I removed the "E" baffle to test and see if it was restricting airflow and i do notice a change in flame intensity and i can tell its getting more air, but its still yellow-ish. the home it came from didnt have extension kits either. it looks like it would sit on that notched seat on the 3 center supports.Īlso the "E" baffle was installed on the air intake location of the flue pipe, but its a standard installation, not an installation with extension kits. That taper in the center of the ring, does it face upwards towards the heater exchange or down towards the ignitor? There's also another metal ring in there that i'm guessing also directs airflow somehow. Here's a generic photo of the center chamber piece. I"m not sure which was it sits, if the taper faces up or down. There's a taper in the metal ring that's attached to the burn tube in the center of the burn pot. If the fuel and air don't mix right i can see it not burning properly. I made sure to install it as i removed it, but i'm still curious. I'm curious if the center insert goes in a certain way? i'm wondering if it was put in upside down somehow. I know this model doesn't use a burn mat, and i've had the burn chamber apart, but not removed, to clean it as best as i could. It was stored in 2 55 gallon steel drums and was sold to me with the heater when i bought a few weeks back.
The smell of the fuel doesn't smell the same as the 5 gallon container of clear K-1 that i have for another indoor kerosun omni 105 heater. The fuel is a few years old and yellowish in color. The exhaust is clear with zero smoke, but it does stink. The edges of the flame where the air holes are in the burner pot are blue though. I noticed the flame is yellow in color regardless of blower/burner setting. That was a few days ago and there has been no soot buildup yet and its been cycling on and off for a few days now keeping the house warm. i also cleaned the rear exhaust port/pipe and the flue pipe out before install.
The flame window was all covered in soot, so i removed the cover over the burn chamber and cleaned it and the chamber. The heater seems to function normally as far as i can tell, however i've noticed a few issues. I'm Dave and I just installed a second hand Kerosun Monitor 30 heater in my house last week.
