Dragon Mobile Furnace Heats Empty
House Aiding Drying Process
Winter weather freezes
and ruptures pipes, creating water damage in homes. Extreme cold also makes the drying process more difficult.
This is especially true when the electricity is shut off and the building is too cold for standard
dehumidifiers to work. ServiceMaster by Althouse uses “low grain refrigerant”
dehumidifiers that work at lower temperatures and desiccant dehumidifiers which can work at freezing
temperatures.
Adding heat also speeds
the drying process. For example, raising the temperature from 60 degrees to 70 degrees can increase evaporative
potential by 45%.

Althouse uses Dragon® Mobile Furnaces by Dri-eaz. When placed outside, the Dragon® pumps 85,00 BTUs of dry heat
into the cold building; heating the interior without introducing any fumes. A remote thermostat inside the home
regulates the temperature. The unit also works well for drying crawlspaces.
The Dragon® is 40”
long, 23” wide, and 28” high (plus the flue). It weighs 200 pounds. It uses ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
and releases minimum exhaust.

Another use for the Dragon is to heat an inclosed area. Most of the time after a
fire, a home or business will have their electricity shut off--at least until it is examined and determined to
be safe buy a licensed electrician.
