re you using the modern burner unit (MBU) to heat the griddles, ranges or cooking
racks in your feld kitchen? IF so, take a look at the MBU’s data plate. IF the NSN
is 7310-01-452-8137 and the model number is MBU100, you’re cooking with an
outdated V1 model.
Don’t turn in your outdated MBU,
though. Instead, upgrade it to a V3 model
by removing the current Fuel delivery
block and replacing it with an upgraded
block, NSN 7310-01-462-4905. The
upgraded block has the same NSN as the
current block. When you order using this
NSN, you’ll get the upgraded block.
To remove and replace the Fuel
delivery block, Follow the procedures
in WP 0019 oF TM 10-7310-281-13&P
(May 10).
Why the Upgrade?
The MBU needs the upgrade because the current block in the MBU100 model
supports an adjustable heat output ranging From 22,000 to 47,000 BTUs per hour.
That means when you use the MBU100 on a serving line to keep Food warm, it burns
too hot—even at its lowest setting. ±ood gets scorched.
The upgraded Fuel delivery
block supports a heat output
with a wider range, From 11,000
to 53,500 BTUs per hour. That
means you can adjust the MBU
For lower heat and not burn
your Food.
The
block
includes
an
upgraded ²ame sensor that can
operate at higher temperatures.
Three Decals
•
The first decal goes on the MBU’s
data plate. It lists a new NSN,
model number and part number
for the MBU. The new numbers
show the upgraded fuel delivery
block has been installed.
•
The second decal goes on the control panel and
identifies the equipment as the MBU V3.
•
The third decal goes underneath the control
knob and shows an ULTRA LOW fuel setting.
MBUs now in production will include the upgraded Fuel delivery block and ²ame
sensor. They’ll also Feature the new decals and the new NSN, model number and
part number:
NSN 7310-01-507-9310
Model MBU-V3
Part number MS0003
