TEN versions of Pak-a-Way fully-automatic oil-fired space heaters, with outputs of from 200.000 to 1,500,000 Btu/hour, are now being made by The Package Heater Co. Ltd. with the introduction of a new model. This, the 300, has an output Of 300,000 Btu/hour.
A number of improvements have been incorporated in all the models, including increased motor sizes to permit use with larger ductwork systems. Kingsway burners, incorporating a Shell combustion head, fire into the stainless -steel combustion chambers used in all cases.
The makers claim that these heaters can be installed in as little as 24 hours and require no boilerhouse or brick flue. Extremely fast warm-up is also claimed — full output being reached within a few minutes. Another advantage is the adaptability of the heaters—they are easily moved and resited.
