Hi All,
I have the 4,000 to 9,000 Mr Heater .
It has the automatic shutoff feature with low Oxygen.
I was curious as to how it worked It had to be complicated.
There is a Thermocouple below the heating Element fed by a Pilot Flame
coming up a tube from the igniter.
The Pilot Flame is ignited in a small combustion Chamber ,which limits the
Oxygen flow to the Flame ,there is just enough Oxygen supplied to keep the
flame lit ,if its restricted the Flame goes out and the Heater turns off.
Now the good part , it has a Shield that says Design Certified.
I would only trust a Heater that was tested by an Independent Lab like
Underwriters like all of our old American Appliances use to have And there
Seal
Now the bad part , normal atmospheric Oxygen is 20.8 % Humans start having
problems at less than 19.5 % like Respiration volume increases ,muscular
coordination diminishes, attention and clear thinking requires more effort.
That is a very small Window to work in.
Oxygen Monitors with Alarms are expensive.
Now back to thinking ,about a Fourth Wife .I think I will go for Money this
time, instead of Love.(LOL)

There was one of the real crime TV shows on lately that made the comment "If you marry for money be prepared to earn every penny of it."

I am glad that you look for a "standard" for testing of user based equipment. I think you are putting too much trust into UNDERWRITERS Lab.
I have had some experience in the field and one thing you MUST KEEP IN MIND is that UL only tests the equipment for what the manufacturer tells them to. They do not do a block of tests that would be of value or health safety.
For instance, if a manufacturer developed a miracle fabric from man made substances and it was of super strength to abrasion and tensil pull, the manufacturer may only ask that the fabric be tested for tensil strength and wear. UL will not, on their own, test for flamability even if the product is as highly flamable as gasoline.
UL does not hold a standard for testing, only testing what they are paid to test.
Be Wary of the UL label.
