The third part of our guide series is about chimney oil fan heaters, also called indirect oil heaters. Whether in building shells, in the warehouse, workshop or in agriculture \u2013 thanks to this heating system, no professional has to freeze at work even in indoor spaces with limited ventilation. Because the big advantage of chimney heaters is that their warm air contains neither water vapour nor combustion exhaust gases. With their both dry and exhaust-free heat, they are therefore perfectly suited for indoor use.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

So if you want to generate clean and at the same time dry heat, we recommend using indirect oil heaters. Because unlike direct oil heaters, no exhaust fumes or water vapour enter the room air. Instead, both are directed outside through the chimney. We explain how this heater exactly works, where it can be used best and what needs to be taken into account when it comes to its thermal efficiency.<\/p>\n

Chimney oil heaters<\/a> \u2013 how they work<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Indirect heaters with a chimney completely separate the air to be heated from the combustion chamber. The air is heated by directing it past the enlarged area of the combustion chamber, the heat exchanger. Although the fan, which blows the warm air into the room to be heated, also provides the required combustion air, the combustion products are nevertheless discharged outside through a chimney \u2013 the significant feature of the \u2018indirect\u2019 ones.<\/p>\n

How chimney oil heaters are ideally used<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Indirect heaters are ideal for rooms where limited ventilation is possible, but where they should still be used by both people and animals alike. They are also a good choice for accelerating the drying of buildings and in rooms where there is a fire hazard due to the presence of flammable substances.<\/p>\n

Chimney oil heaters<\/a> have a somewhat lower thermal efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The efficiency of indirect oil heating devices with chimney is slightly lower than that of direct oil heating devices without chimney. Since indirect chimney oil heaters, depending on the model, discharge approx. 5 to 8 % of the heating energy together with the exhaust gases and water vapour through the chimney to the outside, their efficiency compared to direct oil heaters without chimney is only approx. 92 to 95 % instead of 100 %.<\/p>\n
