Product Description

The TPI Corporation 178TMC fan forced portable heater can operate at 1500W or 800W, and has a ceramic-enclosed heating element that provides steady, energy-efficient radiant heat appropriate for spot heating of small rooms and work areas. The steel housing is welded to a combination stand and handle for portability, and includes a thermostat for adjustable temperature control, an automatic reset type limit control and a thermal cutoff device for safety.

It includes a 6 ft long, three-conductor power cord and is wired for 120V for compatibility with most standard circuits. The unit weighs 8 lb. and is compliant to standards for use in the United States and Canada by United Laboratories UL.Electric heaters generate warmth through a central heating element that is housed in a reflective enclosure that concentrates the energy produced.

An element made of a combination of metals produces heat or infrared energy by the electrical resistance created when an electric current passes through it. Fan-forced heaters pass air over the heating element to expel heat from the enclosure for greater throw and circulation.Radiant heaters do not use a fan, but warm nearby objects through energy transfer.
