Infra-red heaters cut fuel costs by lower
temperature settings -
Building heat loss is in direct proportion to the difference between
the inside and the outside temperatures.
|
|
With RE-VERBER-RAY®, the heat
is directed to the floor and not trapped at the ceiling. Therefore, you
can lower thermostat settings between 5 and 10 degrees and still
maintain desired comfort levels at the floor. The high
efficiencies of
infra-red equipment has resulted in our customers experiencing fuel
cost savings of 50% or more.

Tube Heaters - Low Intensity
Infrared
Tube heaters are gas-fired
infrared heaters
designed to provide comfort heat. They consist of three (3)
main
components: a burner control box, radiant tube, and reflector assembly.
The heaters are typically suspended from the ceiling by
chains
and controlled by a thermostat. They can be installed either
vented or unvented, and may use outside air for combustion if
necessary. The radiant tube may be installed in different
configurations depending on the heating requirements. (see Figure 1.1)
These heaters use infrared
energy to heat
spaces. When heat is required, the burner control box ignites
a
gas/air mixture and pushes the hot gasses into the radiant tube.
As the gases pass through the assembly, the tubing is heated
and
emits infrared, which is then directed toward the floor by reflectors.
This is known as primary infrared and is abosorbed by the
floor,
objects and people in the space, raising their temperatures.
They
in turn reradiate this heat, known as secondary infrared, to create a
comfort zone at the floor level. This is how tube heaters can
heat large spaces without having to provide primary infrared for every
square foot of area. However, if the goal is to spot heat a
small
area within a large space, only the primary infrared makes this
possible.

|
A gas fired infra-red heating system emulates the
efficiency of the sun by generating radiant energy that is converted
into heat when absorbed by objects in its path. Once the
infra-red energy is absorbed by the floors, machinery, stock and
people, it is then re-radiated to warm the surrounding air.

This method of heating, as opposed to filling a
room with warm air (such as a forced air unit) allows the source of
heat to begin at the floor level and not the ceiling. This
makes it the most efficient and effective method in which to heat under
the diverse conditions present in warehouses, storerooms and even the
most immense structures imaginable.

5 Key Features to a Quality
Infra-Red Tube Heater
Two-Stage Operation.
- Advanced two-stage infra-red heaters fire at 100% or
65% of rated output. This varied operation reduces on/off
cycles by 35%, improves comfort levels, provides faster recoveries,
offers design protection benefits and has been proven to save a minimum
of 12% fuel savings over single stage. By reducing on/off
cycles you directly reduce wasted energy.
Burner Design. - A
burner that produces an elongated and spiraled flame is superior to a
"cup" style burner that produces a shortened flame. An
elongated flame emits more flame radiation than other flames (p.6 N.
American Combustion Handbook, VII) and improves heat
distribution. Detroit Radiant's stainless steel burner is
specifically designed for an elongated flame.
|
|
Tube Construction. -
Radiant
tubes are constructed of stainless steel, titanium coated, aluminized
coated and hot-rolled steel. Different tubes have different
tolerances to heat and corrosion. An efficient radiant heater
will use 100% aluminized coated tubes, at a minimum. A highly
emissive (.95+) black coating will further enhance performance.
Highly Polished Reflectors
- Highly polished aluminum reflectors transmit nearly 90%
(ASHRAE 1996 p 3.8) of radiant energy. Mill finish reflectors
have an absorption value of 40% to 60% (ASHRAE 1996 p 3.8).
Reflector construction material is more critical than the reflector
design.
Other. - Hot
surface ignition is superior to spark ignition, complete mounting kits
(hangers, clamps, flex connectors, end caps & gas cocks) save
time during installation, interlocking tubes are easier to install and
offer a superior fit to non-swaged tubes, titanium combustion chambers
offer more protection over aluminized tubes.
Models - HL2, DX2, XTS,
DET, DES

DR Series - High
Intensity Infrared Heaters
The DR Series is commonly used in areas with high
air infiltration, high ceilings and/or spot heating
applications. The DR Series is available in a multitude of
configurations, ranging from 30 to 160 MBTU/H with 3 different control
options. The
DR Series of infra-red heaters is ideal in applications where unvented
high intensity heat offers design benefits or is preferred.
The
DR Series is also ideal for unvented spot heating applications.

There are
over 2,000,000 DR Series
burners in use today.
