Features, Functions And Benefits



Used as a zone or room heater in a primary heat source application, or as a supplementary heater to a central furnace system, THE PLATINUM CAT is a viable alternative to potentially hazardous unvented gas or kerosene heaters, expensive to operate electric room heaters, and inefficient furnaces. It is the perfect answer to reducing heating costs and solving those tough heating problems without sacrificing safety, efficiency and convenience.

PROPANE FUEL



THE PLATINUM CAT model 6P12B and 3P12B operate on low pressure 11"w.c. propane gas. Propane is clean burning and as convenient to use as electricity. As opposed to kerosene or wood, it requires no special handling. Gas is also the least expensive form of energy, costing one-half to one-fourth as much as electricity or kerosene.



CATALYTIC COMBUSTION


One of THE PLATINUM CAT's key features is its catalytic combustion process. Catalytic combustion is a unique chemical reaction differing from open- flame combustion in that a catalyst is used instead of high temperature to sustain the combustion process. In the classic flame combustion of most gas furnaces and space heaters, fuel normally burns when combined with oxygen and ignited by a flame at temperatures of at least 1200F. Once started, the process is self- sustaining as long as there is sufficient fuel and oxygen, and as long as the temperature remains above 1200F. Read more about Catalytic combustion HERE.


UNIQUE VENTING SYSTEM


THE PLATINUM CAT utilizes a power vent system which exhausts all combustion by-products to the outside of the living area, which automatically replace oxygen used for combustion. The vent system prevents buildup of unhealthy indoor air pollution and eliminates any chance of accidental asphyxiation. ​ Read more about the Venting system HERE.


EFFICIENT RADIANT HEAT



THE PLATINUM CAT produces sun-like radiant heat which warms people and objects directly and immediately. Classic flame combustion heaters generally first heat air which in turn warms the occupants of the space being heated. Warm air rises to the ceiling (causing heat stratification) where it is wasted. Flame combustion heaters therefore consume much more energy (BTUs) to provide the same heating comfort produced by THE PLATINUM CAT.



LOW SURFACE TEMPERATURES


THE PLATINUM CAT is designed so that all surface temperatures remain relatively cool. Even a baby can safely touch the warmest part of the heater without being burned. Learn more about the Low Surface Temperatures HERE.


AUTOMATIC THERMOSTAT CONTROL



Operating THE PLATINUM CAT is as simple as operating a central furnace system. Just set the thermostat and forget it. THE PLATINUM CAT starts and stops automatically, efficiently maintaining even room temperatures and allowing unattended operation. Additionally, thermostats used with THE PLATINUM CAT are equipped with a "positive-off" feature, so the heater will only operate when you want it to.



SOLID STATE IGNITION



THE PLATINUM CAT'S solid state ignition system automatically starts the heater when the thermostat calls for heat. When this occurs, the catalytic burner surface is preheated electrically to the proper combustion temperature without having to manually activate a spark ignition or pilot light. Electronic circuitry monitors the system and shuts it off as soon as full ignition of the burner takes place." No flash-no flame" operation is another one of THE PLATINUM CATs designed-in safety features.​



ELECTRONIC FAIL -SAFE OPERATION



THE PLATINUM CAT utilizes an electronically controlled fail-safe system which shuts off the heater or will not allow it to start, should a malfunction occur, or should an unsafe operating condition exist. The system is designed to automatically protect the user or occupant of the space being heated. As an example, the gas valve shuts off automatically if the exhaust flue should for some reason become blocked, when the gas flow is interrupted, when electricity is interrupted, or when the heater is used in a hermetically- sealed room preventing proper venting. Few space heaters have as many safety shut-off features as are provided by THE PLATINUM CAT..



ATTRACTIVE COMPACT STYLING



THE PLATINUM CAT has been designed to take up little space, recognizing that wall space in most rooms is at a premium. The attractive powdercoated finish allows it to blend in with almost any room decor. Occasionally wiping the outer surface of the heater is all that is required to maintain the new appearance of the finish.



SIMPLE AND VERSATILE INSTALLATION



Installing THE PLATINUM CAT is a relatively simple task as long as the installation instructions are carefully followed. Because surface temperatures are low, it can be installed on any surface without the need for special insulation.. The exhaust pipe can be routed out of the back of the heater, down from the heater, to either side, or straight up. Care should be taken in routing and connecting the gas line, which should be performed by a qualified person.
