| THE SUN GLO STORY
The original Sun Glo heater was designed in 1961 by Edwin J. Cowan, a leading U.S. infrared heating appliance engineer. A unique demand existed in California for decorative, yet practical, gas fired heaters. Mr. Cowan developed the circular radiant heater primarily for use in restaurants, hotels and country clubs.
Since that time the basic design has been modified for a wide variety of uses. The Sun Glo heater is now a welcome feature at popular resorts and hotels, fine restaurants and cafes, swimming pool and spa areas, and ski lodges.
The permanent, PSA265 post mounted heater is fired with natural gas. The A244 ceiling suspended model is supplied complete with an attractive sculpted steel frame, and it is available with automatic off/on control for effortless operation. The portable propane A270 model is the heater of choice for the rental industry, and it is easily stored away when not in use. The A270 is now available with a direct spark ignition.
The quiet radiant warmth of these 40,000 and 50,000 BTU/HR patio heaters has been enjoyed throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand for over thirty years. When people want the very best, they choose Sun Glo heaters.
WHERE TO USE PATIO HEATERS
Sun Glo heaters are also used for frost protection, for warehouse, garage and shop heating. On a rental basis for outdoor weddings, banquets and other social events, Sun Glo portable propane patio heaters add a whole new dimension in comfort.
WHO WILL BE INTERESTED IN SUN GLO HEATERS?
For NEW construction locations ... contractors, architects and landscape specialists find this new decorative heating appliance a welcome addition to their projects.
For application to existing restaurants and hotels with partially covered, or outdoor facilities our various Sun Glo heater designs provide practical warmth at a low cost, while creating a convivial atmosphere in extended seating areas.
EFFECTIVE RANGE (COVERAGE):
The comforting warmth from a single Sun Glo Patio Radiant Heater will cover a 12' to 20' circle. The Sun Glo is a "comfort heater," and the coverage is the area in which people will receive a comforting amount of warmth. Some persons require more warmth or less warmth than others to be comfortable and will either turn the heater up or down, or move closer or farther away as they desire.
WHERE TO LOCATE PATIO HEATERS:
Sun Glo Heaters naturally attract people to their infrared warm glow. Locate heaters where people can readily gather, sit or stand comfortably, and where furnishings can easily be moved to best accommodate the warmth.
Some examples:
• Outdoor restaurant patios and waiting areas.
• Swimming pool decks and lounging areas around hotel pools.
• Suspend heaters above or around spas and hot tubs.
• Seating areas around concessions and commercial sales outlets.
• Sporting events, social events, media events.
GENERAL RULES FOR LOCATING HEATERS:
A Sun Glo Patio Heater can operate effectively to maintain a comfort level even in completely exposed areas, although a weather protected area is desirable. Weather and wind protection allows the surrounding air to be warmed and used to enhance the direct radiant warming effects. When adding heaters to existing construction, due consideration should be given to locating the heaters as near as possible to a gas supply line. For elevations above 2000 feet consult your sales representative or the factory for specific instructions. Always locate Sun Glo Patio Heaters so specified clearances to combustible materials are maintained. Clearance from top of reflector - 18" Clearance from sides of reflector - 24"
WHEN MULTIPLE HEATERS ARE USED:
When more than one heater is used in an area, it is generally preferable to locate them close together. Multiple heaters located on 8' to 12' centers give overlapping heat patterns. This means more total heat reaches peoples in-between units, and will provide comfort in weather even cooler than possible with a single heater.
HOW MANY HEATERS TO USE:
Restaurants and cafes generally use groups of heaters in their outdoor patio dining areas. The numbers may range from one to twenty-five units, or the number required to cover the desired seating areas. The circle of warmth generated by a single heater is sufficient for most spa areas and that intimate patio. Large pool and recreational areas benefit from extended use when several heaters are placed where people naturally gather.
