Industrial & Commercial Heating Systems

Industrial heating refers to heating systems engineered for large-scale commercial and industrial spaces such as warehouses, manufacturing floors, auto dealerships, and agricultural buildings. Unlike residential heating, industrial systems like gas-fired radiant infrared tube heaters are designed for high ceilings, wide open areas, and demanding environments, delivering efficient, even heat with BTU outputs ranging from 30,000 to 250,000 BTU/hr.

Power-vented systems use a blower to push combustion gases out through a vent pipe, making them suitable for straightforward installations. Vacuum-fired systems use an exhauster to draw combustion gases through the radiant tubing, enabling longer tube runs and custom multi-burner configurations ideal for very large facilities such as warehouses covering over 1 million square feet.

Combustion Research Corporation's infrared radiant systems deliver energy savings of 30–50% over conventional forced-air heating. Because radiant heat warms objects and occupants directly rather than heating the entire air volume, heat is not lost through drafts or stratification. Some facilities report savings of up to 75% in total energy costs depending on building conditions.

Combustion Research Corporation's product lineup covers BTU inputs from 30,000 BTU/hr up to 250,000 BTU/hr across Omega II, Reflect-O-Ray, and Synergy series. Single-stage, two-stage, and dual modulating configurations allow precise BTU matching to any facility size, from small service garages to large-scale distribution centers and manufacturing plants.

Yes. Stainless steel construction variants are available across the Reflect-O-Ray and Omega II product lines specifically for corrosive environments. These include natatoriums and aquatic centers with chloramine exposure, car and truck wash bays subject to road salt, ice arenas with high humidity, and chemical processing or plating facilities requiring superior corrosion resistance.

All Combustion Research Corporation heating systems are CSA International Design Certified to ANSI/CGA Standards, with applicable models complying with ANSI Z83.20 / CSA 2.34 for gas-fired low-intensity radiant tube heaters. Every unit undergoes 100% factory testing before shipment, and electronic flame monitoring with 3-try direct spark ignition and 100% safety lockout is standard across all product lines.
