About Space Heaters and Room Heaters

Space heaters and room heaters are designed for use in confined areas or spaces. They do not emit hazardous pollutants or noxious fumes, and are generally portable. The most important specification to consider when selecting space heaters and room heaters is the primary fuel source. Choices include electricity, liquid fuels, gaseous fuels, wood, and solar hot water. Diesel, fuel oil, gasoline, kerosene, and waste oil are examples of liquid fuels. Gaseous fuels include both natural gas and propane. Wood-burning space heaters and room heaters may use pellets, logs, and other combustible solid products. 

Selecting space heaters and room heaters requires an analysis of product specifications. There are two parameters for maximum temperature: maximum operating temperature and maximum air temperature. Maximum operating temperature is the top temperature that a heater’s protective cover or sheath may reach. Maximum air temperature is, as its name suggests, the maximum temperature of the air exiting from the heater. Product specifications for space heaters and room heaters also include heating capacity and power requirement. Heating capacity is the wattage or watt density that a heater can deliver. There are three choices for power requirement: single-phase, three-phase, and AC voltage.
