The Braemar THM5 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 is a key component used in gas ducted heating systems, specifically for the Braemar THM5 Star series. This unit is responsible for providing the electronic ignition needed to start the heating process by igniting the gas burner in the heater.
Ignition Control:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 unit provides electronic ignition, which generates a high-voltage spark to ignite the gas that is released into the burner. This ignition process is critical for the heater to generate heat and begin circulating warm air throughout the space.
Part Number:
PN. 628608 is the part number associated with this specific ignition unit, referring to the replacement or model number used in Braemar THM5 Star gas ducted heaters.
Electronic Ignition:
This system uses electronic ignition rather than a pilot light, making it more energy-efficient and reliable. The spark is only generated when the heater needs to ignite, eliminating the need for a constantly burning pilot light, which reduces energy consumption.
Flame Detection:
The ignition unit not only generates the spark for ignition but also includes flame detection capabilities. After the ignition process, the unit monitors the flame to ensure it remains stable. If the flame goes out or fails to ignite, the unit shuts off the gas supply to prevent dangerous situations like unburnt gas accumulation.
Safety Features:
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 ignition unit is designed with several safety features. These include:
Flame failure protection: If the flame fails to ignite or is extinguished prematurely, the gas supply is automatically turned off.
Overheating protection: The unit ensures the heater operates within safe temperature limits to avoid overheating.
Durability:
The unit is built to be compact yet robust, capable of withstanding the high heat and environmental conditions inside a gas-fired heating system.
It is designed for long-term reliability, providing consistent performance over time.
Signal from Thermostat:
The system receives a signal from the thermostat, indicating that heating is required.
Gas Flow:
Once the signal is received, the ignition unit opens the gas valve, allowing gas to flow to the burner.
Spark Generation:
The ignition unit generates a high-voltage spark to ignite the gas, initiating the combustion process.
Flame Monitoring:
The ignition unit ensures the flame stays ignited. If the unit does not detect the flame, it shuts off the gas to prevent unburnt gas from accumulating, ensuring safety.
Ongoing Monitoring:
During operation, the ignition unit continues to monitor the flame to ensure that the burner is operating efficiently and safely.
The Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is used primarily in Braemar THM5 Star Gas Ducted Heaters. These heaters are commonly used for residential and commercial heating, providing efficient air circulation and consistent warmth through ducts.
The ignition unit ensures the heater operates effectively, providing heat when needed, and maintaining safety by preventing potential hazards like gas leaks or combustion failures.
Some common issues you might encounter if the Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit is malfunctioning include:
Failure to Ignite: If the ignition unit is not producing a spark, the heater will fail to ignite.
Flame Detection Failure: If the unit does not detect the flame after ignition, it may shut off the gas supply, preventing proper heating.
Intermittent Heating: A faulty ignition unit can cause inconsistent heating, with the heater turning on and off unexpectedly.
If your Braemar THM5 Star heater is experiencing ignition issues, replacing the Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit may resolve the problem. Here's how to replace it:
Turn off the power to the heater and ensure that the gas supply is turned off to ensure safety during the replacement process.
Locate the ignition unit inside the heater, typically near the burner assembly and gas valve.
Disconnect the wiring from the old unit, taking care to note the wiring configuration so that you can properly connect the new unit.
Remove the faulty ignition unit and install the new Fenwal 35-615300-113 Ignition Unit.
Reconnect the wiring and ensure everything is securely in place.
Test the system: Turn the heater on to ensure it ignites properly and is functioning safely.
The Braemar THM5 Star Ignition Unit Fenwal 35-615300-113 plays a critical role in ensuring the proper and safe operation of your gas ducted heater. It provides the necessary spark to ignite the gas and includes important safety features to protect against gas buildup or ignition failure. If you're encountering ignition-related problems, replacing this unit should restore normal operation.
