I have a wall mounted gas heater, the gas flows nonstop from industrial tubes so there's no limit of how long it can burn unless you turn the hose to stop the gas flowing. The heater is mounted on the wall, right besides balcony entrance. It's venting appliance is accessible from the balcony easily, just need to squat to inspect it with my hands. If I try to cover it with garbage bags to block the outflow of combustion products, how much is it likely that lethal amounts of CO will build up inside the room if I set the temperature above average on the heater?
I know that besides CO, there are other, irritant byproducts too but it won't be that uncomfortable to not make you fall asleep from CO buildup. If the heater doesn't have some kind of mechanism that detects obstructed outflow of emissions, it will likely won't shut down and continue operation until it malfunctions or someone turns if off but I'm concerned whether the heater will build up enough CO in the room to make it lethal in 10-12 hours time period.
Anyone with knowledge of how those heaters operate and whether it would work?
