The Braemar THD3 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 is an important component in gas ducted heaters, specifically used in the Braemar THD3 Star series. Here's a detailed description of the unit and its role:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is designed for gas ducted heating systems, particularly in the Braemar THD3 Star models. This unit is responsible for providing safe and reliable ignition for the gas burners in the heater, enabling it to produce heat effectively and safely.
Ignition Control:
The ignition unit controls the spark necessary to ignite the gas burner. Once the gas flow is detected, the ignition system sends a high-voltage spark to the burner, allowing it to ignite and start the heating process.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Braemar THD3 Star Gas Ducted Heaters, though it may be compatible with other similar heating systems.
Part Number 628608 is likely a specific reference number used by Braemar for the replacement unit, ensuring compatibility with their systems.
Safety Mechanisms:
The ignition unit includes safety features that monitor the ignition process. If the ignition fails, the system automatically shuts off the gas supply to prevent unburnt gas from accumulating, which could be dangerous.
Flame detection: The unit also monitors the burner flame to ensure it ignites and burns consistently, providing safe operation.
Electronic Ignition:
This unit uses an electronic ignition system, which eliminates the need for a constantly burning pilot light. This makes it more energy-efficient and reliable compared to older systems.
It generates a high-voltage spark that ensures a reliable ignition sequence.
Durable and Compact Design:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit is typically designed to be compact and robust, withstanding the high temperatures and environmental conditions in a gas-fired heating system.
It can be easily integrated into the existing heater system for replacement or repair.
The ignition unit works by first receiving a signal from the thermostat, indicating that heat is required.
It then activates the gas valve to allow gas flow and generates a spark to ignite the gas.
Once the burner is lit, the ignition unit ensures that the flame remains steady, and it also monitors the flame throughout the heating cycle.
Safety shutdown: If the system detects that ignition has failed or the flame goes out, the gas supply is turned off, preventing the heater from continuing to run with unburnt gas.
This ignition unit is primarily used in Braemar THD3 Star Gas Ducted Heaters. These heaters are commonly used in residential and commercial settings to efficiently heat indoor spaces by circulating warm air through ducts.
If you’re experiencing issues such as no ignition, intermittent flame, or inconsistent heating, the ignition unit might be malfunctioning. Some common issues include:
No spark generation: If the unit fails to create a spark, the heater won’t ignite.
Flame detection failure: If the system can't detect the flame, it may shut off the gas supply, even if the heater ignites initially.
Gas flow issues: If the gas valve or ignition unit isn’t working properly, the system may not be able to initiate ignition.
In these cases, replacing the Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit will often resolve the issue and restore functionality to your heater.
Safety first: Always ensure the heater is powered off and that the gas supply is turned off before replacing the ignition unit.
Locate the ignition unit: The unit will be connected to the gas valve, the spark electrode, and the flame detection sensor. Remove any covers or panels to access the unit.
Disconnect the wiring: Carefully disconnect the electrical wires from the old unit, noting their configuration for proper installation of the new unit.
Remove the old ignition unit: Remove the faulty ignition unit and replace it with the new one.
Reconnect wiring: Attach the wiring to the new unit, following the instructions in the heater’s manual.
Test the system: Once installed, test the heater to ensure it ignites properly and that the system is functioning safely.
The Braemar THD3 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 plays a crucial role in the ignition and safe operation of gas ducted heating systems. If your system is having trouble igniting or experiencing other ignition-related issues, replacing this unit could resolve the problem and restore comfort to your home.
