Environmental/ Safety

Catalytic gas-fired infrared ovens and infrared heating systems
are cost-efficient, and environmentally preferable to conventional
heating methods.  The only by-products of the catalytic reaction are water
vapor and carbon dioxide; the catalytic infrared process is virtually free of
NOx and CO. Natural gas is less costly than electricity in most regions, too.

Flameless, low-intensity infrared energy heats objects, rather than air,
so fuel efficiency is highest and worker safety is greatest.

Operation is simple and straightforward: natural gas or propane contacts
oxygen in the air in the presence of a catalyst. The chemical interaction
generates heat and reduces the gas to harmless carbon dioxide and
water vapor. There is no flame, because the reaction occurs at a
temperature below the ignition temperature of gas. 

Also:

• Catalytic long to medium wave length IR is more readily
absorbed than shorter wavelength infrared.

• The Catalytic infrared wavelength spectrum matches the
absorption spectrum of coatings and water.

• Operation is virtually maintenance-free.  Infrared ovens and heaters
have no moving parts, and there are no bulbs or tubes to replace.

• The catalytic infrared heaters provide uniform distribution of heat.

• Infrared oven and heating systems can be precisely zoned
to meet specific processing requirements.

• The infrared oven catalyst is not consumed during operation,
so catalytic infrared heaters deliver a long service life.
