| Heat from a candle The Kandle Heeter Candle Holder is a ceramic radiator suspended above a candle flame on a solid steel frame. The steel and ceramic radiator collects and concentrates the heat from the candle flame, becomes hot but not burning, and gently radiates the Heat from the candle into your room. Invented and manufactured in Fortuna, California by Doyle Doss from solid steel and ceramic components the Kandle Heeter Candle Holder is just over 9 inches tall and just under 7 inches wide and deep. It weighs over four pounds and ships in its own 200 lb test cardboard box. The steel and ceramic radiator is comprised of three nested ceramic modulators held together and separated by a solid steel inner core. The steel inner core is positioned directly above the candle and is driven to very high temperatures by the flame. The nested ceramic modulators transfer and moderate the high temperature of the inner core, one to another, until the outer ceramic modulator becomes a gently radiating thermal body that releases the concentrated heat from the candle into your home or office. If you burn candles, it only makes environmental and economical practical sense to capture the heat that is normally lost to the ceiling and use this heat in your own environment. A typical 4.5 oz. jar candle contains over 1,000 Btu’s. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
