INTRODUCTION
TO INFRA-RED HEATING
|
Gas
fired infra-red heaters are highly efficient producers of infra-red
energy that can be used in numerous heating applications. Their
greatest uses to date have been in the heating of industrial and
commercial buildings, spot and area heating, commercial food broiling
and cooking and in process heating ovens.
A Solaronics installation at GM's Inland Division plant in Euclid,
Ohio slashed energy costs 75% during a single heating season. Prior
energy costs in the warehouse were running around $106,000 per year.
After installing Solaronics gas infra-red heaters, energy costs
plummeted to $27,000.*
Equally important was employee comfort. Under the old forced-air
system, complaints were numerous. After installation, morale improved
greatly. So the combination of Solaronics and efficient gas not
only delivered energy savings but employee comfort as well. And
with a payback period of less than 15 months.
GM's Inland Division is just one of many installations realizing
incredible savings by switching to Solaronics gas infra-red heaters.
Most infra-red users can expect to realize 30-50% average fuel reductions
when compared with conventional heating systems.
