Torpedo Portable Gas Heater

Dayton propane gas heaters are designed to heat ventilated spaces like construction sites and job sites. They have an open flame that straight away heats the air to warm spaces. These powder-coated portable heaters can be comfortably moved wherever heat is required and also provide an adjustable heat angle. Choose from a range of these torpedo heaters, available in 300, 400, 435 and 1800 CFM airflow variants.

Working Mechanism

  • Direct-fired gas heaters work by directly burning a fuel, typically natural gas or propane, to generate heat. The combustion process takes place inside the heater's combustion chamber, where a burner unit is located. The burner releases the fuel into the chamber, and it mixes with air in the right proportion for efficient combustion. The fuel-air mixture is then ignited by an ignition source, such as a pilot light or an electronic igniter. As the fuel burns, heat is produced and transferred directly to the surrounding air, which is then circulated by a fan or blower. This heated air is distributed into the desired space through vents or ductwork, providing immediate and efficient heating.

Features

  • Dayton torpedo portable gas heaters feature steel construction with powder-coated finish for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
  • They offer an automatic safety shut-off facility and manual reset thermal overheat protection for enhanced user safety.
  • These Dayton propane heaters feature one-hand piezo ignition that allows users to ignite the heater with just one hand, without the need for external ignition tools.
  • They provide direct spark ignition for fail-proof start and have a 5-15P NEMA plug for easy installation.
