I know that the unit has a low oxygen sensor that will shut the unit down. I also planned to place a carbon monoxide sensor in the room. I would not run it when we were a sleep. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Fowle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 11:04 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] portable propane heater
The questions I'd want solid answers for are: 1. where does the flame get it's oxygen without robbing the other breathers in the house. 2. What happens to the carbon monoxide and other less unpleasant conbustion products? Why aren't they a problem for humans. If somebody says the house is big enough to provide enough oxygen and dissipate the C/O2, I'd call them a fraud and a liar. Only places indoors I've hard of using combustion heaters would be shops and the like that aren't air tight. Particularly in modern well sealed and insulated houses, I'd think any thing else would be a way to end it all, and I'm not there yet and hope nobody else is. tom Fowle ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [email protected] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [email protected]!
