RECOMMENDED USES
The Yellow Heat Burner is suitable for heating greenhouses, warehouses, shops, barns, garages,
certain commercial spaces and selected other larger heating spaces. Yellow Heat Burner is not
appropriate for most residential applications due to insurance restrictions.
Depending on the construction details and equipment in the heated space, Yellow Heat is suitable
for heating spaces from 1,000 to 10,000 square feet. Multiple Yellow Heat units can be used for
larger spaces. Consult an installing HVAC professional if in doubt about the suitability of this
heating equipment for your proposed use.
Yellow Heat will cleanly and efficiently burn new or recycled vegetable oils, B-100 or any other
blend of biodiesel, #1 or #2 home heating oil, diesel fuel, used motor oil, hydraulic oil,
transmission fluid, or most other combustible oils. Never use flammable liquids such as gasoline,
paint thinner, alcohol, or other potentially explosive fuel in the burner. Please read this Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before purchasing, installing or using the Yellow Heat System.
