Talk:Laser heater

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These home heaters are able to clean themselves and shut off when there is no oxygen left in the room, making the risk of CO poisoning very low.

If there's no oxygen left in the room, you're likely to have a more pressing concern than CO poisoning.

That is a tricky question. I'm not a doctor but I doubt that. Anyway I'll rephrase it ' when there is no oxygen left for the burner to burn. '

When there is no oxygen left in any room the person will feel that he / she needs to go outdoors. He/she might faint, feel unwell or so.. even in an Unvented room there will be some cracks left where there is some oxygen left to get into the room. The room would have be totally , totally isolated to deprive the subject from air.

HOWEVER--- when there is incomplete combustion present of gas or kerosene and there is npo oxygen -- that is -TOTALLY- a different story, as this will produce the deadly carbon monoxide. Even little amounts can be lethal and huge amounts can be so in a few minutes. See the article. SO to your original question i'd say no.Marminnetje 18:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

If there is no oxygen left in a room, then the kerosene would not be able to combust anyway. This article is stupid and completely unverified. Why are laser heaters called laser heaters? Where is the laser? How do you get complete combustion anyway? --Arm 09:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I made an update. I don't use these heaters anymore, i consider them not harmless, but I know they are popular in some countries and are used in garages, construction buildings, caravans etc. I know people who use them and have no harmful effects whatsoever. I'll try to get some verification asap. > If there is no oxygen left in a room, then the kerosene would not be able to combust anyway. No it would partially combust.Marminnetje (talk) 12:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
