General description

General description
Purpose and field

The Dantherm portable, duct type, heater model VA-M40 MK II is designed primarily to

applications

supply un-contaminated, heated air to tents and other types of temporary or portable
shelters.
In addition, the heater is suitable for various field applications such as the warming up
of cold soaked equipment, engines, vehicles, aircraft, and other spot or space heating
requirements.

Principle

The heater operates on the indirect fired (clean air) principle thus ensuring that no combustion products or fumes are introduced into the occupied spaces. The forced air system provides the most rapid of warm-up capabilities. The units are essentially selfcontained requiring only a source of external electric power.

Performance char-

The heater has a maximum heat output of 38 kW with a minimum combustion efficiency

acteristics

of 85 %. The unit will start at temperatures as low as - 40 C, and is factory set for operation to an altitude of 1,500 m Operation at higher altitudes requires minor field adjustment of the oil burner. The protective cabinet allows operation in snow or rainy conditions.

Set up and opera-

Set up and operation can be done by a single person. After start up, the heater functions

tion

are automatic, thus permitting the item to be left unattended between periods of refueling. An optional remote thermostat may be connected to the heater for accurate temperature control within a tent or other enclosure type. The control system also includes
a "vent" only position, which can be used to bring in fresh air, or circulate interior air,
even when heating is not required. The item is designed to be suitable for all standard
transportation modes.

Replacement of

All critical sub-systems and component assemblies are replaceable as modular kits; this

parts

ensures a repair capability at Unit level. No special tools are required for module replacement.

straps, which are designed to be operated by personnel wearing protective gloves. Duct
connections are provided for two tents, both supply and return air, making the heater
suitable for either heating 100 % outside fresh air, or recirculating interior air. (Recirculation can significantly reduce fuel consumption).

Fresh air openings

On both sides of the unit are adjustable fresh air openings allowing a variable amount
of fresh air to be utilised, when recirculation ducts are mounted.

Flue outlet open-

The flue outlet opening can be closed by a cover, when not in use which is designed

ings

to be operated by personnel wearing protective gloves. The flue stack is fitted with
insulated handles for easy and safe fitting and dismantling. For transportation and storage purposes the flue stack is placed on brackets along the cabinet side.

Combustion sys-

This system consists of an oil burner , combustion chamber with heat exchanger ,

tem

and the flue stack .

The oil burner includes an electrically driven combustion air fan and a fuel pump, which
delivers diesel fuel to the nozzle where it is atomized. A certain mixture rate of combustion air and atomized fuel will create a sort of gas which gives high efficiency combustion without soot.
An electric transformer supplies high voltage for ignition across two electrodes upon
start up. When the flame is established the ignition ceases. The operation cycle is controlled by a solid-state electronic device. During start up a 15 second pre-purge is followed by the opening of the solenoid valve for oil atomizing and ignition. Safety shutdown will occur after five seconds if a flame is not detected via the photo cell unit.
The burner flame is confined within a combustion chamber and heat exchanger of

971145 Version 2.1 22.10.2012

sealed construction which prevents the combustion gases from escaping into the air circulation system. The flame can be inspected through a small glass window in the
warm air discharge compartment.
An insulated flue stack is extended to discharge the exhaust gases upwards approximately 2 m above ground.

heated space. In recirculation mode it is possible to run with up to 476 m3/h fresh air
by opening the round fresh air intake on the side of the unit.
Four air duct connections are provided, two on the supply discharge side and two on
the inlet/return airside .
The connectors are compatible with male spigots/connectors for 225 mm flexible ducts
which are fastened with rubber latches.

Fuel system

Fuel is sourced externally from either a drum or jerry can, and is drawn by the burner
pump to the burner through a fuel assembly starting with oil lance for drum or a
shorter type for jerry can (standard).
In the fuel line a filter/water separator with a wire mesh is built-in to pick up debris
and a glass receiver for collecting any small amounts of water.
A flow control operates as an air bleed receptacle and a regulator to establish a constant flow in a loop between the pump , the pre-heater and the flow control .
A fuel pre-heater heats up the fuel to 50 C before releasing it to the fuel pump. The
pre-heater is provided with an automatically, integral thermostatic temperature control.
In the pump , the fuel is sucked through a fuel filter which collects fine particles of
dirt and foreign objects, which has not been taken out by the first filter in the water
separator. The pump has an internal by-pass to lead part of the flow back into the preheater and flow control. The pump pressure can easily be adjusted and a gauge displays
the true pressure.
From the pump fuel travels to the nozzle through the fuel pressure tube. The nozzle

971145 Version 2.1 22.10.2012

contains the last fine filter in this system.

Control system
Control system

The heater incorporates a control system that allows fully automatic operation after a
start cycle has been initiated by the room thermostat. Safety devices will completely
shut down ignition, fuel flow and fans in case of malfunction. All operating controls and
components are mounted to permit easy access for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

Room thermostat

The room thermostat (accessory) will be placed inside the tent, to control the room
temperature. The wanted temperature will be set on the thermostat. If the temperature
falls below the set point the thermostat will automatically start up the burner. After
reaching the set point the thermostat automatically shuts off the burner of the unit
again.
See also Set-up, page 23 (Thermostat) for further explanation.

CO monitor

The CO monitor (accessory) will be placed inside the tent nearby the warm air distribution duct. The CO monitor is factory set and will stop the complete unit if the CO content in the air is higher than the set point of the monitor. At the same time the monitor
will give an acoustical signal.
See also Set-up, page 23 (CO-monitor) for further explanation.

Internal fan/limit

The internal fan thermostat control delays fan operation until the discharge air tem-

thermostat

perature has reached the preset factory temperature of 60 C. This means that the fan
will not operate after burner start before the heat exchanger is heated to this temperature. After the burner stopped the fan will continue to operate and cool the heat exchanger/combustion chamber until the air discharge temperature has fallen to approximately 30 C.
The limit thermostat automatically stops the burner if the air discharge temperature exceeds 80 C. The fan will continue. When the temperature has fallen by approximately 5
C, then the burner will automatically switch on again.

Overheat protec-

The overheat thermostat operates when the heat exchanger is in danger of being dam-

tion

aged from an excess of temperature. This thermostat protector shuts down the fuel, ignition and air supply systems. The red OT indicator lamp on the internal control box illuminates.
Follow this procedure to reset the system (after determining the fault):

Burner flameout

A flameout protector built in into the burner, activates when the burner flame is abnor-

Introduction

The set up is an important factor for gaining the highest performance and reliability
from the warm air heaters with a minimal power and fuel consumption. A camp application can be set up in various ways and still work, but a few important tips will be given
in this section. The normal set up for a VA-M40 MK II has been designed for two tents
with a set of return and supply air ducts for each tent. Be aware it is not advisable to
connect a toilet nor kitchen/mess tent to personnel or operational tents/shelters.

Illustration

This illustrates the normal setup for VA-M40 MK II units:

Return air ducts

Supply air ducts

Fig. 7
Location

It is important that the VA-M40 MK II units are always placed outside the tent with the
flue stack mounted, to avoid smoke gases from being drawn into the tent, or into the
fresh air intake of the unit.
In planning the best arrangement for air distribution to tents or other enclosures, determine the best location for the heater within 1 to 2 m of the space to be heated, and
access to an approved power source. The space heater requires 1 230 V AC; 50 Hz.
Allow space around the heater for operating and servicing accessibility. If possible, keep
unit away from areas of dried grass or leaves which present a fire hazard, particularly
from spilled fuel, or possible fuel leaks from external fuel hose connections or internal
fuel leaks.

Warning

Do not operate the space heater in a location where down drafts or wind currents can
force flue stack exhaust gas down to the
heater intake duct. Do not park vehicles

971145 Version 2.1 22.10.2012

where exhaust gases can be drawn into the

heater intake.

Fig. 8
Continued overleaf

Pre-planning, continued
Duct connection

If the VA-M40 MK II is used to only warm up one tent, try to use both in and outlet connections of the unit. Be aware that blocking one of the inlet and outlet duct connections
on the warm air heater will result in very high exhaust air temperature. For that reason
the burner will be very often shut down by the internal safety thermostat and not any
longer controlled by the room thermostat inside the tent.

Fig. 9

Air recirculation

In order to get the best efficiency out of the heaters it is important always to use the return air duct when connecting the VAM unit to the tent, as the room temperature normally is higher than the ambient outside temperature. This will save fuel and warm up
the tent quicker.
In cases where air recirculation from the tent is not appropriated, it is possible to run
the heater without return air ducts. Please be aware of the dust risk and generation of
over pressure in the tent when running with total fresh air.

Installing the unit

Follow this procedure to make the unit ready for running:

Step
1

Action
Decide if the unit should run with the wheels in place, or without. Dantherm
suggests that if you are using the unit for a longer period to remove the
wheels and store them in the storage compartment.
To remove the wheels:
Fold up the parking stand by pushing the stand first downwards and
then lift it up into parking position
Pull the locking handle
Remove the wheel

Remove the flue stack from the brackets along the side of the heater and
install the flue stack into the flue flange after removing the cover

Set the function switch on the outside control panel to O.

Uncoil and route the power cable in the direction of the power source.
Calculate the distance from the heater location to the power source to assure
you have sufficient power cable.
Do not deploy power cable until step 6

Install the room thermostat and CO monitor (accessories) inside the tent (see
also separate description), uncoil and route the cables to the unit and connect

Set-up, continued
Danger

Avoid spilling fuel on or near the heater. Protect the fuel hose and fuel containers by
keeping them out of traffic areas. Observe all directives for fuel handling and fire prevention. Use only approved diesel or jet fuel.
Do not use petrol/civil gas/gasoline as it may cause a fire and an explosion!

Insulated air ducts

The insulated ducts should be as short as possible to avoid a high pressure loss in the
system (and therewith a reduced air volume) plus transmission losses to the cooled ambient air. The ideal length for the ducts is 6 m for each air circuit or tent. The maximum
combined length of air ducts is 9 m. The use of both openings is required at all times.
As the ducts will introduce a pressure loss every time there is a bend it is important that
the duct is as straight as possible. Small degree bends are not as crucial as large degree
bends are (sharp bends > 90 deg.).

Procedure

Follow this procedure to connect the ducts:

Step
1

Action
Remove the two front covers from the air discharge opening by loosening the
rubber straps

Connect the male connector/spigot on the ducts to the discharge openings

and securely engage with the rubber straps

Insert the end of both supply ducts into the shelter boots

Connect the female connector/spigot on the second set of ducts to the inlet
openings at the end of the unit and securely engage with the rubber strap

Insert the end of both return air ducts into the shelter boots

Air distribution

For the best distribution of the warm air inside

duct

the tent use an air distribution duct placed on

the floor. This will give the best heat distribution, as warm air always moves upwards. Be
aware that the openings of the duct are not

Air in

blocked, so the warm air can be distributed

without any disturbance. The air distribution
duct can be directly connected to the insulated
air discharge duct.
The return air back to the VAM unit is drawn
through the opening of the return air duct.

Operation at high altitudes

Introduction

The burner setting from the factory will normally be sufficient up to 1,500 m above sea
level.
When used in areas at higher altitude the heater might start to produce soot due to insufficient oxygen for the combustion. In this instance dark grey or black exhaust will be
emitted from the flue pipe some adjustments have to be made.
As the combustion airflow is adjusted nearer to its maximum, a smaller nozzle of the
standard 0.85 US Gal/h size will be required. These can be enquired from Dantherm.
Additionally the air damper adjustment has to be increased to 10.0 and the combustion
head to 2.1, Refer to Burner adjustment, page 53.
At even higher altitudes the oil pressure should be gradually reduced to between 810 bar.

Caution

Changing the burner nozzle and making changes to the combustion adjustment is a

971145 Version 2.1 22.10.2012

task only for the responsible maintenance personnel!

31

Shutdown of the heater

Shutdown

Disconnect the air ducts.

Stow the ducts in the compression sacks as required and close the two outlet
openings with the covers

Remove the fuel lance from the fuel source and stow it in the storage compartment

Dismantle the flue stack and stow it along the cabinet side on the brackets

Both wheels can be removed by lifting at the handle and at the same time
pulling the wheels out in a horizontal direction, if the heater has to be transported by a vehicle or moved upon snow.
The wheels can be stowed on top with the short axles placed into access
holes behind the removable covers, or stored in the storage compartment.
The parking stand in front has to be pushed down and lifted and secured in a
horizontal position.
This completes the shutdown and the unit is now ready for transportation

32

Transport and storage

Manual movement

With the help of the two wheels and the front handle the unit can be moved by one per-

and lifting

son over a short distance. Before moving the unit the front stabilizer should be fixed in
a horizontal position.
If it is not possible to use the wheels because of sand, snow or uneven ground the unit
is provided with handrails on each side of the cabinet for lift and moving the heater with
four persons and positioning it.

Warning

The weight of this heater is shown in the specifications, which is beyond the safe handling of one person. Lifting and/or movement should be either undertaken by Mechanical Handling Equipment (MHE) or by sufficient numbers of personnel correctly located
around the heater so as to avoid injury or strain. When lifting the handles or handrails,
are to be used.

Mechanical lifting

Before lifting the unit the two detachable wheels have to be removed and the front stabilizer fixed in a horizontal position. The wheels then can be stored in the storage department or at the top of the unit.
The unit can then be lifted by a truck by using the slots in the skids at the bottom of the
unit or lifted by crane with the help of the lifting point, which is welded in the flue outlet
of the unit.

Long term storage

If the heater is to be in storage for more than 12 months a preventive maintenance

should be performed, see section 12 months maintenance - or 600 hours of operation", page 38. After that the system should be run with fresh and clean fuel to check
the performance of the unit. After testing the VAM leave the fuel in the oil system of the
unit as it prevents condensation inside the system and keeps all rubber parts lubricated.
The long-term storage conditions should be between 0 C and 30 C with a humidity no

971145 Version 2.1 22.10.2012

greater than 60 % relative humidity.

Service agreement
Introduction

The unit includes mechanical parts such as fans, dampers, compressors etc. The unit is
often placed in a rough environment where the components are exposed to different
climate conditions. Therefore the unit will need preventative maintenance on a regular
basis.
Dantherm offers to do this maintenance as well as corrective and emergency repair on
the units so that they at all times will operate according to factory standards.

Preventative

A preventative maintenance visit is a planned visit on a site. The visit could include the

maintenance visit

following:
An initial computer test, simulating various temperatures
Cleaning of the unit
Visual inspection of the unit checking for leakages, corrosion etc.
A final computer test of the unit
Completion of a inspection report
Some of the activities above are not relevant for your product. The visit can also include
other activities, for example battery checks.

Corrective and

In case of malfunctions of the product Dantherm offers to do corrective as well as

emergency repair

emergency repair on the climate units. Agreements will be made with the customer on
response time and price.

Setup

Dantherm has established a network of service partners to do the preventative maintenance. The partner is trained and certified on the actual climate units. The partner will
also carry an adequate number of spare parts so that any repairs can be made during
the same visit.
The agreement will be made with Dantherm and the overall responsibility for the
agreement will be Dantherms.
