The BV290 is the big bertha of the Master indirect heater range. Producing 85kW (290’000 BTU) of heating power at an airflow rate of 3300 cubic metres an hour, it does so by separating exhaust to create clean, hot air. Designed for industrial and commercial business use, the BV290 can turn cold winter construction sites, factory floors, warehouses, workshops and events tents into a summer break to the costa del sol.

Power

As stated, the Master BV290 produces 85kW or 290’000 BTU of heating power. But, what does this mean? To put it into perspective, a household radiator has about 1.5kW of heating power, meaning a household boiler of equivalent strength to the BV290 could theoretically heat in excess of 50 radiators. That’s a lot of radiators and, thus, rooms it could heat. However, the objectives are different for the BV290, which is generally asked to heat larger, poorly insulated spaces and to deliver heat quickly.

Lots of heat, quickly

Concentrated in one space, the BV290 is an air heater. This means it pulls air through its body, exposing the air to heat, and warming it up. It then propels the heated air out into the space/environment. Given its power, the BV290 is, therefore, able to deliver substantial heat across a space very quickly.

In describing the substantially less powerful BV77, we suggested it could raise the temperature of a small village hall by 8-10 degrees celsius in less than 10 minutes (excluding all other cooling forces, such as interior shape, exterior temperatures and insulation etc.). The BV290 has 4x the power and double the air flow rate. Meaning it could certainly achieve the same at half the speed, possibly greater. Or, it could heat a larger space just as quickly.

Clean, Hot Air

Producing a lot of hot air is what the BV290 does best. However, in contrast to its equivalents in the Master B-range, the B360, the BV290 is an indirect heater. This means the combustion process, which produces heat energy, is protected. The result is slightly reduced power output, compared to direct heaters, but clean air. Direct heaters, such as the B360 are unsuitable for use in enclosed spaces, with reduced ventilation, as the by-products of combustion are potentially toxic. The BV290 can flue exhaust safely away, while directly or porting heated air into the space you want.

Portable

The BV290 is the largest of the BV range. Yet, Master supply it with a trolley and wheel design to match. The BV290, therefore, is perfectly transportable and manoeuvrable, meaning you can position it in the best position possible for your needs.

Fuel

The Master BV range, along with the B and BF ranges, are able to run on either diesel or kerosene.

How do I get one of these amazing heaters?

The Master BV290 is an indirect diesel-powered heater. Creating clean air, separate to exhaust, they are perfect for construction sites, warehouses, workshops and events tents.
