Abstract
A combustion type heater of this invention includes fuel distribution means 11 for distributing a fuel to the whole surface of a wick 10, disposed upstream of the wick in a fuel passage. The fuel distribution means comprises fuel distribution grooves 15 and a fuel dispersion plate 16 having a large number of holes bored therein. The fuel distribution means can quickly supply the fuel to the whole surface of the wick. To shorten the heating time of the wick, the heater of the present invention uses a wick heating glow plug 14b outside an ignition glow plug 14a, or a planar heater 18, for heating the wick.
