Abstract: Catalytic Heaters convert natural gas or LPG into a safe, flameless, radiant heat. This conversion is accomplished through a catalytic reaction in which natural gas (or LPG) and oxygen are brought into contact with a catalyst at minimum temperature of 225F. Merriam-Webster defines a catalyst as a substance or agent inducing catalysis a substance that initiates a chemical reaction and enables it to proceed under milder conditions than otherwise possible. Extensive research on the effectiveness of catalysts in promoting the reaction of combustible gases with oxygen or air has established platinum as a desirable catalyst for use in flameless catalytic gas heaters.
