Heat Wagon Installation Angle

This shows the heater pointed in the plants general direction, which is the lower point of elevation in the structure. Since heat naturally wants to rise pointing the initially hot air to the lower point will help create a natural convection current. There will be fans running as well to help this natural air mixing to avoid stratification.

Another advantage to having the heater “inside” is as long as the thermostat is operational there is no risk of the fuel freezing or gelling since the will be kept well above the critical 32F (0C or 273K) temperature.

While the thermostat does include gradations and numbers, it is important to use these as suggestion and take the time to set it up with an independent thermostat for accuracy.
