That would depend on too many things that are no listed. Need to know what the desired temperature is.. What the BTU rating of the heater is, what the efficiency rating is, what the R value of the structure is.

What state is propane in a zero degrees Celsius?
At ordinary atmospheric pressures propane is in the gas phase at 0C.
What is the static pressure of propane in pounds at 70 degrees?
According to a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) from a Propane distributor for propane, the vapour pressure is 189-208 PSI @ 38 C (100 F)
In the UK what is the color of propane gas cylinders?
propane is in an orange cylinder, when it has a screw in type valve, or green cylinder if it has the snap on type valve, eg for patio heaters and is generally branded as patio gas. Butane is usually in a blue cylinder, butane has similar properties to propane, but a lower boiling point, so generally freezes if the ambient temperature is too low and stops boiling off to gas.
How much does 25 gallons of liquid propane gas weigh?
5.1 lb
How many mega watt hours are in a propane tank?
The lower heating value of propane is about 45 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). A "20 pound" portable propane tank holds about 18 pounds, or about 8 kg of propane, so the the heating value is somewhere around 360 MJ. A megawatt-hour is one megawatt for an hour, or 3600 megawatt-seconds, which is the same as saying 3600 MJ. So a tank of propane has a raw energy equivalent of about 0.1 MW-hr, or 100 kW-hr. If you're talking about turning it into electricity, that's a different matter. Internal combustion engines typically have a thermodynamic efficiency of around 30%, so you can't get more than about 30 kW-hr out of that much fuel.
What temperature does propane burn?
-187.6 degrees Centigrade (-305.68 degrees Fahrenheit) is the melting point of propane. Anything below that, and you've got a frozen propane bottle. A slightly more practical question, however, is: At what temperature would a propane bottle fail to dispense its contents? The boiling point of propane is -42.09 degrees Centigrade (-43.76 degrees Fahrenheit). So anything below that temp, and the liquid propane won't boil off inside the bottle to dispense when you open the valve. You'd be able to pour it out like a very cold glass of water.
How do you find how much propane you have left using hot water and how does it work?
By pouring hot water on a propane cylinder you are heating the metal cylinder. The liquid propane in the cylinder is cold and forms condensation on the outside of the cylinder showing the level of propane remaining in the tank much like condensation forming on a glass of ice water on a hot day.
How many pounds are in a 47 gallon propane tank?
Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per US gallon, at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Propane expands 1.5% per 10 degrees F.answered by Special:ContributionsSo you take 4.2 * 47 = about 197.4
What temperature will a lpg 20 pound tank freeze or not work from be left outside?
Propane freezes at -40 degrees C (which also happens to be -40 degrees Fahrenheit).
When cooking with a propane grill does the outside temperature effect the propane?
depends on how cold or hot it is outside but it would have to be nearly 95 degrees night or 38 degrees Fahrenheit to really make much of a noticeable difference. The one sure fire way to avoid that is closing the top of the grill.
How many pounds of propane can a 20lb propane cylinder safely hold?
20
Which fuel is most economical for home heating?

How many gallons of propane in forklift cylinder?
7.9 gallons in a 33# forklift cylinder
What is the mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons used for heating?
For example butane + propane.
What does propane do for someone?
Propane is a gas commonly used as fuel. Households use propane for both cooking and heating purposes. Propane is a popular fuel source because of it is relatively inexpensive and very easy to obtain.
What is a purge cylinder?
A purge cylinder is a container used on the propane system. The cylinder aids in maintaining purity in gas lines.
