The first gas heater made use of the same principles of the Bunsen burner invented in the previous year. It was first commercialized by the English company Pettit and Smith in 1856. The flame heats the air locally. This heated air then spreads by convection , thus heating the whole room. Today the same principle applies with outdoor patio heater s or mushroom heaters which act as giant Bunsen burners. Beginning in 1881 the burner s flame was used to heat a structure made of asbestos , a design patent ed by Sigismund Leoni, a United Kingdom British engineer . Later, fire clay replaced the asbestos because it is easier to mould. Modern gas heaters still work this way although using other refractory material. Modern gas heaters have been further developed to include units which utilize radiant heat technology, rather than the principles of the Bunsen burner. This form of technology does not spread via convection, but rather, is absorbed by people and objects in its path. This form of heating is particularly useful for outdoor heating , where it is uneconomical to attempt to heat a large volume of air. Home heating safety Essentially indoor household gas heaters can be categorized in one of two ways flued or non flued . Flued heaters would always be permanently installed.

No footnotes date September 2008 The chip heater is a single point, tankless, domestic hot water system popular in Australia and New Zealand from c1880s until the 1960s. Examples of this form of domestic water heating are still in current use. The chip heater consisted of a cylindrical unit with a fire box and flue through which a water pipe was run. Water was drawn from a cold water tank, circulated through the fire box and when heated was drawn off to the area where it was used typically in a bath or shower. The fire box was relatively small and fed by newspaper, with pine cones, small twigs and chips from the wood heap. There often was an ash box under the fire box which also allowed air under the fire as well as various dampers in the flue. The use of chips from the wood pile gave the heater its name chip heater. Water was run in at a trickle otherwise it did not get very hot. The rate of combustion was controlled by the flues and the ash box. With lots of fuel and the flues open the water could be quickly boiled which was not a desirable result. With practice the correct combination of fuel, flue settings and water flow could result in a decent hot shower or bath in about 20 min. History The chip heater is embedded in Australian and New Zealand social history as many people can remember using one or someone who had one. The precise history of the chip heater is unclear.

Orphan date February 2009 A crankcase heater is an electrical component in a gas compressor compressor in an air conditioning system, heat pump system, or a chiller system. The crankcase heater is normally ON all the time even when the unit is not running, though temperature sensors and set points may be used to turn it off when not needed. A crankcase heater s sole purpose is to prevent refrigerant migration and mixing with crankcase oil, when the unit is off, and to prevent condensation of refrigerant in the crankcase of a compressor. The crankcase heater is designed to keep the refrigerant at a temperature higher than the coldest part of the system. A crankcase heater has the same electrical symbol as a resistor because it converts electricity directly into heat via electrical resistance . The resistance in the heater coil determines the heat it will produce when voltage is applied. ref Thomas E. Kissell 2008 . Electricity, Electronics, and Control Systems for HVAC 4th edition , page 120. Pearson Prentice Hall ref Installation Some manufacturers of air conditioning equipment install crankcase heaters either in the compressor insertion type , or mount them externally around the base of the compressor bellyband type .

Caution should be used since the heater can become very hot and cause second degree burns as well as cause electrical danger due to live circuits.

Orphan date February 2009 unreferenced date October 2007 A baptistry heater is water heating device used in baptismal font baptistry pools by various religion s throughout the world. Three main types of heaters are Immersion heater immersion , circulation and gas propane LP . A baptistry heater can range from 3 kilowatt kW to 12 kW of power and can heat water from 54 degrees Fahrenheit 12 C to 118 F 48 C . Modern baptistry heaters start in 1904 by a businessman in Orange, Texas who was getting baptized at his local church. The water was very cold. He decided that he could use electricity to heat the baptistry in order to make it warmer. W. E. McCorquodale thought that he could add to his plumbing business by selling heaters to churches. In 1927, Mr. McCorquodale invented and was granted the patent on the first thermostatically controlled instantaneous gas water heater. The unit which was filled with heavy copper coils was top of the line technology in its day. Cold water entered the unit at the bottom of the coil system, which was forced by the water pressure through the coil. When the water reached the top of the unit, it was able to provide almost instant hot water into the baptistry tank. Over the years baptisteries have changed mainly form cement and steel to fiberglass. During this transition the two companies that produced baptistry heater had to make some adjustments to the units. These adjustments make heater water much safer & faster than in early years. Category Plumbing ... more details

File Hard times heater.jpg thumb right This is a very basic tubular blower that sits under a grate and heats the air being pumped through it from the heat of the coals. It has a high rate of airflow but a small surface area. A tubular grate heater is any grate or heat exchanger for a fireplace designed from hollow metal tubing. Through the tubing is circulated home air, that becomes heated by the fire. The air is then vented back into the room and home. It is a heat recovery device that improves the efficiency and ability of a fireplace to get the heat from the fire out and into the home. From simple to ornate they can contribute significantly to the overall comfort of a room to a whole house. This in turn will reduce the amount of firewood needed to achieve the same comfort level, reducing heating costs and expenses. Tubular grate heaters increase the efficiency of a fireplace and hence the amount of heat that makes it from the fireplace out into the home. They work by having a naturally convected or fan forced tubular metal heat exchanger that is heated by the coals and or fire. They draw in cold air from the floor and blow heated air back out into your home. This adds an element of conductive and convective heating to the radiant heat typical of a basic fireplace.

A gasoline heater is a small, mounted or portable, gasoline gasoline fueled , heater space heating device . In the United States they were used mainly for supplemental heat for the passenger compartments of automobiles and aircraft. Some aircraft continue to use gasoline heaters. Operation First, fuel is brought to the heater using piping from a fuel tank, or taps into the vehicles fuel system. A fan blows air into a combustion chamber, and a spark plug or ignition device lights the gasoline air mixture. A built in safety switch prevents fuel from flowing unless the fan is working. Outside the combustion chamber, a second, larger diameter tube conducts air around the combustion tube s outer surface, and a second fan blows the warmed air into tubing to direct it towards the interior of the vehicle. Most gasoline heaters produce between 5,000 to 50,000 British thermal unit BTU per hour. Gasoline heaters require electricity to operate. Heaters were made compatible with 6 volt, 12 volt, and 24 volt automotive and aircraft electrical systems. The heater requires routine maintenance, such as regular inspection of the combustion tube, and replacement of the igniter at periodic intervals. Safety Because gasoline heaters are required to be vented, special care must be made to ensure the vents do not leak into the interior of the automobile or aircraft. Combustion byproducts include soot, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and some carbon monoxide. An improperly adjusted, fueled, or poorly maintained gasoline heater could be dangerous.
