heaters
The CH-Series of portable heaters from Temp-Air are designed for versatility
with higher discharge temperatures and comparatively low air capacities.
Available from 300,000 to 1-million Btu per hr, these units are well

heating applications. Installed either inside or outside, all CH-Series
heaters draw 100-percent fresh air through the intake, and discharge
tempered air controlled by a remote thermostat, while automatically
cycling from low- to high-fire to maintain the desired temperature.
