Patio Heaters
Wednesday, February 23, 2011

A patio heater also called a mushroom or umbrella heater is an appliance for generating radiant heat for outdoor use. A burner on top of a post, burns LPG or propane, and directs the flames against a perforated metal screen. Heat is radiated from the surface of the screen in a circular pattern around the appliance. A reflector atop the burner reflects heat that would be otherwise lost upwards. The chimenea is an alternative to the patio heater for home use, which burns wood instead of gas.

A newer type of Patio Heater is the InfraRed Patio Heater, which although claimed to be environmentally friendly, use grid electricity. Grid electricity in the UK is 2.9 times more carbon intensive than gas. Patio heaters have become popular with bars and restaurants since they extend the day and the season for their customers to sit outdoors. This increase in the popularity of the patio heater has led to concerns over their environmental effects.
