TOPICS FOR TODAY
• Infrared Heating vs. Conventional Air Heating• How Infrared Works• High Efficiency Infrared Heating
– Modulating Unitary: Modulus– Fully Condensing Custom Systems– Trigomax High Efficiency Unitary
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
INFRARED HEATING VS
CONVENTIONAL AIR HEATING

SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE4
UNIT HEATER – TYPICAL AIR HEATING
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE5
UNIT HEATER•Advantages:
– Inexpensive installation– Quick to install
• Disadvantages:– High Operating Costs
• Power for Blower Motor
– Increases Heat Loss and Stratification• Increases Infiltration
– Requires Higher Room Temperatures for Comfort• Colder Surrounding Temperatures• Drafty (uncomfortable)
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE6
INFRARED HEATING
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE7
INFRARED HEATING - ADVANTAGES
• Lower operating costs– Low electrical power consumption
• Reduces heat loss/Reduced fuel consumption– Reduces infiltration– Lower required room temperature
• Warm surrounding temperatures (from warm surfaces)• No drafts
INCREASED COMFORT AT LOWER AIR TEMPERATURES
HIGHER MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE (MRT)
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE8
• Conventional heating has greatest heat loss in roof and upper walls
• Conventional heat is not where it is needed, particularly in high buildings
• Infrared provides heat where it is needed – People and machines
• Infrared provides greatly reduced temperature stratification
SRP INFRARED SAVES $$
30-50% FUEL SAVINGS ARE TYPICAL FOR INFRARED HEATING COMPARED TO TYPICAL AIR HEATING METHODS!
COMFORT IS IMPROVED!

HOW INFRARED WORKS

SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE10
SCIENCE OF INFRARED
Sir William Herschel, astronomer, discovered infrared in 1800
Found that the temperature beyond red color of the spectrum was high
The rays were called ‘calorific’ rays and were later known as ‘infra-red’ rays – “beyond red”
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
HOW DOES INFRARED ENERGY HEAT?...Like the Sun
• Direct – Line of Site• Indirect – Reradiated• Infrared – Obeys All Optical
(Mechanical) Mechanisms
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE (MRT)
The Net Amount of Radiant Energy Available from Surfaces to Provide Comfort
Radiant Comfort Occurs as Energy is Exchanged Between Surfaces
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
IMPACT OF HIGHER MRT
Lower Air Temperatures Less Heat Loss than Designed
Reduced Transmission Losses Reduced Air Change Losses
Reduced Stratification Radiant Heat where Needed
