Industrial Ceramic Heaters Built to Last

Industrial ceramic heaters are used for fast, targeted radiant comfort in production floors, work cells, loading docks, service bays, warehouses, hangars, CNG repair facilities, and protected outdoor areas. Combustion Research Corporation’s Synergy ceramic infrared systems heat people, floors, tools, and equipment directly, making them useful where large air volumes, open doors, or exhaust ventilation make forced-air heating inefficient.

Forced-air systems heat building air, which rises in high-bay spaces and is quickly lost when doors open. Ceramic infrared heaters emit radiant energy that warms occupied surfaces directly. That means faster comfort at the floor, less wasted heat near the ceiling, and documented energy savings of 30-50% over conventional forced-air systems in many industrial applications.

Single-stage Synergy heaters are ideal when a zone needs simple on-demand radiant heat and fast recovery. Dual-stage Synergy heaters step output up or down based on ambient conditions, helping reduce excess heat and fuel use. Dual-stage models are often preferred for energy-conscious facilities, variable occupancy, or areas where heat demand changes during a shift.

Combustion Research Corporation’s Synergy single-stage systems are available in 30K-60K, 70K-100K, 110K-160K, and 175K-200K BTU ranges. Synergy dual-stage systems are available in 90K-100K, 120K-160K, and 200K BTU ranges. Final selection should be based on mounting height, heat loss, occupied zone size, fuel type, and required clearance to combustibles.

Synergy high-intensity ceramic infrared heaters do not require direct venting, which can reduce roof penetrations and simplify installation in many commercial and industrial applications. Ventilation and combustion air requirements still need to be coordinated with applicable codes, the authority having jurisdiction, and the project’s mechanical design. CRC provides specifications and submittal data to support that review.

Yes. Combustion Research Corporation’s applicable infrared heating systems are CSA International Design Certified to ANSI/CGA Standards, including ANSI Z83.20 / CSA 2.34. Certification helps engineers, facility owners, and code officials evaluate product compliance during specification. CRC systems are also referenced in MasterSpec resources, supporting documentation for new construction and retrofit project submittals.

Pricing is quoted by facility square footage, ceiling height, BTU sizing, fuel type, construction requirements, and installation conditions. Natural gas, propane, electric, and specialty construction options may affect the final recommendation. To start, gather drawings or dimensions, mounting height, target zones, door cycle information, and fuel availability, then request a quote through a CRC representative.

CRC manufacturer warranties include a 10-year radiant tube warranty for Omega II, Reflect-O-Ray, and Serengeti-IR systems against internally created corrosion, plus a 3-year burner control warranty. Synergy systems carry a 1-year limited warranty. Engineering support is available throughout the specification process, helping teams review BTU sizing, clearances, fuel selection, and application fit.
