Carbon Fibre
New Eco-Friendly Patio Heaters
Ever since the release of patio heater, there have always been select groups that argued against the use of them. The biggest reason for complaining about them is that they damage the environment due to the way the heat is generated. Other arguments against them are that they waste alot of heat and energy in general.
The biggest complaint that they damage the environment is true. Common patio heaters generate heat by burning gas. Because the gas is burned, as with everything that burns, carbon dioxide is created which causes damage to the environment.
The second complaint that they waste heat is also true. Although they are designed with a mushroom shaped top so that heat is reflected back down, rather than rising, a lot of heat is still wasted in the process.
However, with all those problems in mind, a heating company called Chillchaser has created a brand new range of patio heaters that are aimed at resolving all of the above issues.
Instead of buring gas to generate heat, Chillchaser use a new method of creating warmth. They use carbon fibre rods which are able to generate heat. The advantages of using this new form of heat generating is that aboslutly no CO2 is emitted in the process. Despite this sounding like these new patio heaters have no damaging effects for the environment, they do slightly. Due to the patio heaters not using gas, they do need electricty to power the rods, however, the energy they need still means that these new patio heaters release more than 50% less emissions compared to standard patio heaters.
This new heating method also combat the second biggest complaint that they waste alot of heat. Carbon fibre heating is able to create more focused heat which means that less heat is actually wasted.
The final advantage Chillchasers new heaters have is that they are fitted with an infrared sensor. The sensor detects movement and turns the heater off when no movement is detected. This feature means that less heat is wasted if the heater is ever forgotten about.
From the looks of these new patio heaters, Chillchaser have managed to revolutionse patio heaters and many eco-friendly people won’t be able to complain about these heaters. I suppose that the only complain that there would be is that there is no need for patio heaters in the first place, which Chillchaser can’t solve.
I would love to see how Chillchaser would improve a standarddehumidifier; maybe build in a weather station to it, that would solve two problems in one.
Environmentally Friendly Patio Heaters Released
Despite the nights getting darker and the weather getting colder, we still want to try and enjoy as much of the outside as possible. Luckily, there has been a brand new range of electric patio heatershave been released that will help you do this.
Chillchaser, a UK based company that was featured on Dragons Den, recently released a new range of patio heaters. The 3 are called Zeus, Neptune and Poseidon, each one coming at different price ranges and with different features.
What makes these patio heaters so much better than others is their new style and great range of features. These new heaters look nothing like any other conventional patio heaters. The design of these new patio heaters is so different because they don’t use the conventional gas heating system that regular heaters use. Each of the heaters use a new carbon fibre heating system which emits more focused heat and emits absolutely no CO2 gasses. Each of the heating tubes are replaceable and offer up to 8,000 hours of heat, pretty impressive.
Other great features that are included in Chillchasers’ patio heaters include an infrared sensor which detects movement and turns the heater on or off. They also come with a safety tip over feature which turns the heater off automatically if it’s knocked over.
The first of the three and the cheapest is the Neptune. Alongside the features named above, the Neptune heater also comes with a dome light fitted to the top which offers 360 degree lighting. This means that you can keep out of the dark while staying warm. At £299, it’s not a bad price for the huge range of features available.
The middle of the range heater is the Zeus. The Zeus patio heater is very similar to the Neptune because it also has a light fitted to the top of the unit. The only difference between the Zues and the Netune is that the Zeus light doesn’t offer 360 degree lighting. Costing £449, I’d rather settle for the Neptune.
The most expensive of the 3 heaters is the Poseidon which isn’t actually waterproof, despite it’s water based name. What makes the Poseidon the most expensive and the coolest is that it has a media player at the top of the unit with a 7 inch screen and built in speakers. With a price tag of £849, you’re paying alot for the entertainment value.
If only they released an indoor version which would replace standard portable heaters or fan heatersas they are pretty clunky.
