Is this a catalytic Heater?

I am not sure of what a catalytic heater is. There is a flame that comes out of a jet and a blower behind it forcing the hot air out of the front. I don't think this is considered a catalytic heater.

Don't think so. The Mr. Heater is a fan forced propane gas heater. As I understand it. A catalytic heater uses low pressure gas.

All safety instructions say to not use it indoors. I have lived off the grid for many years and have used several types of catalytic type heaters to heat the inside of my cabins or boats. They are safe as long as you have enough incoming air. Most of the newer units have a CO sensor that will shut it down if the monoxide level gets dangerous. That said, I would NEVER go to bed with one of these or any other LP heater or cooking unit going in an enclosed space. Safe enough to use responsibly in a trailer, ice fishing tent, shop or garage as long as it is not left unattended for a multitude or potential safety reasons. All said I love this heater.

This heater is ul listed. Ive bought several of these heaters and I use them to heat outbuildings. They wodrk great and do the job. Very reliable source of heat and safe.

No where is it written in the package insert that this heater is energy efficient. So I doubt that it is. However, there is an "EC" setting (Eco-Smart) on some Sunbeam heaters. On this setting the heater cycles between high (1500 watts) and low (750 watts) to conserve energy. My heater is packed away for the summer months, and I do not remember if the EC setting is available on this particular model. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite yes or no answer.

I am not sure what your fuel source is for radiant heat (electric, natural gas, LP, etc.), so it is hard to compare what is more or less expensive. In terms of electric heaters that will work on a standard 115VAC circuit, this is a pretty good one. At one point, the gas valve went out on our furnace heater during the winter. It was over a week before the repairman come. Two of these, along with a portable electric ceramic radiant heater, heated our entire house. Also, this has safety systems on it that are pretty good. I have also used it to keep our garage above freezing level during the winter. It has one setting just to do that and it runs on relatively low power. For the money, it's a good heater. We own two.

Yes it is. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to the amount of heat this throws out. Good performance for the money!

Box says has a safety tip-over switch & a motion safety sensor, don't see a UL designation but it's a good functioning space heater, only don't run it non-stop since it will raise your electric bill as it is 1500W...

the heater is pre-set at factory for propane...did you change from propane to natural gas as the instructions #2 ( Quick Guide say)?

The XLN is a low emission heater it's supposed to be better for the environment. The one I have works extremely well. I can leave it on for hours and the heat never fluctuates. I will never own another tank heater.

Absolutely not, a catalytic converter is a fat can that sits right in front of the engine, its job is to convert some of the harmful gasses into harmless gasses. This header is a simple pipe that does no "filtering" at all. And it looks nothing like a catalytic converter. If you're in the state of California or another California emissions state this will not pass inspection. So to answer your question, no this part does not qualify in any way as a catalytic converter.

This heater is AC plug-in electric. I used it alot in my truck in conjunction with a inverter.

Yes, it does. It's a nice heater, if you get past the plastic odor it puts out. I don't notice it much anymore, but it still bothers my wife.

Not that I am aware of, though if you mount it on a wall, or use the legs sold by the manufacturer, it wold be hard to kick it over.Given the low catalytic temperatures, these units are FAR safer than anything like a "Buddy" heater, BTW. I have a Wave 3 and 6, and a Portable and Big Buddy, so I know of what I speak.

I bought this to use with my two burner stainless camp stove, but I see no reason why it would not perform very well in a catalytic heater.

Yes, from what I found online. Check out this link on Cheap electric heaters dot com. http://www.cheapelectricheaters.com/faq/

No, probably not in the sense you mean. This is an eight watt "always on" type of heater, it has no thermostat. The heater will continue to emit eight watts worth of heat whenever it is plugged in. With very few exceptions all small "bowl" or "betta" heaters work this way, the only difference is the wattage. They are available in 5 to 15 watts, you need to match tank size, ambient temperature, and other variables to heater wattage. A thermometer and monitoring is essential, especially at first to determine what temperature a particular heater keeps a particular tank, and if room temperature rises so will the water temperature. The term "preset" is not really applicable to these heaters, preset heaters have a thermostat that is permanently set at a certain temperature. If a heater description uses the term preset without stating a specific temperature (usually 78) then it is NOT a thermostatic heater- it is an always on type. In too small of a tank or too warm a room these can overheat the water. Bettas are very heat tolerant, which is why using these heaters is feasible, but care is still needed. In anything under 3 gallons I think eight watts may be more than needed unless in a fairly cool room.

Possibly. I'm not too familiar with that type of heater but if it's air/fuel ratio is somewhere around stoich (+/-30%), this might work decently. Read the section under "Zirconia sensor" to get a little bit of an idea for what this is actually looking for ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor ). Sensors like this only measure the products of combustion, so they don't really care about the fuel type although they can get fouled by metalics and other impurities.
