DESCRIPTION
Reznor High Intensity Infrared Models RIH, RIHV are designed to pro-
vide personal comfort heating with reduced energy cost. Units are available in
sizes from 30,000 through 200,000 BTUH gas input for use with natural gas
and sizes from 50,000 through 120,000 BTUH gas input for use with propane.
Infrared heaters can best be compared to the sun in how they heat. On a
bright sunny day, you can feel the infrared rays of the sun heating your skin
surface. The same infrared rays are also heating the concrete sidewalks and
buildings. Infrared heating equipment works the same way - it warms people,
heats floors, walls, machinery and other surfaces, without heating the air
between. The “infrared heated” objects in turn warm the surrounding air.
Eliminated are the costly ceiling heat losses and discomforts of cold air strati-
fication that are so familiar with conventional forced air heating systems.
Infrared heat assures floor level comfort with fuel savings up to 50%. Electri-
cal energy is also saved because there is no need for a fan or blower.
In addition to the gas and electric energy savings, infrared heaters have
other economical installation and operational features. Model RIH, RIHV
heaters can be suspended by chains from a joist or mounted to a wall, making
them well suited for space or spot heating. Direct venting is not required.
Operational service and maintenance requirements are minimal due to the
absence of moving parts.
Some sizes can be ordered with optional 2-stage heating. The first stage
will fire at 1/2 or 2/3 of total capacity. If more heat is required second stage will
fire for full capacity. A 2-stage thermostat must be used with 2-stage heaters.
Two-stage operation provides fewer on/off cycles for improved comfort and
longer life.
Model RIH, RIHV high intensity infrared units are design certified for use
in The United States and Canada by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
