It’s like TURNING ON THE SUN! #Garage #heater #workshop

What happens here

To demonstrate the heater's suitability for indoor use without harmful emissions, place the SunFire SF120 radiant heater inside an enclosed garage or workshop. Ensure a carbon monoxide detector is placed within the space to monitor air quality. Begin by noting the starting temperature inside the garage using a thermometer, which in this case was 41°F. Start the heater by pressing the 'on/off' button and initiate a stopwatch to track the time it takes to reach a comfortable working temperature, for example, 60°F. Periodically check the carbon monoxide detector to confirm that no harmful gases are being emitted.

Goal: Verify safe operation and temperature increase of the radiant heater in an enclosed indoor space.

Tools and materials

  • Carbon Monoxide Detector Klein Tools — Monitoring CO levels for safety
  • Stopwatch Apple — Timing the temperature increase
  • SunFire SF120 Radiant Heater SunFire — Heating the enclosed space
  • Thermometer La Crosse — Measuring ambient temperature in the garage

Michael okay okay and if I'm understanding this radiant heat if I wanted to thaw this machine out let's just say she's froze up okay if I was using a torpedo heater I'd have my torpedo heater here and then I would be building a tent around here because I'm trying to keep that heat contained in here what you're telling me is I could take that Sunfire I could put it about here and the wind could blow 50 miles an hour and it wouldn't make a single difference because it's still going to heat up exactly what I need though absolutely it's like it doesn't use it because it doesn't use forced air it's not affected by the wind at all so it's going to warm that thaw something out very easily no tense no tents no worrying about burning burning the tarp up and starting my equipment on fire no Frick okay uh but you're not the only radiant heater out there no there's four other for basically four companies in the world that make this for the most part one in Europe and Italy one in China there's an excellent company in Japan that makes one but there's only one that makes them in the United States and that's a Sunfire okay you said an excellent company in Japan one in Europe one in China how do you compare in quality to those companies because made in America is great but if you ain't making it as good as the other boys we need something that's built to last well let's show you it's built where I get tough and heavy duty built to last we thought of everything with this Frame and the design for easy picking up we have the burner here inside of there is some technology that we're the only ones in the world that have a rapid access easy maintenance hatch so you can do maintenance and tune-ups pulling out the nozzle assembly in just a few minutes and swapping out the nozzle putting it back in you're back in business down to the easy fill fuel neck to put in the fuel most of them put it on the top of the tank and it makes it more difficult ours is on the side everything we thought of here it's just a thing of beauty who wouldn't want one of these love it all right well let's take it inside because this is actually designed to work indoors no carbon monoxide you have a carbon monoxide detector we're gonna actually close the shop up and we're gonna see how this works fire it up see what it does with the temperature with the carbon monoxide you said that this is built to protect this so we're going to run this through some tests that nobody would want to do if they own one of…
