Kerosene Fan Heater Fuel Cost & CO2

Estimate the fuel cost and CO2 emissions of a kerosene fan heater from its kerosene use. Enter hourly consumption, hours per day, number of days, and the kerosene price to see the cost and CO2 for the period.

Input

Estimate the fuel cost and CO2 emissions of a kerosene fan heater from how much kerosene it burns. Use the fuel consumption figure (e.g. on the high setting) from your model's manual as a guide for the hourly amount.

CO2 emissions are an estimate calculated as kerosene used (L) × 2.49 kg-CO2/L.

How it works

  • The kerosene cost is calculated as "hourly kerosene consumption (L/h) × hours used per day × number of days × kerosene price (per L)". Use the fuel consumption rating in your model's manual (such as the high-setting figure) as a guide for the hourly amount.
  • CO2 emissions are estimated as "kerosene used (L) × 2.49 kg-CO2/L". This factor is a typical representative value for kerosene combustion; the real figure varies with combustion conditions.
  • Kerosene prices vary widely by country, region, season, and how you buy it (home delivery, self-service, and so on). Enter your latest purchase price for an estimate closer to reality.
  • The cost, kerosene used, and CO2 figures shown are all estimates based on your inputs and do not account for changes in consumption from switching operating modes or room temperature, or for losses at ignition and shutdown.
  • Because the per-day fuel cost and CO2 emissions are shown as well, you can use them as a reference when comparing the running cost against an air conditioner or other heating appliances.
