Patio Heater Suppliers

The radiant heat from the patio heater continues outward until it contacts an object, which makes it warm. The object then throws off ambient heat, heating the area and air in the vicinity of the patio heater. Note that radiant heat is not affected by the wind, nor does it heat air. The more objects in the vicinity of the patio, the more ambient heat will be created and the more the area near the patio heater will be warmed. Push the ignitor button to spark the gas, producing a flame at the pilot. The pilot warms the thermocouple, sending electricity to a magnet in the control valve. This magnet open an inner valve in the control system, allowing gas to flow to the main burner.

No gas will flow to the burner, until the control knob is released and turned to the desired flame position. The gas from the burner now ignites and should be a nice blue with yellow/orange tips. The flame from the burner will contact the patio heater emitter screen, making it glow an orange color. This orange glow is an infrared energy frequency or light wave, that creates radiant heat. This radiant heat starts to move outward, like a light wave and bounces off the reflector. The concave construction of the patio heater hood directs the radiant heat outward, making a 20 foot circle of heat. The propane or natural gas is supplied to the Patio Heater, which flows through to the regulator.
