A Feasibility Study of the Potential for the Improvement of Bunker Heaters

Abstract

The object of this program was to investigate the feasibility of a development of a new U. S. Army Bunker/Tent Heater. Space heaters have a primary function to convert varied fuels into heat with maximum efficiency and as a secondary function of use in cooking food in the U. S. Army. Present heaters do not incorporate the latest combustion technology for safety and improved efficiency. As a result of this program, several recommendations have been presented and possible solutions to present problems are discussed and summarized in this report.
