What is Your Heat Source?

Industry- wide, it's as follows:

80% heat exchanger
8% Propane
6% Kerosene / Oil
(The remainder is split between "no heat source" and electric.)

We use hx.. but ours needs a small repair.

HX: i dont know how HOT it gets but it is fairly hot to the touch...

We use two heat sources for our Heat Exchanger:

1. Engine Exhaust -Stainless tubing insulated with hi-temp fiberglass tubing

2. Blower exhaust to limit heat rise @ 230°.

do you have any pics, sounds like a pretty cool setup...

Propane litlle giant 2HT

Powerclean Freedom XT uses an engine coolant hx, exhaust hx, blower exhaust hx, backed by a little giant 3HT high PSI. When cleaning tile @ 1200psi the exchangers have a hard time keeping the heat. When I get into a bad resi or the greasy restaurant, I fire up the Little Giant and can keep 250*+ all day long.

@ GARY T: that sounds like a lot of heat you have there...

Lester;

Thanks.

Info is on the web site.

Kerosene,don't think I would ever change

One HX & one propane

I think heat exchangers are one of the best thing that has happened to the industry. They avoid the cost and inconvenience of propane.

For those that lived it and for those that know.

Kerosene. Just can't be beat.

We make all three now:

Propane, Oil-Fired and Heat Exchange

To my knowledge, we're the only manufacturer who does.

Each has a strength and a weakness.
