Since I have been blogging about portable heating systems I might as well keep it going.
One question that keeps popping up when people talk about portable heating systems is
Direct Fired and Indirect Fired Heaters.
A Direct Fired Heater heats the air by a flame that is produced by burning some type of fuel. (Natural gas; Propane, Kerosene or Diesel) Usually there is a fan to move the air through a tube or cylinder where this flame is contained. These types of heaters are almost 100% efficient and therefore very cost effective.
An Indirect Fired Heater also heats air by a flame that is produced by burning some type of fuel. (Natural gas; Propane, Kerosene or Diesel) There is a fan to move the air through a tube or cylinder where a heat exchanger is located. This heat exchanger is where the flame is contained and has a port where the exhaust can be vented away from the area you are heating. These types of heaters are not as efficient but are still very good.
The important thing to remember is you need to match the correct type of heater to your particlar application.
