Indirect Fired Oil Heater Solutions from BABFAR

The BABFAR Difference: Quality We Control Sets Us Apart

Often it is what you don’t see that can make the difference when it comes to high quality temporary heating solutions. That is why BABFAR only uses the highest quality indirect fired oil heaters designed and built to ensure that positive pressurization, fresh air supply, and reliable temperature control are consistently maintained throughout use.

These four essential functions are instrumental in ensuring safety and environmental control. To break it down simply:

Positive pressurization cuts back on the number of airborne contaminants that make their way through the heaters, helping to keep your air cleaner.
Because combustion is contained in a burn chamber, the exhaust is vented through a stack on the heater and is then isolated from the heated air that is being delivered into the building.
Fresh outdoor air cuts down on the amount of carbon monoxide build-up that is often found with heaters that operate using indoor air.
And, reliable temperature control will keep the event space at a comfortable and constant temperature, despite what the temperature is outdoors.

TEMPORARY INDIRECT FIRED OIL HEATERS FAQ

What is the difference between direct and indirect fire?

Direct fired heaters are a unit style that blends the combustion products with additional fresh air that then pushes all the air into the enclosure being heated. Since our heating units need 100% outside air, 15% of that air supports the combustion process. Then 85% of the outside air is drawn around the super-heated combustion chamber, blended with the 15%, and pushed into the building. A direct fired heater is 99% efficient, and no heat is wasted.

An indirect fired heater is similar in that it has a combustion chamber, but the combustion chamber is separate from the outside air being drawn by the super-heated chamber. The air for the combustion chamber is exhausted to the outside and not captured to heat the project. The efficiency of an indirect fired heater is around 70-75%.

How do I choose an oil heater?

Oil heaters are chosen for a construction project as a last resort if natural gas or propane is unavailable. Their inefficiency compared to our propane or natural gas heaters make their use in construction less desirable. Our oil fired heaters are more for non-construction-related events where the general public is in attendance or if you are heating a place that has sleeping quarters. Examples are The Boston Marathon, College Commencements, Operational Fire Houses, or Dormitories.
