<strong>The</strong> efficiency of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) heaters is rather<br />
low, as they generate long wave radiation. <strong>The</strong>se heaters only<br />
work well for people seated very close to them, not at any distance.<br />
Due to convection, much of the energy disperses without<br />
reaching those sitting further away. <strong>The</strong>se devices also bear<br />
several safety risks. People sitting outside in a restaurant or<br />
café will be disturbed by having a LPG tank next to them. LPG<br />
heaters also generate combustion odours. <strong>UFO</strong>-E and <strong>UFO</strong>-I<br />
heaters are produced in accordance with the IP34 (Ingress Protection)<br />
Safety Classification code. All electrical components are<br />
insulated against water, and the anodized surface, aluminum<br />
reflector, and stainless steel interior parts are highly corrosion<br />
resistant. <strong>The</strong>refore, even if it rains, you can safely use these<br />
heaters outdoors. Please note that remote controlled model is<br />
not intended for outdoor use.<br />
<strong>The</strong> table below contains information regarding the heating<br />
areas and mounting distances for outdoor use of <strong>UFO</strong> heaters.<br />
Because the outdoor heating area will vary depending on geographical<br />
conditions such as outside temperatures and wind<br />
speeds, these are given as minimum and maximum ranges.<br />
Although the infrared rays of <strong>UFO</strong> heaters are not affected by<br />
the wind or ambient temperature, people will feel colder in windy<br />
weather. When temperature loss is high, more energy is required.<br />
Some tests suggest that 150 to 300 watts of energy per square<br />
meter (15–30 watts/sq. ft.) is enough to efficiently heat outdoors<br />
with a <strong>UFO</strong>.<br />

Note: <strong>The</strong> values in cells B, C, and D in the table above were determined in a windless environment. <strong>The</strong>se values may vary depending on the environmental conditions of<br />
the area to be heated.
