Space Heater Convective 90,000 British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTUH) (SHC 90K)

Abstract

The SHC 90K is a self-powered, thermoelectric heater that operates outside the tent and provides forced hot air circulation without the need for an external power supply (i.e., field generator). The SHC 90K generates its own electrical power, without any moving parts, through the use of thermoelectric modules located inside the combustion chamber that convert waste heat into electricity. The internal generation of electrical power gives the SHC 90K the added capabilities of single switch operation, forced hot air circulation, outside the tent operation, completely automatic safety and temperature controls, built-in troubleshooting diagnostics, operation without the need for a fire guard, and significantly higher combustion efficiencies, all without the need for an external power supply. The heater burns multi-fuels and operates in extreme cold temperatures down to -60oF.
