Product Description

BE SilentDrive 20kW Diesel Radiant Heater (70000 BTU) – Portable Diesel Heater

Execute rapid, massive-scale temperature control in freezing commercial environments and completely eliminate disruptive worksite noise with the highly formidable BE SilentDrive 20kW Diesel Radiant Heater (HK070R). In massive, uninsulated industrial workshops, agricultural barns, and open construction sites, traditional forced-air diesel heaters are notoriously deafening, making communication impossible and causing severe acoustic fatigue. This professional-grade portable diesel heater provides the ultimate, innovative solution. Utilizing patented SilentDrive® technology, it produces half the noise of comparable conventional heaters, ensuring your workspace remains incredibly warm, productive, and acoustically safe.

Designed for unparalleled worksite efficiency and rapid heat transfer, the BE HK070R combines forced-air heat with advanced radiant technology. Operating exactly like the sun, the glowing radiant heat plate warms objects and people directly and instantly, rather than wasting energy attempting to heat massive volumes of empty, cold air. Generating an immense 70,000 BTU (20 kW) of output from its 15-Litre fuel tank, it easily heats spaces up to 158 square meters. Equipped with heavy-duty steel construction, a 240V electric-fired ignition, and advanced thermal safety shut-offs, these elite industrial workshop heaters provide facility managers and contractors with a highly reliable, ultra-quiet asset for conquering the most brutal winter conditions.

Who Is The BE SilentDrive Radiant Heater Ideal For?

The BE HK070R delivers 20kW of radiant heat, SilentDrive® technology, and multi-fuel compatibility. It is highly recommended for:

Industrial Workshops & Garages: Utilizing an ultra-quiet portable diesel heater to instantly warm mechanics and metalworkers directly via radiant heat, ensuring high productivity during freezing winter mornings without deafening engine noise.
Construction & Renovation Sites: Relying on the massive 70,000 BTU output to rapidly dry joint compound, fresh paint, and concrete leveling screeds in uninsulated, open-air building sites.
Agricultural & Farm Sectors: Taking absolute advantage of the 15-Litre fuel tank to provide safe, consistent warmth for livestock or to heat massive equipment sheds continuously for up to 7 hours.
Facility OH&S Managers: Deploying premium industrial workshop heaters equipped with advanced overheat shut-off systems, ensuring absolute worksite safety when the unit is left running for extended periods.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Advanced Radiant Heating System: The ultimate thermal advantage. While forced-air heaters waste time heating empty air, the glowing front plate of this machine emits infrared radiant heat, warming objects and people directly and instantly, just like sunlight.
SilentDrive® Technology: Prioritizes worksite communication. Engineered to produce exactly half the noise of standard diesel heaters, it allows operators to communicate safely and eliminates the severe acoustic fatigue associated with industrial heating.
Massive 70,000 BTU (20 kW) Output: Delivers unyielding commercial performance. This extreme heat output effortlessly and rapidly warms large commercial spaces measuring up to 158 square meters (1,700 sq. ft.).
Highly Versatile Multi-Fuel Operation: Enhances logistical efficiency. The CSA Certified engine is engineered to run flawlessly on #1 and #2 Diesel, K-1 Kerosene, Jet A/JP8 fuel, or #1 and #2 fuel oil, ensuring you are never stranded without a compatible fuel source.
Advanced Safety Protection: Ensures strict worksite compliance. The machine features an integrated overheat shut-off system and a visual error indicator light, preventing the unit from causing a catastrophic fire if airflow is accidentally blocked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'Radiant Heat' and 'Forced Air'?

Forced air heaters act like a massive hair dryer, blowing hot air into the room to slowly warm the space. Radiant heaters feature a glowing front plate that emits infrared heat. This warms objects and people directly and instantly (like the sun), which is massively more efficient in open, drafty warehouses.

What does 'SilentDrive' mean?

Standard industrial diesel heaters use loud, high-speed fans and noisy combustion chambers. SilentDrive® is a patented technology engineered by BE that produces exactly 50% less noise than a standard heater, making worksite communication possible.

Does this heater run on electricity or diesel?

It uses BOTH. The massive heat is generated by burning Diesel fuel from the 15L tank. However, the machine features a 240V electric plug. You MUST plug it into a standard wall socket to power the ignition spark, the fuel pump, and the internal fan.

What types of fuel can I put in this heater?

This is a highly versatile 'Multi-Fuel' heater. It is CSA certified to run safely on standard #1 and #2 Diesel fuel, K-1 Kerosene, #1 and #2 Fuel Oil, and even Jet A/JP8 aviation fuel.

Is 70,000 BTU powerful enough for a large warehouse?

70,000 BTU (20kW) is an extreme amount of heat. It is officially rated to heat commercial spaces up to 158 square meters. If your warehouse is significantly larger than this, you will require the larger 125,000 BTU version.

How long will it run on a full tank?

The heater features a 15-Litre fuel tank. Based on its highly efficient fuel consumption rate, it will provide approximately 7 hours of continuous, uninterrupted heating before requiring a refill.

Is it safe to use indoors?

Because it burns diesel fuel, it produces exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide. It MUST ONLY be used in well-ventilated areas, such as warehouses with open roller doors, large agricultural sheds, or open construction sites. It is completely unsafe for closed, unventilated domestic rooms.

What happens if the heater gets too hot?

The HK070R features a built-in 'Overheat Shut-Off System'. If the internal temperature exceeds safe limits (often caused by the front being blocked), the machine automatically kills the fuel pump and shuts down to prevent a fire.

Is the machine heavy to move around?

Despite the heavy-duty steel construction, the 70,000 BTU model is designed to be highly portable. It features an ergonomic, easy-lift top handle, allowing a single operator to carry it easily to different areas of the worksite.

Will the front plate burn me if I touch it?

Absolutely YES. The front radiant plate and the surrounding steel cone become blisteringly hot during operation to emit the infrared heat. You must never touch the front of the machine while running, and keep all flammable materials well away from it.

Can I use standard unleaded petrol in this heater?

Absolutely NOT. You must NEVER put unleaded petrol, alcohol, or highly volatile solvents into a diesel heater. This will cause a massive, catastrophic explosion and fire.

Do you offer trade pricing for construction companies?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial construction teams, manufacturing plants, and agricultural facilities ordering bulk industrial heating equipment. Contact us to establish your account.
