The Braemar TH4 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 is an essential component used in gas ducted heaters, particularly those in the Braemar TH4 Star series. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of what this ignition unit is, its purpose, and how it functions in the heating system:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is designed to provide electronic ignition for gas-fired heating systems, specifically for models like the Braemar TH4 Star Gas Ducted Heater. The ignition unit generates a high-voltage spark that ignites the gas inside the heater’s burner, enabling the system to provide heat effectively and safely.
Ignition Control:
The unit is responsible for controlling the spark that ignites the gas. It initiates the ignition sequence once the system detects the need for heat. The high-voltage spark is necessary to ignite the gas burner, allowing the heater to begin its operation.
Compatibility:
Designed specifically for the Braemar TH4 Star Gas Ducted Heaters, the Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit may also work with other compatible gas ducted heating systems using similar technology.
Part Number 628608 is associated with the unit, which likely refers to the model or replacement part for Braemar TH4 Star heaters.
Safety Features:
The ignition unit includes safety mechanisms to ensure safe operation. If the ignition fails or the flame is not detected, the system automatically shuts off the gas supply to prevent dangerous gas buildup.
The unit also helps monitor the flame to ensure it remains stable and consistent during the heating cycle.
Electronic Ignition:
The ignition unit uses electronic ignition, meaning there’s no need for a constantly burning pilot light. This improves energy efficiency, as the spark is only generated when necessary, unlike older systems that use a permanent pilot light.
Reliability and efficiency are enhanced through this electronic ignition system.
Compact and Robust Design:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit is built to be compact, allowing it to fit within the gas ducted heating system without taking up too much space.
The unit is also designed to be durable, able to withstand the high-temperature environment inside the heater system while maintaining its functionality.
Signal Processing: The unit receives a signal from the thermostat indicating that heating is required.
Gas Valve Control: It opens the gas valve to allow gas to flow to the burner.
Spark Generation: The unit produces a high-voltage spark to ignite the gas. The spark is precisely timed to ensure the gas ignites safely.
Flame Detection: Once the burner ignites, the ignition unit monitors the flame. If the flame fails to ignite or goes out, it will shut off the gas flow to prevent any unsafe conditions.
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is primarily used in Braemar TH4 Star Gas Ducted Heaters, which are designed to provide efficient and effective heating for homes and commercial spaces. These heaters work by circulating warm air through ducts, offering a reliable way to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
If the Braemar TH4 Star heater fails to ignite or experiences inconsistent heating, the Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit may be at fault. Common issues related to ignition units include:
No Spark: If the ignition unit fails to generate a spark, the heater will not ignite.
Flame Detection Failure: If the system does not detect the flame or the flame goes out, the gas supply will be cut off to prevent unburnt gas from accumulating.
Gas Flow Problems: If the gas valve is not properly controlled by the ignition unit, the heater will not ignite or operate as intended.
If you're experiencing issues like failure to ignite, flame detection problems, or gas flow issues, replacing the Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit may be necessary. Here's a general guide for replacing the unit:
Turn off the power to the heater and ensure the gas supply is turned off to avoid accidents.
Locate the ignition unit inside the heater, which is typically near the gas valve and the burner assembly.
Disconnect the electrical wiring and any connections to the old unit, noting the configuration of the wiring for the new installation.
Remove the faulty ignition unit and install the new Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit in its place.
Reconnect the wiring and ensure everything is securely connected.
Test the system to make sure the heater ignites properly and operates safely.
The Braemar TH4 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 is essential for the reliable and safe operation of gas ducted heaters. It provides the spark needed to ignite the gas, ensuring the system can efficiently heat your space. If you're experiencing ignition or heating issues, replacing this unit is often the solution.
