Gas Radiant Infrared Tube Heaters

Combustion Research Corporation manufactures gas radiant infrared tube heaters built for warehouses, hangars, service bays, manufacturing plants, agricultural buildings, and other demanding facilities. Engineered to heat floors, equipment, vehicles, and people directly—not wasted ceiling air—these systems help reduce operating costs, improve comfort, protect floor space, and deliver durable performance in high-bay, door-cycling environments.

Our Gas Radiant Infrared Tube Heaters Services

Engineered gas infrared tube heater options for large, small, corrosive, high-bay, and door-cycling facilities.

Reflect-O-Ray

Custom-engineered negative-pressure systems for large commercial and industrial facilities, offering optimized coverage, strong fuel efficiency, and options for warehouses, hangars, natatoriums, CNG bays, and high-bay applications.

Omega II

Unitary power-vented radiant tube heaters for commercial and industrial zones where a custom vacuum system is not required but efficient low-intensity infrared heat is still needed.

Serengeti-IR

Compact 40K-60K BTU gas-fired infrared tube heaters for smaller commercial, light-industrial, agricultural, single-bay, workshop, and brooder heating applications requiring durable radiant performance.

Warehouse Heating

Radiant tube heating systems for distribution centers and 3PL warehouses, designed to reduce heat loss from dock door cycles and warm occupied levels instead of ceiling air.

Manufacturing Heating

Infrared heating for production floors, work cells, welding bays, fabrication areas, and industrial plants where process exhaust and high ceilings challenge forced-air systems.

Hangar Heating

Gas-fired radiant systems engineered for aircraft hangars, FBOs, MRO facilities, and high-bay buildings with large doors that regularly displace heated air.

Engineered Heat

Efficient Heat for Demanding Facilities

Gas radiant infrared tube heaters are designed for facilities where comfort, recovery time, and fuel economy matter. By warming occupied surfaces directly, Combustion Research systems reduce wasted heat in tall spaces, recover quickly after door cycles, and keep mechanical components off the floor. Available in vacuum, power-vented, compact, stainless, natural gas, propane, and select oil-fired configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are infrared tube heaters efficient?

Yes. Gas radiant infrared tube heaters can be highly efficient because they transfer heat directly to floors, equipment, vehicles, inventory, and people instead of heating the full air volume near the roof. Combustion Research systems are documented to reduce energy use by 30-50% compared with conventional forced-air heating in comparable commercial and industrial applications.
