Infrared Heating Defined

Infrared heating systems rely upon the transfer of radiant energy from hot heat exchanger surfaces (up to 1850°F for high intensity heaters) through the air to cooler surfaces, without the use of an air mover. Since radiant energy always travels in a straight line from its source, people and objects within a direct line-of-sight of the heat exchanger become warmed immediately.
While capable of being used for total building heating or large area heating, they are ideally suited for spot heating applications. Spot heating involves small areas such as loading dock doors and single person work cells.

Advantages of Infrared Heating

• No air mover, reducing electricity and maintenance costs while increasing worker comfort from the absence of drafts and annoying fan noise.
• Quick temperature recovery, as only objects need to be heated, not large volumes of air.
• Significant energy savings through use of zone control and/ or spot heating, which heats objects without the need to heat large air volumes.

Typical Applications

The following are examples of applications that can benefit from high- intensity infrared heating:

• Manufacturing facilities
• Vehicle repair centers
• Warehouses and loading docks
• Aircraft hangars
• Indoor tennis courts
• Indoor golf driving ranges
• Emergency vehicle garages
• Indoor stadium seating areas

The following are examples of applications that can benefit from low-intensity infrared heating:

• Manufacturing facilities
• Vehicle repair centers
• Warehouses and loading docks
• Aircraft hangars
• Tennis courts
• Car washes
• Golf driving ranges
• Covered walkways
• Emergency vehicle garages
• Stadium seating areas
• Vestibules

See Infrared Design and Engineering Guide 9-200 for additional application information.

WARNING
Do not locate ANY gas-fired unit in areas where chlorinated, halogenated or acid vapors are present in the atmosphere.
WARNING
Do not install in potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere laden with dust, sawdust, or similar airborne materials.
