Three Portable Indirect-Fired Heater Options for the Equipment Rental Industry – Changing the Status Quo
At Cantherm Distributors, we understand the demands of the equipment rental industry. Whether you’re outfitting a construction site, event tent, or industrial workspace, your heating equipment choice can significantly impact your operation’s efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Here, we introduce three of our top-tier portable indirect-fired diesel heaters that are set to change the status quo in the rental space: the EC 300, PHOEN 400, and JUMBO 600.
Let’s delve into how these models stack up against the commonly used 400,000 BTU units in terms of performance, build quality, and warranty.
Performance Comparison
EC 300
- Heat Input: 293,982 BTU (88.0% Efficient)
- Fuel Consumption: 2.17 GPH
- Airflow: 2,531 CFM
The nominal heating power of the EC 300 is lower than that of standard “400,000 BTU” units, but it compensates with higher efficiency. Its four-loop heat exchanger achieves up to a 13% increase in efficiency compared to competitors’ models, translating to major savings on fuel costs for similar heat production, making it a strong contender for smaller to medium-sized areas where precision heating is key. Add our exclusive Combat Kit option for improved portability and rugged durability.
PHOEN 400
- Heat Input: 411,905 BTU (high stage) / 272,189 BTU (low stage) (86.0% Efficient)
- Fuel Consumption: 2.97 gal/h (high) / 1.96 gal/h (low)
- Airflow: 3,250 CFM
The PHOEN 400 is designed for versatility with its dual-stage output, heavy-duty frame with single lifting-point bail, 57 US gal (215 litre) onboard fuel tank, and duct-ability, providing vast flexibility for various applications. Its efficiency stands at a class-leading 85.0-86.0%, offering a compelling alternative to the standard 400,000 BTU heaters when combined with its ability to adjust output based on need, thus optimizing fuel use and heat distribution.
JUMBO 600
- Heat Input: 593,367 BTU (89.8% Efficient)
- Fuel Consumption: 4.23g/h
- Airflow: 7,063 CFM
The JUMBO 600 steps up the game with efficiency pushing 90% and significantly higher heat output and airflow, making it ideal for large-scale applications where robust heating is crucial. It’s designed for those scenarios where the standard 400,000 BTU might fall short. To top it all off, it’s the largest indirect-fired heater on the market that still runs on a standard 120V 15A breaker!
