Space Heater from 365.25 by 185668232

1.5 million years ago, Homo erectus and Austra-lopithecus early humans began using campfire which was brought inside caves and huts for many reasons.

The oldest arrangement was a central fire and a central roof opening for smoke to escape.

Later the fire was moved to different parts of a dwelling, and various schemes were tried to improve the draft of the fire by using stones.

However, even the best open fire is 20% efficient, with most of the heat escaping with the smoke.

Historical data indicates that underfloor heating systems were first used in the Middle East.

In 1300 B.C King Arzawa installed such a system in his palace at Beycesutan, Turkey. hearths and fireplaces, stoves, and underfloor systems. Fixed centrally date back to 2500 B.C in Greece.

Crude fireplace heating was used as early as the 800s A.D., and was widespread in Europe by the 13th century. Castles built at that time had fireplaces that had a short flue to the outside,

That was a chimney. All of the early fireplaces were constructed entirely of stone, casting technology improvements led to introduction of cast iron firebacks to protect stone from direct fire heat.

Louis Savot of France invented the

France invented raised grate designed with circulating fireplace in the early 1600s. used a hollow iron bottom and back in the hearth,

cold room air entered at the bottom, was warmed, and entered the room through openings above the mantle.

In England, another improvement was to provide combustion air through a duct from the outside. A French priest (actually a Cardinal) wrote the first comprehensive manual on fireplace design, Mechanique du Feu, in 1713. The science of fireplace construction reached its zenith with Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, who published Chimney Fireplaces in 1796.

, part of the credit is given to Thomas Edison who patented the lightbulb in 1880.

1880’s earliest electric heaters used bulbs but also needed durable, high-resistance wire in order to work in 1905

proper dues are also given to Albert Leroy Marsh who developed the alloy 'chromel' in 1905.

AD 1919: Alice Parker patents the first central heating system. AD
1935:

Scientists invent forced convection wall heaters that use a coal furnace, electric fan, and ductwork throughout a home. Late 1940s: Robert C. Webber creates the direct exchange ground-source heat

A space heater is a device used to heat a single, small area; central heating is used to heat many connected areas, such as the rooms of a house. Space heaters are powered by electricity or a burnable fuel, such as natural gas, propane, fuel oil, or wood pellets.
