Heater Component Function

Bearings
Components used to support the shaft and reduce friction
between the pulleys and motor.
Belt
Friction drive component used for transmission of power
from motor to fan shaft. Used in conjunction with motor
and fan pulleys.
Oil Filter
The purpose of the filter is to trap very small particles
which may be present in the fuel system. The high degree
of filtering is necessary to prevent foreign materials from
entering the burner nozzle.
Fan
Component used in conjunction with the motor and fan
housing to move air.
Cad Cell
A light sensitive resistor. Used to sense the presence of
light in the combustion chamber, allowing the heater to
continue its operation.
Heat Exchanger
A sealed chamber used to transfer heat from the burner on
one side to cool air on the other side, thereby preheating
the cooler air.
Fuel Pump
Connected to the motor shaft by a coupling, the pump
pulls fuel from the tank and forces it to the nozzle under
pressure for ignition when the fan motor is in operation.
Relay
An electrical device, typically incorporating an electromag-
net, that is activated by a current or signal in one circuit to
open or close another circuit.
High Limit Switch
Safety device wired into the control system which is used
to break an electrical circuit to the to the burner in the
event of overheat situation.
Igniter
Ignition device used on automatic direct spark ignition
control systems. Ignites the fuel by spark.
Burner Controller
Electronic circuit board that operates the burner. It will
safely shut the heater down if burner flame goes out.

Ignition Transformer
An electrical component used to take incoming
line voltage and increase it to create high volt-
age that causes spark between the ignitor and
earth grounded surface.
Motor
Electric device used for air movement. Converts
electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Nozzle
A brass metering device use to sprays the fuel
under pressure from the pump.
Pulleys
Grooved friction drive components responsible
for transmission of power from motor to fan
shaft. Used in conjunction with V-Belt.
Selector Switch
Electrical device which is used to allow the end
user to use the heater in either a heating or
ventilation application.
Oil Solenoid Valve
Houses an electromagnet that when energized,
opens and allows fuel passage to the burner
nozzle.
Status Lights
Used to identify if the heater is receiving its
power supply and if certain electrical safety
components are functioning properly.
Thermostat
Electrical device used as an automatic "on/
off" switch which will respond to changes in
temperature.
