| Schwank radiant tube heaters are ideal for a wide range of heating applications, including those with ceiling heights in the 9 to 30 foot range. Dusty or negative air conditions are no problem since fresh outside combustion air can be ducted to the burner for safe and trouble-free ‘sealed combustion’.
Fuel combustion takes place within a hollow steel tube – no open flame. Tube surface temperatures up to 600°C (1100°F) generate comfortable infrared radiant heat. Schwank tube heaters offer excellent efficiency and performance since the flame is up to five times longer than that in competing products. The result is higher infrared efficiency and more uniform heat distribution. Fuel savings of 35% to 50% versus conventional heating systems are typically realized.
See How; Principles of Radiant Tube Heaters.
Innovation: a further innovation is a 2-stage feature, which is widely known from boilers and luminous heaters. This technology allows control of the heat output according to the actual heat requirement at any time. It is not always best to heat at full throttle – economical 2-stage heaters improve heating comfort.
Application areas:
- Industrial factories
- Warehousing and Logistics buildings
- Vehicle service garages and Wash Bays
- Welding and fabricating shops
- Sports facilities
- Show rooms
- Churches
