Description
The mobile electrical space heaters have been designed
to heat industrial and/or civil places such as warehouses,
building yards, shops, homes, and public places, and can
be used in damp and wet environments.
Air is taken from the environment through a fan and
heated by armour-plated resistance and then released
back into the environment to be heated.
Space heaters are made of steel sheets and provided with
a double wall to enhance the machine efficiency and to
limit the external walls temperatures,
They are also predisposed only for use on the floor.
