Product Summary

The Cata-Dyne BX Series infrared gas catalytic heater with a 'G' Series catalytic pad is designed for use in non-hazardous heating applications such as infrared drying and curing ovens. It is fitted with a patented high-temperature catalyst pad, operates on either natural or propane fuel, and is available in a wide variety of cabinet sizes. Applications - The large surface area of the Cata-Dyne heater allows for efficient transfer of infrared heat that can be used in a variety of applications including: - facility space heating - process heating - freeze protection - comfort heating for personnel - ovens. Cata-Dyne™ gas catalytic explosion-proof heaters are available in various models with Btu ratings ranging from 1,000 to 48,000 Btu/hr (0.3 kW to 14.0 kW). In addition, these heaters can be banked together to obtain any Btu (kW) rating desired. Thermon's Cata-Dyne™ heaters are competitively priced, simple to install and operate, and require minimal maintenance under normal operating conditions. These heaters are economical to operate and highly efficient. The Industry Standard - Cata-Dyne™ heaters boast the most efficient conversion of hydrocarbon fuels to infrared energy compared to any competitive brand on the market today, with over a quarter of a million units in service during our 40-year history and an exceptional safety record. Designed for both hazardous and non-hazardous applications, Cata-Dyne™ is the benchmark in innovation for space or spot heating. Thermon has set the industry standard for total quality customer service by offering same or next-day product delivery. Every heater manufactured or repaired by Thermon undergoes stringent safety and performance testing in accordance with all applicable Safety Certification standards including CSA and FM. Our ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of our customers includes free product safety instruction sessions by our field sales professionals covering everything from an overview of basic infrared technology to detailed explanations of how our unique Cata-Dyne™ catalytic technology works.

What's Included

Features + Benefits

  • Applications: The large surface area of the Cata-Dyne™ heater allows for efficient transfer of infrared heat that can be used in a variety of applications including: - Facility space heating - Process heating - Freeze protection - Comfort heating for personnel - Ovens
  • Certifications: G Series catalytic pad is certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Factory Mutual (FM) and (European standards) for non-hazardous area applications.
  • Internal heater components such as our proprietary catalyst pad and preheat Caloritech™ tubular element are manufactured in-house
  • Multiple Btu input ratings and a variety of standard heater sizes are available
  • Offered in a variety of preheating voltages
  • Natural gas (NG) or propane (LPG) configurations
  • 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.
  • Ideally, Cata?Dyne™ heaters should be mounted 1 ft to 3 ft (0.3 m to 1 m) from the floor and equally spaced around the building perimeter for space heating applications.
  • If low mounting is not practical, then overhead mounting may be utilized. Overhead mounted heaters should be sloped face down to a maximum 45° angle to direct the infrared energy towards the floor. Overhead mounting should be restricted to heaters of 30,000 Btu/hr (8.8 kW) capacity and larger.
  • If the building requires only one heater, place the Cata?Dyne™ heater as close as possible to the center of the longest wall.
