Propane Supply; Installation - Desa TC106 Manual Del Propietário

PROPANE SuPPLy

You must provide propane gas and propane
tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5
of the Standard for Storage and Handling
of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58
and/or CAN/CGA B149.2. Your local library or
fire department will have this booklet.
This heater will operate with a 20 pound (9.07
kg) propane tank. However, you can only
operate it in the LOW position during mildly
cool weather for a very short time. At higher
heat settings or during colder weather, you
must use larger tanks.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from
propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this
amount.
1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the minimum number
of 100 pound (45 kg) tanks needed to run
the heater. Connect tanks together with a
manifold.
Average Temperature
At Tank Location
(80,000 btu models)
20° F (-6.7° C) to 60° F (15.6° C)
0° F (-17.8° C) to 20° F (-6.7° C)

20° F (-6.7° C) to 60° F (15.6° C)
0° F (-17.8° C) to 20° F (-6.7° C)
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures.
Your local propane gas dealer will help you
select the proper supply system.
