  • Eden greenhouse heater pilot light goes off

    I noticed that the pilot light started comming off on my Eden greeenhouse heater after few minutes of burning. I got it brand new, was working for about day or two and now this is happeining. Got -1 last night with greenhouse single buble wrapped around -4.5 outside.
    I had a look at the manual and in troubleshooting section it says:

    7. Heater goes out during period of use

    Lack of adequate The heater is fitted with an ODS SENSOR (Oxygen Depletion System ) ventilation in thearea of use particularly in the lower area of the greenhouse where Gas Emissions will collect as they are heavier than the normal atmosphere.

    IF THE ATMOSPHERE WITHIN THE AREA OF USE CONTAINS
    A LOWER THAN THE CERTIFIED CONTENT OF OXYGEN
    THEN THE HEATER WILL SHUT DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY
    DEVICE NOT A FAULT.
    MAKE SURE THE HEATER RECEIVES ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION WITHIN THE GREENHOUSE IN WHICH IT IS
    BEING USED

    I'm not now to the subject, and I don't really get how lack of oxygen can stop it working. That's why I insulated the greenhouse, if I ventilate it will get cold air in defeating the purpose. Is it possible something else is causing it? What about removing the ODS sensor?

    Help! 1 degree tonight!

    I think there's plenty of oxygen in the air in the greenhouse for the sensor not to go off even if it burns all night and I don't think bubblewrapping it is making any difference. I think it's faulty, so I'd get back to the supplier and hear what they have to say. Maybe give them a ring?

    Maybe someone more technical than me can say how it's fixed but I wouldn't know
