Warming up
A NEW, free-standing in-cab, flameless catelytic heater is being marketed by Ross James Co Ltd, Walsall, West Midlands.
It will run on bottled butane or propane, but burns at less than half the temperature of a conventional gas fire. This is said to make it safer, as the risk of igniting inflammable material is reduced. Catalytic combustion produces heat with an infra-red content free of smoke, smell and, most important, carbon monoxide.
Grille and surround weigh 1.3kg (2.91b) and measures 190mm x 215mm x 150mm (7.5in x 8.5in x 2in). It has a fuel consumption rate of 35grams/h (0.081b/h) for a heat output of 1500 Btu/h (450watts).
And cooking down
A SMALL cooling fan is the latest addition to the range of commercial vehicle accessories from Hatch Components of Fromlingham. Standing only 23cm (9in) high with a blade diameter of 16cm (6.3in) it can be fitted either to the dash or the roof complete with its 90° oscillating mechanism and separate on/ off control. It costs £23 plus VAT.
Workshop airline
LAWRENCE EDWARDS and Co Ltd of Kidderminster, Worcs, has just announced a new compressor.
Compact, and weighing only 55kg (1211b), it can easily be moved around the workshop on its rubber wheels. A single or 3-phase Ihp electric motor provides the power. There are two outlet points which can be used at the same time — output is fully adjustable up to a maximum pressure of 1034kN/sqm (150psi).
Supplied with an airline, tyre chuck, 25.4cm x 61cm (10in x 24in) air receiver and an automatic stop/start control with a filter/regulator, it is priced at £289.
