How hot are propane burners??

[Ozymandias15]

I'll soon be setting up a room that is going to need a lot of CO2 and i'm just wondering how hot propane CO2 generators get. Has anyone had experience of them who can give me examples of temp changes in their room due to these?

Thanks for any help guys

its like having an extra 1000 watt light in the room just compensate with a bigger ac

Sigh...

a CO2 generator is just a glorified propane gas burner... so whatever BTU of propane you burn, is how much BTU's of heat you will get.

Saying 1000 watt equivalent is misleading, depends how often your co2 generator runs, which is determined by how fast the co2 levels drop. Which is dependent on how much the plants take up, and how much of your co2 rich air escapes through cracks etc.

If you can't handle the extra heat, its not the end of the world to just turn it off.

Sigh is friggin right,I want to delete all forum standard answers from people's minds lol.A cd-6 has half the burners of a cd-12,room size,insulation and other variables determine heat buildup.My experience after years with a cd-6 in an 850 cu ft room is it barely affects the room at all,hooked to a controller.It will affect it slightly hooked to a cyclestat timer.All in all its almost a non-issue,you want 85 degrees at the canopy with 1500PPM anyway,proper air conditioning and dehumidification are greater concerns.

I think they are as hot as fire. Like, cooking meat, eh?
