Radiant heat allows you to heat an object without warming the air for greater efficiency and is unaffected by wind or cold ambient air. Since radiant heat can penetrate into the object, the targeted surface and object are warmed and dried in a uniquely different way. Heat penetrates evenly just like heat from sunlight.
Radiant heat is 98.9% fuel efficient, portable, dust free, and odorless, is optimum for heating or drying, and is perfect for outdoor use. High-efficiency radiant space heaters are powered by diesel #1, diesel #2, or kerosene. When using diesel #2, it may sometimes gel. If this happens, we recommend mixing diesel #2 with diesel #1 or kerosene.
The VAL6 series lineup has everything you need in an infrared space heater. It provides portability, efficiency, and power. Kochel Equipment Co offers many models to service your needs, including the HOTGUN and Daystar models which utilize the same concept but in conjunction with forced air heat from a blower/fan system.
