PORTABLE PROPANE/LP HEATER specifications

The Desa Portable Propane/LP Heater is a versatile and efficient heating solution designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Ideal for camping, construction sites, or emergency heating, this portable unit offers convenience and performance in various environments.

One of the main features of the Desa heater is its portability. Lightweight and compact, it can easily be transported from one location to another, making it perfect for on-the-go heating needs. Its user-friendly design includes a comfortable carrying handle, allowing for effortless mobility.

The heating power of this propane heater is considerable, with many models providing up to 30,000 BTU. This level of output ensures that the area can be effectively warmed in a short period. The adjustable thermostat feature allows users to set the desired temperature, providing customized comfort according to individual preferences.

Safety is a paramount concern for the Desa Portable Heater. Equipped with an automatic shut-off mechanism, the unit will turn off if it detects low oxygen levels or if it tips over. In addition, the built-in flame failure device prevents gas flow if the flame goes out, contributing to a safer heating experience.

The heater utilizes advanced technologies such as a catalytic combustion system, which ensures efficient fuel use and reduces emissions, making it an environmentally friendly option compared to traditional heaters. This technology allows the heater to produce heat without creating harmful pollutants, making it suitable for indoor use, provided there is adequate ventilation.

Another notable characteristic of the Desa heater is its quiet operation. Unlike many traditional propane heaters that can be noisy, this model is designed to minimize sound levels, ensuring you can enjoy a peaceful environment while staying warm.

The versatility of the heater is further enhanced by its ability to run off standard propane tanks or smaller, portable cylinders. This feature allows for flexibility in fuel options, catering to various user preferences and usage scenarios.

Whether you're heating a tent, garage, or workshop, the Desa Portable Propane/LP Heater is a reliable and efficient solution that delivers warmth wherever it's needed, combining safety, efficiency, and portability in one excellent package.
