Abstract

A direct-fired, gas-fueled heater for greenhouse use. The heater has a base with an airflow assembly disposed within the housing and configured so as to draw a flow of ambient air into the heater through the air inlet matrix, to circulate airflows within the housing, and to direct heated air out of the heater through an air housing exit. Also disposed within the housing is a heat chamber, the heat chamber including an outer wrapper, an upper insert and a lower insert. The lower insert has a lower insert slot having a lower insert slot area and is configured to allow passage of a quenching airflow therethrough to join and mix with a combustion discharge and dilution airflows circulated within the heater. Reduced emissions of certain combustion byproducts are realized.
