Dayton Patio Heaters
®
Description
Dayton high-intensity patio heaters become highly efficient generators
of infrared radiation by heating a ceramic refractory material to
incandescence. The principal operation is to pass a gas-air mixture
through a perforated ceramic refractory, and ignite it on the refractory
surface. This causes the ceramic material to be heated to approximately
1780°F and generate large amounts of infrared radiation that may be
directed anywhere heat is desired. Infrared radiation heats people and
objects it strikes and not the intervening air. Included is a direct spark
ignition system, manifold pressure tap, porous ceramic grids, a stainless
steel housing and a preset mounting bracket for mounting the heater.
Typical applications are restaurant patios, loading docks, warehouses,
service garages, factories, aircraft hangars, etc.
