Indirect Diesel Heaters

When there is no 3 phase electricity on site and you need more than 3kW of heat out of a standard domestic 13A socket there is only one option - to burn a fuel.

Traditionally burning a fuel meant using a direct fired diesel heater or propane heater.   These were simple devices which simply squirted the fuel into the barrel and ignited it.  The problems with these kinds of portable heaters are:-
  • Could only be used where no flammables such as card, paper or fuels because of flying embers.
  • Could only be used where extremely well ventilated - 
    • The fumes would not make it comfortable for people to work in an area.
    • The fumes have a high moisture content and raise humidity in an area - making these not great for drying.
Luckily there is now a better solution on the market - the Indirect Fired Diesel Heater.

Indirect Diesel Heaters burn the fuel in a stainless steel combustion chamber and then expel the fumes through a chimney.  This eliminates the sparks, keeps the fumes out and makes the heater provide clean, dry, warm air.
