Vent-free heater with environmental sensors

A method of manufacturing a vent-free heater for installation in high altitudes, comprising:

• installing a combustion region in a heater, the combustion region configured for fuel combustion;
• installing a fuel supply component in operable engagement with the combustion region, the fuel supply component to supply fuel to the combustion region;
• and
• installing an environmental detector in the heater, the environmental detector comprising:
• a flameless sensor to detect an ambient level of a constituent of the atmosphere and generates a signal indicative of the ambient level of the constituent;
• and
• a sensor interface to control at least a portion of the fuel supply component that allows for provision of fuel to the combustion region, based at least upon the signal from the sensor.

A method of using a vent-free heater for installation in high altitudes, comprising:

• providing fuel to a fuel supply component in operable engagement with a combustion region, resulting in the fuel supply component supplying fuel to the combustion region;
• causing fuel to be combusted in the combustion region;
• and
• providing power to an environmental detector disposed in the heater, the environmental detector comprising:
• a flameless sensor to detect an ambient level of a constituent of the atmosphere and generates a signal indicative of the ambient level of the constituent;
• and
• a sensor interface to control at least a portion of the fuel supply component that allows for provision of fuel to the combustion region, based at least upon the signal from the sensor.
