Sequence of Operation
The Indirect-fired heater is most easily understood when broken down into smaller individual systems.
There are two main systems, a make-up air fan and a heater. The make-up air fan consists of a heavy-
duty blower and motor. The heater may be further broken down into two control systems, the Flame
Safety Control (FSC) and the Modulating Gas System (MGS). The burner mixes air with the gas (Natural
or Propane) which heats a heat exchanger which heats the air.
Modulating Gas System
The first system, the Maxitrol modulating gas system, consists of a
temperature selector dial, a discharge air sensor, an amplifier, and a modulating
gas valve. The two types of Maxitrol systems found on these units are the
Maxitrol 20/30 and the Maxitrol 21/31. The 20 and 21 series are for single
furnace arrangement and the 30 and 31 series are for multiple furnace
arrangement. The Maxitrol 21/31 utilizes a discharge air sensor and modulates
the discharge air to the selected temperature on the temperature selector dial.
The Maxitrol 20/30 utilizes a room temperature sensor/selector in order to
control the room temperature. The modulating gas valve controls the amount of gas to the burner based
on the temperature rise needed. When the modulating gas valve is all the way open and achieving the
maximum BTUs and temperature rise of the unit, it is called “high fire”.
