INVESTIGATION ON SAFE OPERATION OF A RADIANT PORTABLE LPG HEATER

Pitt, A.I., 1974. INVESTIGATION ON SAFE OPERATION OF A RADIANT PORTABLE LPG HEATER. Fire Research Notes 1014


ABSTRACT

A portable butane-fired radiant heater of high heat output was tested in accordance with BS 2773 and BS 1945. The heater failed to comply with a number of clauses, but was not in fact stated to comply. However, recent trends in domestic heating comfort requirements indicate that a re-appraisal of current limitations of heat output could be justified.
