Commercial Radiant Infrared Heaters

BTU sizing depends on ceiling height, square footage, insulation levels, and desired temperature rise. Combustion Research Corporation offers systems from 30,000 BTU up to 250,000 BTU per unit, with custom heat loss calculations and design services available to determine the correct configuration for your space.

Vacuum-fired systems use an exhauster to draw combustion gases through the radiant tube, making them suitable for longer straight or U-configuration runs. Power-vented units use a blower to push exhaust gases out, offering flexible venting options and easier installation in facilities with limited roof access.

Yes. Most models, including the Reflect-O-Ray and Omega II series, are available in dual-fuel configurations supporting both natural gas (NG) and propane/LP gas, allowing facilities without natural gas hookups to still benefit from radiant infrared heating.

Stainless steel construction is recommended for corrosive or high-humidity environments such as natatoriums, wash bays, ice arenas, and chemical processing facilities to resist chloramine, moisture, and road salt corrosion. Powder-coated burner housings are generally sufficient for standard warehouse and industrial use.

Facilities typically realize 30-50% energy savings compared to conventional forced-air heating systems. This is due to direct radiant heat transfer to objects and occupants, reduced heat loss through open doors, and elimination of duct-related energy losses common in conventional systems.

Systems include a 10-year warranty on radiant tubes against internally created corrosion, plus 1-3 year warranties on burner components, ignition controls, and electrical parts depending on the specific model and configuration selected.
