Infrared Technology -
  • Infrared is smart. it heats only what needs to be heated: personnel or equipment within a facility, not the surrounding air.
  • Infrared is direct. it takes less time and energy to do the job.
  • Infrared is versatile. it handles a large variety of process and space-heating applications.

    • Choice of manual control or electronic control options
    • Multiple heater mounting bracket configurations are available
    • The heater contains no moving parts and is designed to operate indefinitely when supplied with air and clean fuel
    • Space Heating: A separate heat load calculation should be done for each building in which a Cata?Dyne™ heater will be installed for space heating purposes.
    • Space Heating: The heat load calculation determines the building heat losses through the structure and allows for air infiltration. For sample Heat Load Calculation, visit: www.thermon.com.
    • Cata?Dyne™ heaters produce low intensity infrared heat that is absorbed by objects within the range of the heat source. The closer the object is to the source of heat the more heat the object will absorb. Cata?Dyne™ heaters should be placed close to the floor level within the building to heat objects close to the floor.
