The TPI Corporation 198TMC combination fan forced/radiant portable heater has dual fan forced and radiant heating elements that can be used separately or together to warm small rooms and work areas. The steel enclosure has a handle for portability and a wire cage for safety. The radiant element operates at 600W, the fan forced element operates at 900 watts, and both may be used together for a total of 1500 watts.
The unit includes a thermostat for adjustable temperature control and has a manual reset switch for overheat protection and a tip-over switch to disable the heater 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 9 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.
