Installation

The XRV 100 is designed with a fume exhaust system, a owing it to be ducted to the

outside using suitab e 410mm/5½ducting (not supp ied).

When the heater is insta ed in a c osed environment, with fume venting to the

outside through a duct, an externa air de ivery of approx. 80 m³/h must be assured

for good combustion.

If the heater is insta ed in a c osed environment and fumes are not vented through

a duct, good venti ation of the environment

MUST

be assured.

To obtain a draught of at east 0.1mbar in the f ue, the f ue

MUST

rise vertica y for

3m minimum before adding any bends etc.

See Fig. 2 for examp es of how and how not to duct the heater.

For the heater to operate efficient y, adequate venti ation, providing a supp y of

fresh air of at east 260 m²/kw, is necessary.

When using the heater, the safety regu ations in force at the time

must

be adhered

to. In particu ar, the safety distances from f ammab e materia s shoud be taken into

consideration.

Sides and Flue: 0.60m Air intake End: 0.60m

Top: 1.50m Air Outlet End: 3.00m

IMPORTANT

Before installing fume extraction system, always check with local building and

fire authorities to ensure local regulations are adhered to.

renewed.

General.

It shou d be noted that shou d the heater be used with Diese oi , the interva

between servicing wi be ess, due to the fact that Diese does not burn as c ean y

as paraffin, and some sooting up wi therefore occur.

It is recommended, that paraffin be used wherever possib e

Storage.

Drain a fue from tank before storing.

1. Drain the fue tank comp ete y and add approximate y one ga on of c ean

paraffin. Attach the fue cap and rock the heater backwards and forwards

to circu ate the fue . Remove fue cap or drain p ug and drain tank comp ete y

2. Rep ace fue cap or drain p ug and proper y dispose of the o d and dirty fue .

3. Store the heater in a dry ocation free from corrosive fumes and dust.

Operation

Understanding the basic operation of the heater, wi reinforce the need to

maintain the unit in top condition at a times, whi st

always

observing the safety

precautions.

The heater comprises four basic systems:

1. The fue system. 3. The ignition system.

2. The air system. 4. The safety contro system.

1. The Fuel System

Fue is he d in the tank at the base of the system, at atmospheric pressure. An air pump,

mounted on the end of the motor, draws air through a fiter, compresses it, and forces it

through a second fi ter, and via an air ine, directy to the burner head nozze. The speed of

the air over the nozz e, causes a depression. Fue is therefore forced up the tube by

atmospheric pressure, through a fiter, and out of the nozze in the form of a spray.

It is important to ensure that the vent in the fi er cap is not bocked at any time, otherwise

fue wi not reach the nozze.

This heater is capable of burning Paraffin or iesel oil. NEVER use petrol.

Fig.3

. The Air System

Additiona air is supp ied to the combustion chamber by a fan, which is mounted on

the opposite end of the motor shaft to the Air Pump. Openings around the burner

head a ow a portion of this air to be drawn into the combustion chamber, where it

mixes with the air and fue from the nozz e, and ensures that a the fue is burned,

preventing the emission of b ack smoke. The remaining air is directed around and over

Bi-Monthly.

Fan.

Having removed the top cover, thorough y c ean the fan using a c oth moistened

with paraffin or ight so vent, and dry using an air ine if possib e.

Output Air Filter.

Remove the gri e, and pu off the Intake Air Fi ter, revea ing the 3 screws securing

the fi ter housing. Remove the screws and pu off the housing to revea the Output

Air Fi ter. If contaminated, this fi ter must be renewed.

In dirty environments this procedure shou d be carried out month y.

Nozzle.

Having removed the top cover, gent y unscrew and remove the burner head,

and unscrew the nozz e. C ean, using compressed air and a soft brush, if

necessary. DO NOT prod or poke the nozz e in any way, with a meta too .

Following a period of Storage.

Fig. 6

Pump Pressure.

Before putting the heater back into

service, fo owing a period of storage, you

shou d carry out a checks previous y

specified. In addition, you shou d test and

adjust if necessary, the Air Pump Pressure,

as fo ows:

Near the centre of the Gri e, is a cutout to

accommodate the Air Pump Pressure

Re ief Va ve, and a p ug (Fig. 6) for insta ing

a Pressure Gauge.

Remove the p ug, and insta a gauge with

a reso ution of at east 0.02 bar (0.3psi). Start the heater, and observe the pressure

reading, which shou d be as fo ows:

To adjust the pressure Loosen the pressure re ief va ve adjuster nut whi st ho ding

the va ve adjuster using a suitab e f at b aded screwdriver. Turn the adjuster

c ockwise to increase pressure, and antic ockwise to decrease. Tighten the

securing nut when the correct pressure is reached, ensuring the adjuster does not

turn in the process.

IMPORTANT:

he use of parts other than CLARKE replacement parts may result in safety hazards,

decreased tool performance and may invalidate your arranty.

the combustion chamber, unti it fina y mixes with the heated air from the combustion

chamber, and is ejected as a jet of cean hot air.

3. The Ignition System.

A constant arc is struck between the e ectrodes, which ignites the air and fue

mixture. It is important that the e ectrode gap is correct y maintained, otherwise

arcing wi not take p ace...see Maintenance.

4. The Safety Control System.

A ight sensitive photo ce (f ame sensor) trips the motor if the f ame goes out for

any reason, causing the heater to shut down.

Set the environment thermostat to maximum temperature.

Switch the heater ON by pressing the ON/Off switch, (I position).

Adjust the environment thermostat to the required temperature.

Maintenance

(Item Nos in brackets, ref to Parts List on page 12)

IMPORTANT

Before carrying out any adjustment or maintenance, ensure the heater is

switched OFF, disconnected from the mains supp y, and has been given

adequate time to coo down, un ess otherwise stated.

It is essentia that the heater is correct y maintained and kept in top condition at a

times.

Those items requiring regu ar maintenance comprise,

1. Intake Air Fi ter (Item 2)

2. Output Air Fi ter (Item 5)

3. Fan (Item 18)

4. Fue Nozz e (Item 24)

5. Ignition E ectrodes (Item 21)

6. Fue Fi ter (Integra part of item 27)

The Intake and Output Air Fi ters, are accessib e by removing the Gri e (by

removing the sing e phi ips head screw Fig. 8), whereas accessibi ity to the

remaining items requires the remova of the top cover (by removing the six screws

at the centre joint).

Monthly.

Ignition Electrodes.

Having removed the heaters

top cover, remove the sing e

screw retaining the e ectrode

ho der. Withdraw the ho der,

c ean and adjust the gap

between the e ectrodes, to

4mm.

When reinsta ing the e ectrode ho der, there must be a gap of 9mm between the

e ectrodes and the nozz e (see fig. 5). If this adjustment needs to be reset, it is

preferab e to remove the burner head comp ete, by removing the securing
