Master BLP103 Dual Voltage Propane Gas Heater: Powerful & Versatile Heating for Large Spaces
The Master BLP103 is a heavy-duty, direct-fired propane gas heater built for demanding environments. It provides instant, cost-effective heat with exceptional power output and dual voltage flexibility, making it an ideal solution for rapidly warming large areas where good ventilation can be maintained.
Features
- Exceptional Heating Power: Offers a massive and variable heating output, ranging from 57 kW up to 103 kW (194,500 to 351,700 BTU/h). This significant power ensures rapid and efficient heating of very large spaces such as warehouses, factories, construction sites, workshops, and agricultural buildings.
- High Air Displacement: Generates a substantial airflow of 3,260 m³/h, effectively distributing heat throughout the desired area for quick temperature rise.
- Dual Voltage Versatility: A key feature, allowing the unit to operate on both 110V and 240V electrical supplies. This makes it incredibly flexible for use on various job sites, from industrial settings with 110V site power to locations with standard 240V mains. Power consumption is minimal (300-330 Watts) as the electricity is primarily used to power the fan.
- Direct-Fired Efficiency: Operates as a direct-fired heater, meaning all the heat generated from the combustion of propane is released directly into the space. This makes it highly efficient in terms of fuel-to-heat conversion, with a fuel consumption of approximately 6.66 kg per hour at maximum output.
- Robust & Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh working conditions, the heater features a heavy-duty, often stainless-steel casing and a sturdy design. This ensures longevity and reliable performance even in challenging industrial environments.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Designed with multiple safety mechanisms for secure operation:
- Overheat Thermostat: Automatically shuts off the heater if it reaches unsafe internal temperatures, preventing damage and accidents.
- Motor Thermal Protection: Protects the fan motor from overheating and malfunction.
- Safety Gas Valve with Thermocouple: This crucial safety device monitors the flame; if the flame extinguishes or the gas tube cracks, the thermocouple will automatically shut off the gas supply, preventing gas leaks.
- Regulator with Safety Valve: Included with the heater, this ensures safe and regulated gas flow from the propane cylinder.
- Portability and Mobility: Fitted with large, integrated wheels and sturdy handles, the BLP103 is easy to transport and manoeuvre across job sites, even over uneven surfaces.
- Simple Manual Controls: Features straightforward manual ignition and adjustable heat settings, allowing for quick and hassle-free operation without complex electronic interfaces.
- Includes Gas Hose and Regulator: Comes complete with a 1.5-meter gas hose and a regulator, providing everything needed for immediate connection to a standard propane gas cylinder.
Important Note on Ventilation: As a direct-fired heater, the Master BLP103 consumes oxygen and produces combustion by-products (carbon dioxide, and potentially carbon monoxide if not properly ventilated). Adequate and continuous ventilation of the heated area is absolutely necessary to prevent oxygen depletion and the build-up of harmful gases. This heater is therefore best suited for well-ventilated spaces or outdoor use.
Applications
The Master BLP103 is widely used for:
- Construction Sites: Providing temporary heating for large areas, warming workers, and aiding in drying processes (e.g., plaster, concrete) in well-ventilated spaces.
- Warehouses & Factories: Maintaining comfortable working temperatures in large industrial buildings.
- Workshops & Garages: Heating large open workshops.
- Agriculture: Warming barns, greenhouses (with care for ventilation), and other agricultural buildings.
- Events & Marquees: Providing rapid heating for temporary event structures with adequate ventilation.
- Outdoor Heating: Effective for open or semi-open outdoor areas.
