Figure 6 shows an incorrect flame pattern. The flame is mostly yellow. The incorrect flame pattern results from low gas pressure or from flashback.

CAUTION: Running heater below specified input rating may cause flashback. During flashback, the burner flame is mostly yellow. The flame will burn inside the burner tube, causing a roaring noise. If flashback occurs, turn heater off. After burner tube cools, restart the heater.

ROPANE CONSTRUCTION CONVECTION HEATER specifications

The Desa Ropane Construction Convection Heater is an efficient and durable heating solution designed for both residential and commercial use. This portable heater provides rapid warmth and is ideal for construction sites, workshops, garages, and other large, open areas where traditional heating methods may not be practical.

One of the standout features of the Desa Ropane heater is its robust propane fuel source. Propane is known for its efficiency and high heat output, making it suitable for spaces that require immediate warmth. The heater is designed to deliver impressive heat levels quickly, ensuring that users remain comfortable even in the harshest conditions.

The heater employs convection heating technology, which means it warms the air around it. This method not only heats the space efficiently but also maximizes circulation, allowing for consistent warmth throughout the area. Unlike radiant heaters, which primarily heat objects and people directly in front of them, convection heaters distribute warmth evenly, making them ideal for larger spaces.

Built with durability in mind, the Desa Ropane heater features a sturdy construction that can withstand the rigors of job sites. It’s constructed with high-quality materials that ensure longevity and reliability in demanding environments. The heater's design includes safety features such as a safety shut-off valve, which helps prevent accidents and enhances user safety.

Another significant characteristic of the Desa Ropane heater is its portability. The heater is lightweight and comes equipped with convenient handles, allowing users to easily move it from one location to another as needed. This feature is particularly beneficial for construction professionals who frequently relocate their equipment.

The heater is also designed with user-friendliness in mind. It typically includes easy-to-operate controls, allowing users to adjust settings quickly and efficiently. Additionally, maintenance is straightforward, making it easy for owners to ensure their heater operates at optimal levels.

In summary, the Desa Ropane Construction Convection Heater is a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly heating solution for anyone needing powerful warmth in large, open spaces. Its propane-powered efficiency, convection heating technology, robust construction, and portability make it an essential tool for construction workers and tradespeople alike.
