230,000 BTU/h High-Output Heating Performance

The L.B. White FOREMAN® 230 DF 2.0 delivers a rated heating input of 230,000 BTU/h for temporary heating in construction, industrial, and other suitable applications. Its forced-air system distributes heat through compatible outlet ducting, helping deliver warmth to designated areas. The fully welded heat exchanger transfers energy from the combustion process to the heated-air stream while routing combustion gases through a separate exhaust system. This indirect-fired configuration is beneficial when an application requires clean, dry heated supply air without direct mixing of combustion exhaust into the occupied or working space. Actual heating coverage depends on ambient temperature, enclosure dimensions, insulation, air infiltration, duct configuration, and other site conditions.

Dual-Fuel Indirect-Fired Heating Technology

The L.B. White FOREMAN® 230 DF 2.0 uses a Beckett® burner and indirect-fired heating technology, operating on either liquid propane or natural gas. The burner heats the fully welded heat exchanger, while an integrated fan circulates air across the exchanger to deliver heated air into the intended space. Combustion gases are routed through a separate exhaust system instead of being mixed directly with the heated supply air. The dual-fuel design provides flexibility for sites with different approved fuel supplies. Manufacturer-published maximum fuel consumption is approximately 10.6 lb/h for LP and 230 cubic feet per hour for natural gas. Proper fuel configuration, gas pressure, combustion-air provisions, and exhaust installation are essential for safe operation. Follow the current L.B. White owner's manual and applicable fuel-gas codes.
