SPS & SPU Series
PUSH THROUGH (POSITIVE PRESSURE)
INFRARED TUBE HEATER
SunStar infrared tube heaters are ideal for complete building heat or spot heating needs. The best
applications are those where doors open and close frequently and in buildings where ceiling heights
are above ten feet. The flexible SunStar infrared heating system can be designed to meet most
commercial or industrial heating need.
SPS SERlES
Available in multiple configurations (straight, L, Z and
expanded U-configuration) with lengths up to 70 feet.
Ideal for complete building heating.
SPU SERIES
Provides more uniform radiant heat energy distribution.
Ideal for high heat loss areas and spot heating.

7 different BTU sizes and more than 60 different
configurations to custom design your infrared
heating system

Products of combustion are pushed through the
combustion chamber

Minimum Mounting Heights
are shown as a guideline for

Mount heaters as high as
possible. Since straight tubes
are always hotter at the burn-
er end than at the exhaust
end, always use U-tube heat-
er configuration for spot or
area heating applications.

Clearances
To Combustibles
Infrared Heater installations
require that minimum clear-

nces shall be maintained
from combustible materials at
a
ll times. The clearances
below the heater can vary
from 40” to 132” based on the
model and the type of heater
selected.
