Abstract
A heating apparatus for delivering heated air to an enclosure comprising a casing with at least two compartments separated by a panel. A burner with an arcuate profile is located within a first compartment of the casing for burning a combustible fuel-air mixture delivered thereto and producing products of combustion. A heat exchanger is located within a second compartment of the casing and has an opposed inlet and outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the burner through an aperture in the panel. The heat exchanger receives the products of combustion. A blower is located within the casing for directing a flow of air across the heat exchanger into the enclosure. Through the heat exchanger heat is transferred from the products of combustion to the air. An exhaust system is in fluid communication with the outlet and includes a vent for exhausting the products of combustion from the casing. The vent is contained within the casing.
