Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SUNFIRE from 3G Electric.
What fuel types are compatible with SUNFIRE portable radiant heaters?
SUNFIRE portable radiant heaters, including models SF80, SF120, and SF160, are designed to operate on diesel or kerosene fuel. The choice between these fuels depends on availability, cost, and environmental conditions. Kerosene is typically preferred for indoor use due to its lower sulfur content and reduced odor, while diesel may be used in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-enclosed areas. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for fuel specifications to ensure proper combustion and heater performance.
What is the heating capacity range of SUNFIRE floor heaters available from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks SUNFIRE portable radiant floor heaters with heating capacities of 80,000 BtuH (model SF80), 120,000 BtuH (model SF120), and 160,000 BtuH (model SF160). These capacities are suitable for spot heating in industrial spaces such as warehouses, construction sites, and workshops. The selection allows engineers to match the heater output to the required heat load based on square footage, insulation levels, and ambient temperature conditions.
How long can a SUNFIRE SF160 run on a full tank of fuel?
The SUNFIRE SF160 portable radiant heater has an 18-gallon fuel tank and is rated for up to 16 hours of continuous operation at its maximum heating output of 160,000 BtuH. Actual runtime may vary depending on fuel type, ambient temperature, and thermostat settings if applicable. This extended runtime makes the SF160 suitable for overnight or shift-long heating applications without frequent refueling.
Are SUNFIRE heaters suitable for indoor use?
SUNFIRE portable radiant heaters can be used indoors, but only in well-ventilated areas. These heaters burn diesel or kerosene, producing carbon monoxide and other combustion byproducts. Adequate ventilation is required to maintain safe air quality. They are not designed for sealed or occupied spaces without fresh air intake. For indoor applications, ensure compliance with local fire and safety codes, and consider using carbon monoxide detectors.
What are the physical dimensions of the SUNFIRE SF80 and SF120 models?
The SUNFIRE SF80 and SF120 portable radiant heaters share the same physical dimensions: 33-3/4 inches in height, 28-1/2 inches in width, and 32 inches in depth. The SF160 is larger, measuring 43 inches in height, 32 inches in width, and 34 inches in depth. These dimensions are important for planning storage, transport, and placement in confined spaces.
