Abstract

Wall mounted, vented, gas fired space heaters now being manufactured are surveyed. An analysis of the market requirements for such a heater is presented. Recent technical developments in gas heating are summarized; a new type of grid gas burner is investigated.

Factors important to design of space heaters are discussed. From these, a heater design is evolved suitable for the majority of the residences being constructed today. The appearance is developed to suit contemporary architecture.
