I've got one in my 30 x 50, 30K BTU propane. I had great hopes for it, but found out on this site that I hadn't prepared my building well enough ( insulation and such). I know that with the propane model you need a dehumidifier, moisture is a byproduct. Also make sure you have an oxygen...

Mine hasn't been named yet but there is a slogan already, "Home of appearing projects and disappearing cases". Cases referring to my favorite brand, Budweiser.

I have installed a phase converter before and I guarantee you it will be cheaper to change the motor on the compressor. If you plan on buying more equipment that runs on three phase then you should consider the converter, if not swap it out.

I do leave the heater running even when I'm not in the shop. I turn down the thermostat to low. I usually wear some light coveralls when I work in the shop but it would be great to leave those hanging up on the wall. I'll scrap the heat exchanger idea, what steps do I need to take next?

Well Franz, I don't seem to be that lacking in communication skills. After all you clearly understood my last post. Maybe my communication skills are improving, now you can work on your spelling skills. It's spelled I N S T E A D. I also hope you have a prosperous 2008. Thank You for...

Heating the party room was not the reason for trying this. I was curious if the set up would add more heat to the building. Franz I appreciate your concern for my finances but until I appoint you as my financial advisor please don't worry yourself about my check book. You have shown more...

It was killing me not knowing if it would really work so I tried it. I made a smaller model of what I was thinking of and it worked. I think all it would be good for is just to distribute the heat some where else in the shop though. I took a 1 foot long 12 inch diameter pipe and coiled the...

I insulated the building with a product called double bubble. It's basically two layers of bubble wrap with foil backing on both sides. It's less then 3/8" thick and does and excellent job. I also thought of the moisture in the shop so I run a dehumidifier when I turn the heater on in the fall.

I did some research today and was thinking of making a heat exchanger. I would like to make my heater do double duty. I was curious if I could use the ventless heater and make a small boiler set up. I could be in outer space by thinking this would work but I've always got some hair brained...

I have a 30x50 shop with a 30K btu LP ventless wall heater, I know that it's not going to heat the shop up as warm as my house but I would like it reach about 50-60 degrees. I have R-13 insulation in walls and ceiling and an insulated 16' door. Is it possible to make a heat exchanger and let...
