Infrared heaters
Fast curing & flameless, ideal for Hazardous areas
Catalytic Industrial Systems’ (CIS) gas catalytic heaters are safe, efficient, and easy to use. The heaters are offered in multiple sizes, BTU ratings, and configurations to meet varying application requirements. CIS catalytic heaters are available standalone or can be preconfigured onto racks and subassemblies with control systems to simplify installation and operation tasks.
Flameless gas catalytic infrared heaters are ideally suited for hazardous areas, and CIS provides them for a wide range of uses, including combination spray-cure booths, paint rooms, facilities that use powdered metals, and chemical, paint and petrochemical storage; and also areas where there are flammable or explosive materials.

how Infrared heat works
CIS gas catalytic heaters offer unique features when compared to other heating technologies. Unlike traditional gas heaters, CIS gas catalytic heaters burns the gas at significantly lower temperature to provide uniformed, controlled results every time. The radiant energy emitted by the CIS heaters is a long wave length infrared energy, which is more readily absorbed by most materials than the shorter wave energy used by many competitive systems, thus assuring lower operating cost and faster cures. Multiple heater sizes allows configurations to process virtually any shape or size of products to be cured.

Hazardous Area Heaters keep workers safe at Transit facilities
Catalytic flameless gas infrared systems can be used as hazardous area heaters in transit fueling and storage facilities. In the winter months across the USA many transit bus maintenance facilities have to work on busses with less than ideal conditions. The buses are in a garage but because of the dangers of combustible materials there are few safe options for heat.
Catalytic Gas Infrared heaters are an ideal option to provide area flameless heat. With a single small CIS heater mounted above each work station inside bus barns and maintenance facilities., shop technicians are able to work comfortably and safely. Catalytic heaters are safe, efficient, and flameless; they have been approved for use in Class 1 Division 1 and Group D areas by CSA and FM since 1967.

OPERATING A CIS CATALYTIC HEATER
CIS catalytic heaters requires both electricity and gas to operate. Electric power is required to preheat the heater. During startup, the enclosed electric heating element (ITEM E) is turned on for about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the catalyst has been preheated, gas can be introduced via the safety valve (not labeled) to begin the catalytic heating process. Gas enters the heater via the dispersion tube assembly (ITEM B) and is dispersed by the dispersion screen (ITEM C). The gas diffuses through the insulation (ITEM D) to come in contact with the catalyst (ITEM G) to initiate the catalytic reaction. Infrared energy is emitted and the only byproducts of the catalytic reaction are CO2 and water vapor. The thermocouple is used to control the safety valve or the gas solenoid valve. If the catalyst falls below safe operating temperature, the thermocouple will shut off the gas valve to prevent gas from being emitted.
