Hurt, no treatment Made Feb 16, 2014, sent to the company Feb 25, 2014, published by CPSC Mar 12, 2014
The product, in the report: Kerosene space heater, unvented.
Purchased SENGOKU CV-2230 kerosene heater to provide supplemental heat bduring recent cold weather. Had originally owned this type of heater back in the 80s-early 90s. Used high quality 1-K kerosene and burned heater for a total of about 24 hours on 3 separate days. Flame and burner operation appeared to be perfect but after that time my apartment was was filled with uncombusted kerosene/ emissions product. I observed the combustion burner of this heater during actual operation and found the following; unlike the older [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] heaters, this heater had a combustion chamber screen diffuser with no catalytic activity during burning. The use of the catalytic combustion diffuser in the older heaters assured a combustion efficiency of greater than 99.9%. Not the cse with this heater. It is just a cheap imitation of the older efficient heaters. Also, this heater had both UL cert markings and NKHA (National Kerosene Heater Association) markings. Basis observed combustion performance, It is my belief that UL has not tested this item for performance in several years. Further, I have been unable to verify that there is even something known as the NKHA which is still in existence.
