KBE5L
The features of the KBE5L, mixed with the size and the price, make it the best all-round heater. Portable, like the rest, via the power inverter from your vehicle. Burning each: Kerosene, #1 and #2 diesel, bio-diesel (20%) cleanly and efficiently. The VAL6 KBE5L is a radiant-only heater, meaning you won’t have a whirlwind of dust blowing around your workspace. It has the extra fuel-reclamation exhaust visor, a high/low switch for added control, and a fuel pre-heater built in. Throw in the 15 gallon tank, and the minimal 0.75 gal/hr intake on low, and 0.9 gal/hr on high, makes the KBE5L the most popular model to date.
The KBE5L is so efficient that there is a 100% recovery of heat from the fuel burnt, as well as no smell, burning eyes, headaches, nausea, or carbon monoxide to worry about.
Recommended Uses
