Convective Space Heater Cycling
Does your convective space heater, NSN 4520-01-431-8927, cycle on and off a lot when outside
temps change a lot? Here are two ways to reduce cycling:
•
Open the tent door and cool the inside.
•
Disconnect the air supply duct from the tent’s air duct opening. Allow the heater to draw
cooler outside air until the cycling stops.

Tent Mod Kit
The convective space heater, NSN 4520-01-431-
8927, efficiently heats your modular command
post shelter (MCPS) as long as there’s a free flow
of air into and out of the shelter. Problem is, the
earliest versions of the MCPS were fielded with-
out air duct openings. If your MCPS doesn’t have
duct openings, you need to order the tent wall
modification kit, NSN 4520-01-493-3215. The kit
allows you to cut openings in the shelter wall so
that air flows freely.

allowed to use diesel fuel. Just remember, diesel promotes carbon build-up, shortens burner
service life and leads to frequent burner cleaning. If you use diesel, get the
Simplified Burner
Cleaning
service bulletin (Instruction Sheet PN 5-13-5647). It’s available online at
