a co2 generator is the same as a unvented heater cant have them in bedrooms,i worked for a gas co ,u don't have a clue what your talking about AGAIN if its ul listed we go in do pressure test dosnt matter who ran the line if the test hold we hook up,u just got a dickwad co
I heard u guys were little tougher on laws up there,can u run bvents in bedrooms up there?Ya a bedroom unit here has to be approved on rating plate and must have a thermostat, and yup direct vent .... fireplace or space heater. My favourite demo is a bic lighter it'll take my analyzer up to about 800 ppm lol. But it would never add that much to a room that you would get a reading unless it was a perfectly sealed room with no dilution and it would take a long time to reach 25 ppm. A lady died in her bathroom in a soaker tub burning a shit load of candles for a couple of hours with no dilution air.
simmer down, I never said I knew what I was talking about. obviously an opinion is being shared along with some personal experience. not all of us are propane appliance installers right?
never seen a generator set up in a living space,thats what tanks r for I run a unvented for co2 a heat in my out building,we would not hook up to any thing home made or not ul listed same with woodburners done a ton of those to
thats all I'll assume until I see a UL listed Co2 generator that is approved for residential in home use.
it really boils down to liabilty,once a supplier hooks up,they r on the hook lol
sure, they wont hook up a 500 gallon tank to a C02 Generator in a dudes bedroom, aint happening if using a legitimate company to install/hook up. thats my story until I see a UL listed gen rated safe for an indoor dudes bedroom lol
I feel the gens r a over priced rip off,just go get a 79 doller vent free from lowes light the pilot an be done with it, I never looked into it but boy u would think the gens would be ul listed
Oh got ya, lol, I thought you meant a liquid cooled pilot.
No natural draft units in a bedroom, must be direct vent. And yup, it's like the Wild West down there lol. Takes like 6 months in school at nights now to get a g2 (<400,000btu's) and 4000 hrs on the job and a bitch of an exam.
I was talking about a heater not a CO2 generator for a bedroom.
. And I'm also not going to fight with you, I know my code lol. That's all I fucking do all day is look up codes in gas, oil, electric .... got 46 phone calls today .....and I'm semi retired ..... fuck lol. Im a gas fitter, refrigeration mechanic, sheet metal mechanic (resi) and train HVAC apprentices ... it's not glamorous but it pays the bills lol.
Check out blue ox .... ul approved but you still need to follow local codes. Our code (Ontario) states you must follow the more stringent codes or those having jurisdiction .... it gets complicated lol.
I'm sure the alcohol burner would in fact raise the CO2 and if sealed it may get quite high actually. I used a heater in the back of a cube van to help dry a shitload of plants once and it was just fucking raining in there the next morning, and yup got fucking hot lol.I tried burning propane but it got way too warm in my room.

I made a little double burner alcohol lamp and ran methyl hydrate in it but I'm not sure if it really helped.

I'm sure the pilot had an effect over a period of time. Not to many standing pilot units here, soon there won't be any I assume due to effiency rules.
So the supplier has to do the piping? That's bullshit and probably illegal in a competition sense if someone pushed it. Anyone can do the piping here, if certified, and we can actually do the inspection and pressure test, start as well, mind you we take on the liability. I've been asked to testify twice but cases settled out before date...good thing as they pay about $35 a day lol.

yeah, no biggy for me, but hooking that tank to my propane bbq or my c02 gen was a big "NO".
gas companys love standing pilots lol here ya on the schooling never ending
