Propane Portable Gas Heater
Posted: 04 Feb 2023, 16:22
We have a couple of nearly full 47k propane bottles surplus to use in our stableyard.
The thought occurred to me to take them both home and connect them to a portable gas heater in our conservatory. The bottles will stay outside.
Here's the problem. Our conservatory heater is 28-30 mbar butane ONLY. Unlikely to be safe on 37 mbar propane. So how comes in our campers' a fridge, or propex or a stove will accept either?
Ive converted kitchen cookers' from natural gas to propane before using different jets.
Can l convert the portable gas heater to propane? Or will using an adjustable regulator solve the problem ...the type used on roofing torch equipment.....to reduce the pressure to 28-30mbar.
