KEROSENE HEATER ACCESSORIES

"Breathe Easy" Platinum Catalytic Filter

The "Breathe Easy" Platinum Catalytic Filter is a platinum-coated screen, 6 inches in diameter, which is hung by three stainless steel wires to just above the flame on a kerosene heater burner unit, as shown in the illustration above, right side.  It was designed to reduce odors and films and help a kerosene heater burn cleanly.  Installation is not difficult, and the unit comes with installation instructions.

Do you need a "Breathe Easy" Platinum Catalytic Filter?  A properly adjusted kerosene heater with a tall catalytic converter (burner unit) already burns extremely clean.  However, there are some circumstances in which a "Breathe Easy" would be useful:  (1) Those who have a heater with a short burner unit (KeroSun is famous for this); (2) who have particular lung problems; (3) burn a kerosene heater all night long in a well-sealed house to keep the chill off the house; or (4) who burn poor quality "red dye" kerosene, may find the Breathe Easy a handy accessory.  Some hucksters claim the Breathe Easy makes every heater burn like a "Double Clean" and is the greatest thing since sliced bread:  it isn't, but some very nice people have used the Breathe Easy and report great results.

The "Breathe Easy" Platinum Catalytic Filter is 6 inches wide and will not fit some heaters, such as the "Moonlighter."

Mica Window - Universal  Mica windows are frequently used on the sides of convection heaters (middle of photo at left) to allow the user to see the flame. Damaged mica windows should be replaced, as they interfere with the designed air flow of the heater and can cause the heater to not burn at maximum efficiency. Photo is an Omni 105, which has a window on each side. The heater is off, so the window appears black.

Mica is a thin, transparent mineral silicate which is extremely resistant to heat, but relatively brittle and can become damaged over time and should be replaced.  This mica is precut to fit KeroSun convection heaters, but can be easily cut to fit other heaters.  Size:  3 3/4" x 4". Each package of one mica replacement window comes with installation instructions.

Igniters for Kerosene Heaters Most kerosene heaters use a battery powered electric ignition system, with a thin coil of wire heating to cherry red to ignite the fuel in the wick.  If the coil becomes damaged, electric ignition is impossible.

The #1 igniter is the most commonly used....KeroSun, Toyostove, Corona, etc.  It has the heating coil at a right angle to the tabs on the base.  The #2 igniter has an in-line coil with flat tabs.  The #3 igniter is the second most-used igniter (Dyna Glo, Heat Mate, etc), and is recognized because the coil and the tabs (or pins) at the base are in the same alignment.  The #4 igniter is rarely used, and is a wafer style igniter.   (See Complete Igniter list)
