Cold garages & heating solutions ?
SteveD CB500K0:
Have you actually read that?
They claim that the heat isn’t actually transmitted through the air but via light waves.
Golly.

These are used in spray shops - they heat an object not the surrounding air so a wing is heated but no dust is stirred up.
Multiman:
Might be stating the obvious but two things about any combustion heater in a workshop.
You need very good ventilation due to carbon monoxide generation.
It will also produce water vapour which might not be a great idea.
Always worth buying a cheap CO alarm just to be safe.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The Chinese diesel heaters have separate external air intakes and exhuast pipe so unless the heat exchanger is faulty no combustion products are released inside the caravan or garage. A CO detector would be sensible safety option.
Having tried my 1800w electric convector tower heater I was surprised it managed to make the place today warm overnight. It has a thermostat built in - just need to check the cost is my too daft.
Multiman:
Yeah I was referring to the previous heater type that was being discussed that vents into the room. Should have been clearer.
The truck cab/boat type heaters with external venting are very good, mate had one on a boat and it was toasty even in winter.
