1.What is patio heater?

A burner on top of a pole, burns liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane or butane, and directs the flames against a perforated metal screen. Heat is radiated from the surface of the screen during a circular pattern around the appliance.

A reflector atop the burner reflects heat that might be otherwise lost upwards. this is often because the reflecting hood is typically silvered which makes it a poor absorber of warmth but excellent at reflecting infrared back.

This reduces the quantity of warmth lost by conduction as silvered surfaces won’t absorb infrared. The chimenea is an alternate to the patio heater for home use, which burns wood rather than gas.

8.What is the Function of a thermocouple in a patio heater?

A thermocouple is a safety device in a heater.

It consists of two wires made of different metals and the wires are joined at one end forming a joint.

It serves to ignite the fire and keep the gas valve open by creating electric voltage in the pilot when the temperature is higher and to block the gas valve when there is no such heat.

If the pilot lights out, the voltage will drop in the thermocouple and the gas line will be closed.

When the thermocouple is out of order which may be due to any reason, the gas valve cannot function.

Its main job is to keep the furnace’s burner lit if not working correctly, the gas will surround the furnace without truly lighting and this can be very dangerous.

Thermocouple breaks the gas transmission as soon as it doesn’t sense a spark, avoiding an explosion or leakage to occur.

The replacement of the thermocouple should be scheduled beforehand and kept in check to avoid any danger or problem.

9.How can gas valve blockage in a patio Heater be cleared?

If the thermocouple in a heater is not working properly the heater will not have a strong pilot, and in some cases, may not even have a pilot at all.

A gas valve blockage can be cleared by cleaning or replacing the thermocouple.

A thermocouple can be cleaned by using the softer side of a sponge.

It should be cleaned between the threads of the screw that connects the thermocouple to the control valve of your system.

The cleaning of the thermocouple will clear the blockage in the gas valve, and it will start working again.

The valve itself may have simply worn out or may be damaged due to outflow or submersion. You can also then try replacing a gas pipe control valve it is a permanent repair once correctly detected.

10.If the gas valve is blocked can the heater still work?

No, the blockage of the gas valve will break the gas flow to the pilot.

If the gas valve is blocked, the furnace will shut down immediately and the heater will not work. Problem creating gas valve can cause an alarming situation and should be treated.

Without gas supply, there will be no flame and hence no heat will be produced. Gas valve blockage or failure can lead to creating a fire or explosion.

If there may be any problem with the gas pipe or valve, gas will not reach the burner in any way until the pipe or valve whatever is damaged, is repaired, or fixed.

However, gas valves should be changed every ten years for the durability and effective working of the heater.
