Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q - Does the Orbis Calorama/Comfort View heater require a blower?
A - No! The unit is built in such a fashion that during operation, the heat is pushed out of the top of the front cover by venturi action. That is, the heat exchanger area, behind the front cover, compresses the super heated air forcing the rising stream of this air to jettison from the top through controlled openings. This heated air is sent to the opposite wall of the room. As it cools, it settles to the floor and is drawn back into the bottom of the front cover, completing the heating cycle.

Q - Does the Orbis Calorama/Comfort View heater require electricity to operate?
A - No! The unit has a thermocouple and gas pilot system that provides a milli-volt of electricity to operate the gas valve. The gas valve is temperature regulated using a dry bulb thermostat to measure room temperature. This thermostat is attached to the bottom of the unit and is located in the cool air stream being drawn into the heat exchanger area. By being in this position, room air is always being mechanically monitored 24 hours a day.

Q - Can the Orbis Calorama/Comfort View heater be converted to another gas in the field?
A - No! The unit is not designed to be converted in the field. It requires a specially trained gas service technician, who has been authorized by the factory to convert the unit between gases.

Q - Can the Orbis Calorama/Comfort View heater be ordered in a different color?
A - No! The unit only comes with a Sandalwood Brown cover as painted in the factory.

Q - Can the Orbis Calorama/Comfort View heater be shipped via United Parcel Service?
A - Yes! All three of the units, including the vent kit, are UPS shippable.
