage conditions. Improper
or fluctuating voltage will cause the safety
systems to interrupt the burner system operation,
possibly damage motors and other electrical
system components, and void the factory
warranty.
NOTE: A fused, main
disconnect switch has been
incorporated into the main
electrical box. Check local
regulations to determine whether
a separate external fused
disconnect switch is still required.
Follow local codes at all times.
