Vertical Convection HeatersOwner’s Manual • Workman & Norseman27BARREL w/ TOP (CASE)Upright sheet metal case component. Acts as achimney to distribute heat to surrounding area.BASESheet metal case platform used to support andstabilize burner and barrel assemblies.BURNERComponent at which combustion of fuel gasestakes place.BURNER ORIFICEMetering device used to feed gas to burner at aspecific rate, with the appropriate pressure.ELECTRODEIgnites gas by spark. Receives spark voltage frompiezo igniter.GAS HOSEFlexible connector used to convey gas from supplyline or cylinder to heater.PIEZO IGNITERGenerates ignition voltage when igniter button ispushed. This voltage is sent to electrode to providespark.PILOT LIGHT ORIFICEA metering device used to supply gas for the dualpurpose of igniting the main burner and heating thethermocouple.PILOT TUBEFormed copper tube used to convey gas from thesafety control valve to the pilot light orifice.REGULATORThe heart of any gas supply installation. Used todeliver a working pressure to the appliance undervarying conditions in tank pressure.SAFETY CONTROL VALVEA gas control valve which is held open by electricalpower supplied by the thermocouple and whichcloses automatically to shut off the flow of gas tothe main burner when flame is extinguished or istoo small to heat the thermocouple.Heater Component FunctionTHERMOCOUPLEA thermoelectric device that converts heat di-rectly into electrical energy. Works in conjunctionwith electromagnet in gas control valve therebyassisting in maintaining gas supply for the pilotlight.VARIABLE RATE VALVEA manually adjsuted valve that allows the user tooperate the heater from its lowest to highest heatoutput, or anywhere in-between.
