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.
