Sunglo™ Infrared Heaters

HEATER LAYOUT AND PATIO DESIGN
There are a number of
considerations in determining the
type and number of heaters to be
used and their best location on
your outdoor patio.
Concept of Patio Heating .
Hot air from
conventional heaters is not an option for
heating an outdoor patio so a patio heater
uses radiant heat like we receive from the
sun
Radiant Heat:
Is the type of heat you
receive from a fireplace, potbelly stove, or
the sun. It is an infrared wave length that
heats objects without first heating the
intervening air. Unlike ultraviolet light
there is no sunburn or sun tanning affect.
Infrared will not attract insects
Patio Heater: Is an unvented gas-fired
infrared heater designed to
concentrate radiant heat in outdoor
areas.
Definition of Outdoors: (for the
purpose of these instructions). An
appliance is considered to be outdoors
if installed with shelter no more
inclusive than:
1. With walls on all sides but with no
overhead cover.
2. Within a partial enclosure which
includes an overhead cover and no
more than two side walls. The side
walls may be parallel, as in a breeze
way, or at right angles to each
other.
3. Within a partial enclosure which
includes an overhead cover and up
to three side walls, as long as 30%
or more of the horizontal periphery
of the enclosure is permanently
open.
EFFECTIVE RANGE
(COVERAGE):
The comforting warmth from a single
Sunglo™ Heater will cover a 12’ to 20’
circle. The Sunglo™ is a “comfort”
heater, and the coverage is the area in
which people will receive a comforting
amount of warmth. Some people will
require more or less warmth than
others to be comfortable and will
either turn the heater up or down, or
move closer or farther away as desired
WHERE TO LOCATE PATIO
HEATERS:
Sunglo™ Heaters naturally attract
people to their infrared warm glow.
Locate heaters where people can
readily gather, sit or stand comfortably,
and where furnishing can easily be
moved to best accommodate the
radiating warmth.
GENERAL RULES FOR
LOCATING HEATES:
A Sunglo™ Patio Heater can operate
effectively to maintain comfort even in
completely exposed areas, although
weather protected areas are desirable.
Weather and wind protection allows
the air to be warmed to enhance the
direct radiant warming effect.
Breezy Conditions
:
Sunglo™ heaters are designed to work
well under a variety of outdoor
conditions. However, wind and other
weather conditions will affect how well
the heater operates, or if it should be in
use at all. The heater can be safely
operated when the cross wind or
breeze is 0-10 mph. If heaters are
mounted on the edge of a precipice or
sea cliff where wind is directed upwards
into the reflector hood, damage to the
heater will occur. Upward thrusts of
wind can also occur because of wind
walls or other architectural elements
near the patio. The patio should be
designed to protect the heaters against
this type of condition.
Using Multiple Heaters:
When more than one heater is used in
an area, it is generally preferable to
locate them close together. Multiple
heaters located on 8’ to 15’ centers will
give overlapping heat patterns,
increasing the overall effective coverage
for each heater.
CONTROL SYSTEMS:
Sunglo™ heaters are available with a
variety of control systems from manual
controls requiring no electrical
connections to a 24 VAC fully automatic
ignition and control system (see Basic
Lighting instructions on page 6). It is
recommended that when multiple
heaters are used, that the electrical
circuitry be arranged so heaters can be
switched on and off individually or in
groups to provide maximum flexibility
for heating the patio.
