Claims20
A heater comprising:
- heating means for heating gas in at least one heating chamber;
- wherein the at least one heating chamber comprises a plurality of heating compartments each being operable in a heating operation to provide heat in a respective heating direction, wherein the heating direction of each heating compartment is different from the heating direction of the one other heating compartment, and wherein the heating means comprises a respective heating element for each heating compartment, the heating operation of at least one of the heating elements being independently controllable of the heating operation of at least one other of the heating elements.
A gas burner assembly for a heater comprising a burner plate having a plurality of flame outlets, a first combustion compartment connected to a first set of said plurality of flame outlets to form a first burner, and a second combustion chamber connected to a second set of combustion outlets to form a second burner, a first mixing tube connected to the first combustion chamber for supplying combustion gas to the first combustion chamber, and a second mixing tube connected to the second combustion chamber for supplying a combustion gas to the second combustion chamber.
A control system for a heater wherein the heater comprises at least one heating chamber having a plurality of heating compartments, and a plurality of heating elements which includes a respective heating element for each heating compartment,
- wherein the control system controls a heating operation of each heating element, the control system including:
- a main control for controlling the operation of at least one of the heating elements;
- at least one secondary control for selectively controlling the operation of at least one other of the heating elements.
