Claims16
A heating apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a flame simulation compartment and a viewing window for viewing said compartment and flames simulated therein;
- a flame simulator for simulating flames in said flame simulation compartment;
- an electrical heater unit adjacent the flame simulation compartment, the heater unit including:
- a heater, an air inlet, an air inlet channel connecting the air inlet to the heater, an air outlet, an air outlet channel connecting the heater to the air outlet, and a fan for drawing air into the air inlet, to then flow through the air inlet channel past the heater, through the air outlet channel and then through the air outlet, wherein the cross-sectional area of the air outlet channel in the planes perpendicular to the direction of the flow of air therethrough increases with increased distance from the heater, and wherein the air outlet channel transitions from having a cross section matching an outlet from the heater to an air outlet channel slot having a greater longitudinal or horizontal dimension and smaller vertical dimension.
