Diesel Heaters (no tank)

AR-EL offer two main ranges of no-tank diesel heaters.  Our radial fan types all have Tigerloop standard separators and fuel filters fitted with condensate separators. Their chambers are preheated to prevent emission of cold air when starting up, while the heaters have thermostat connections. These models are used for heating such locations as building sites, greenhouses and marquees. The short containerised space heaters have stainless steel body work and intercal industrial burners. The control box and burner areas have lockable door panels, and the heaters have crane hooks which make them highly stackable. An excellent choice for warehouses, workshops and all-weather projects.

Indirect Diesel Space Heaters

The GRY-I series of indirect fired combustion diesel and kerosene heaters are specially made for usage in medium- and large-scale buildings. They are ideal for premises with less extensive systems of ventilation, and can also be diverted to exterior use. Heaters from 15 to 40kW are available, all fitted with rotary air compressors plus safety switches to stop the danger of overheating. Our other indirect range have flue outlets, and feature photocell flame controls, burner relays and high-pressure pumps. You have the option of converting these to a two-pipe system if you wish to connect to a bulk tank. Great for transit sheds, stables and polytunnels.

Diesel Space Heaters

We’ve got all sorts of superbly engineered diesel space heaters to meet your particular needs and circumstances. The 21kw stainless-steel diesel heater has a pump system made by well-known Danish manufacturers Danfoss, while its external fuel filter guarantees its reliable service. Our paraffin/diesel space heaters can run for 14 hours on just one tank of fuel, have an automatic flame failure cut-out facility and are able to heat an area of 360 cubic metres. The compact and simple-to-operate direct-fired GRY-D heater line work on kerosene or diesel and are suitable for many applications, most notably heating and drying.

Diesel Infrared Space Heaters

The diesel infrared space heaters in our catalogue operate on diesel or kerosene. The 33kW variant has a tank capacity of 38 litres and it consumes 3.2 litres of fuel each hour. A thermostat connection point is an optional accessory. Our 29kW-40kW heater has a voltage of 230V and measures 1200mm by 620mm by 930mm. Its outputs span from 100,000 to 140,000 BTU and the machine weighs 90kg when full. The 40KW infrared diesel space heater gas provides a 40kW output and has an unfilled weight of 50kg. The capacity of its tank is 40 litres.

Ceramic and Halogen Heaters

Why not consider a ceramic or halogen heater? The Devil 330 ceramic heaters will raise the temperature in your workplace in a matter of minutes. Their variable output of heat (which reaches a maximum of 2.4kW) is produced from two ceramic plates, which ensure a pleasant level of warmth is always guaranteed. The RSL quartz halogen heater can spot-heat any form of commercial or domestic small building through its pair of quartz lamps. Heating is virtually instantaneous thanks to the focusing effect of the RSL’s metallic reflectors. With its lack of oxygen consumption and condensation, it’s a sure-fire winner!

Electric Fan Heaters

Every office or place of business should have an electric fan heater on site. Contained in a steel cabinet, the Devil 6003 fits in well in garages, workshops and retail outlets, with its variable heat output (from 1.5 to 3kW) setting the appropriate temperature. Its insulated handles make manipulation hazard-free. RPL electric heaters are from the Munsters range and are suitable for closed environments. They don’t produce emissions or free flames, so can provide service when diesel and gas usage is not permitted. Their axial fans mean a low level of noise when operating, and their two-step heat output is fully adjustable.

Portable Gas Heaters

A portable gas heater is a highly convenient and versatile piece of equipment. The KID line of propane space heaters give low-cost spot heating and are ideal for use in small and medium-sized premises. The Devil 660SS stainless steel gas heaters will quickly heat large areas and represent valuable emergency standby accessories. They are suitable for exterior heating. One of our mobile butane gas heaters (which incorporate three different heat output settings) will warm up your home or work space in no time at all. They include hoses and regulators, and are mounted on four castors to make relocation simple.

High Temperature Electric Heaters

Electrical space heaters are particularly appropriate when there is no spare oxygen to use for combustion, open flames are forbidden or a low level of noise is required.VTB electrical heaters are easy to stack and have helpful hand grips and three-sided outlet apertures. The Proheat heaters feature stainless steel elements and a radial fan which increases heat throw. Their fixed outlet temperature is in the 40 to 120 °C range and they are superb for spot and space heating. CH18 heaters will heat your building site safely and quickly, and you can buy them with hoses to extend your access into those awkward-to-reach areas.
