Portable Waste Oil Shop Heater ENERGY Waste Oil 30-6-33 If you like the idea of burning waste oil for heat but you don't like the complicated furnaces on the market, you might want to take a look at Thermobile portable heaters which are simple in comparison, says Jay Goethal, sales manager, Thermobile North America.
"We use a drip pan style," he says. "You manually start the burner with a cup of diesel fuel. That heats the pan, and when the oil drips on the pan, it vaporizes.
"We're priced right to burn up waste oil and get heat out of it," says Goethal. "Our AT 306 puts out either 60,000 or 100,000 btu's and is priced at only $1,550, while the $3,700 AT 500 can produce up to 200,000 btu's."
Thermobile offers four waste oil heating units, three with fully enclosed, lock down burner chambers and internal combustion fans for safe use, even in areas with flammable vapors present. The AT 306 and AT 307 are sized to heat 1,500 sq. ft and burn between 0.5 and 0.8 gal. of fuel per hour. The AT 400 will heat 5,000 sq. ft. and burn between 0.7 and 1.0 gal. per hour. The AT 500 will heat 7,000 sq. ft. and burn between 1.0 and 1.6 gal. of waste oil per hour.
The lower cost AT 306 simply draws its oxygen through holes in the fire chamber. It can be equipped with an optional Thermo Blower for added heat throw. The AT 307, AT 400 and AT 500 come standard with either the Thermo Blower or an internal axial fan.
"The AT 307 is our most popular unit," says Goethal. "With fuel oil at $2.50 and waste oil free, the $2,400 AT 307 can pay for itself in a year while eliminating a waste product."
Goethal notes that the stoves don't have thermostat control and the burn pan has to be dumped after every use. But, he notes, the manual controls means there's a lot less to go wrong. He notes that the stoves meet both U.L. and the Canadian CSA standards.
