The Braemar TH5 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 is a vital component in the gas ducted heaters of the Braemar TH5 Star series. It is responsible for providing the electronic ignition necessary to ignite the gas burner in the heater, enabling the system to generate heat efficiently and safely. Here’s a detailed description of the unit:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is an electronic ignition control designed for use in gas ducted heating systems, particularly in Braemar TH5 Star Gas Ducted Heaters. It provides the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the gas in the burner, allowing the heater to produce heat for indoor spaces.
Ignition Control:
The primary function of the ignition unit is to control the spark required to ignite the gas in the burner.
It generates a high-voltage spark at the right moment in the ignition sequence, ensuring that the gas ignites reliably and safely.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for the Braemar TH5 Star Gas Ducted Heaters, but it may also be compatible with other models or similar heating systems that use a similar ignition mechanism.
The Part Number 628608 is typically associated with the specific model or replacement version of the ignition unit for the Braemar TH5 Star heaters.
Safety Features:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit is equipped with safety mechanisms that monitor the ignition process.
If the ignition fails or the flame is not detected, the system will automatically shut off the gas supply to prevent unburnt gas from accumulating, ensuring the safe operation of the heater.
The unit also has flame detection features that ensure the flame stays lit once the ignition sequence begins.
Electronic Ignition:
The ignition system used by the Fenwal 35-615300-113 unit is electronic, meaning it does not rely on a constantly burning pilot light. Instead, it uses a high-voltage spark to ignite the gas only when needed.
This electronic ignition system enhances energy efficiency by only consuming power when the heater is igniting and running, unlike older systems with a permanent pilot light.
Compact and Durable Design:
The unit is designed to be compact, allowing it to fit within the space constraints of the heater while being easily replaceable.
It is also built to be durable, able to handle the high temperatures and environmental conditions inside a gas-fired heating system.
Signal from Thermostat: The ignition unit receives a signal from the thermostat indicating that the heater needs to start heating.
Gas Valve Control: The ignition unit opens the gas valve, allowing gas to flow into the burner.
Spark Generation: The unit generates a high-voltage spark to ignite the gas once it reaches the burner.
Flame Detection: After ignition, the unit monitors the flame to ensure it remains stable. If the flame fails to ignite or goes out, the gas supply is cut off for safety.
Ongoing Monitoring: The ignition unit continues to monitor the flame throughout the heating cycle, ensuring that everything operates safely and efficiently.
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is primarily used in Braemar TH5 Star Gas Ducted Heaters. These heaters are typically found in both residential and commercial heating applications, where they efficiently distribute warm air throughout a space. The ignition unit plays a critical role in starting and maintaining the combustion process that generates heat.
If the Braemar TH5 Star heater is not igniting or exhibiting inconsistent heating, the Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit may be faulty. Common issues include:
Failure to ignite: If the ignition unit is not generating a spark or the spark is too weak, the heater will not light.
Flame detection failure: If the unit cannot detect the flame, the gas supply will be shut off to prevent unburnt gas from accumulating.
Intermittent flame: A malfunctioning ignition unit can cause the flame to go out during operation, leading to inconsistent heating.
If you're experiencing issues with your Braemar TH5 Star Gas Ducted Heater, replacing the Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit may be necessary. Here’s how you can replace the unit:
Turn off the power to the heater and ensure the gas supply is turned off for safety.
Locate the ignition unit inside the heater, usually near the burner and gas valve assembly.
Disconnect any electrical connections from the old unit, ensuring you note the wiring configuration for reinstallation.
Remove the old ignition unit and install the new Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit in its place.
Reconnect the wiring to the new unit, following the correct configuration.
Test the system to ensure the heater ignites properly and operates safely.
The Braemar TH5 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 is an integral part of your gas ducted heating system, responsible for igniting the gas and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the heater. If you're having issues with ignition or heating performance, replacing this unit could resolve the problem and restore normal function.
