PROPANE HEATER

android app to remotely control is "Feit Electric"

• All page with subgroup Plugs
  • when "OFF" is displayed, that indicates current state is off (not press to turn off)
  • when no wording is displayed, that indicate current state is on (current flowing)
• long press to open page with schedule and timer
  • again "Power OFF" is showing current state on details page with schedule and timer
  • on this page "Power ON" is displayed when current is flowing
  • when "Power OFF" is displayed, click "Timer" adjust time amount and click Confirm still shows "Power OFF" and "The device will be ON after 1 minute" then the state changes to "Power ON"
    • first time I tried it, the heater was energized, but starter was clicking like there is no gas flow.
    • I then manually changed state to off then on and gas valve opened so maybe i just didn't wait long enough?
    • I did it a second time and I just hadn't waited long enough

Use Per Hour

EMPTY TANK IS 18 LBS
"FULL" TANK IS 36 LBS OF WHICH 18 LBS IS TANK AND 18 LBS IS PROPANE

1 GALLON OF PROPANE ~= 91,500 BTUS
1 LB OF PROPANE ~= 21,529 BTUS

"FULL" TANK IS APX 21,529 BTUS/LB * 18 LB ~= 387,529 BTUS

OLD HEATER I THREW OUT: IF HEATER ON FULL IS APX 60,000 BTU / HR (AND PRESSURE DIDN'T MATTER), HEATER WOULD RUN FOR 387,529 BTU / 60,000 BTU/HR ~= 6.45 HR
