Eskabe Gas Heater Features:
Does not require Electricity.
The controls are conveniently located on the top. Included is a push-button piezo igniter to light
the pilot.
On the DVEL 8 - 8k btu model, the control knob allows you to select Off, Low or High heat settings and
the heater will stay in that mode until you change it.
The DVEL 12 11k and DVEL 20 17k btu models both have modulating thermostats. With other brands of
thermostat-controlled heaters, the thermostat will turn the unit on and off in order to maintain a
fairly even room temperature. A modulating thermostat does more than that. Rather than just turning
the heater on and off at it's maximum output, a modulating thermostat increases and decreases (modulates)
the flame height inside the burner in an attempt to better match the room's heating requirements. As the
room heats up and approaches the thermostat's set point, the heater will decrease the flame height to
decrease fuel consumption and heat output. By doing this, Eskabe (DVEL 12 11k and DVEL 20 17k btu units only) heaters
can reduce fuel consumption and keep the room at a more even temperature, compared to other heaters that just have
on/off thermostats.
