I had an interesting experience today.
I was in my warehouse. The temp is controlled at 44 degrees by a furnace. I decided to bring a portable, “salamander” propane heater in to add some heat near the front of the warehouse.
I ran the heater, and after a while, I noticed a smell. Then I noticed my eyes were beginning to burn... then I noticed a haze in the air. Do you know why?
I looked it up, as the smell was distinct and strong, getting stronger!
I was accidentally chlorinating propane! I think the exposure to the strong, blue LED lighting, the cool temperature in the warehouse, and an inefficient burning heater created the conditions. Luckily, the smell and burning eyes alerted me! I got out and ventilated the space. I think I will let the furnace warm the place up!
I thought you would like this anecdote!
By the way, we are selling our trimaran, and I am refurbishing a 2006 Rinker 270 express cruiser powerboat.
