Combustion Heaters

Combustion Heaters

(a)       Before installation, combustion heaters should be inspected, and when necessary, pressure tested in the manner prescribed in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual to ensure that no fuel or combustion products leak into the cabin air supply
(b)       Heaters should be installed in the manner specified in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual concerned, taking care that air and fuel leakages do not occur at duct joints or connections. There should be no connection between the combustion air and cabin air supplies and no leakage of air or exhaust gas into the aircraft.
(c)       Equipment associated with the heating system such as flow valves, air regulators, thermostatic devices and ducts should be correctly interconnected, and mechanical movements, flows and temperature settings checked and adjusted.
(d)       After the installation of a heater the system should be ground tested in the manner specified in the relevant Aircraft Maintenance Manual.

NOTE: Unburnt fuel or fuel vapour should not be allowed to accumulate within the combustion system or aircraft particularly during component functioning tests
