Whether you need to heat your warehouse, garage, or other hard-to-heat spaces, the SunStar SPS/U Series infrared heaters provide both the field efficiency of radiant heat and the installation flexibility you need.
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 any commercial or industrial heating needs.
The minimum mounting heights are shown for human comfort and uniform energy distribution for complete building applications. Mount heaters as high as possible. CSA certified. This product has 5 year limited warranty on tubes and 1 year limited warranty on unit. This product is made in USA.
TISS™ Tube Integrity Safety Shut-Off System
SunStar’s patent pending innovative safety feature for positive pressure radiant tube heaters is called the “Tube Integrity Safety System” (TISS™).
In the unlikely event of a tube failure, TISS™ has been designed to automatically shut off the heater. The revolutionary TISS™ uses a simple principle to place an electrically insulated aluminum wire in tension above the reflector. Low voltage is then continuously passed along the wire in line with the gas control circuit. If heat levels increase due to heat exchanger failure, the wire melts and the safety circuit is broken, breaking the 24 volt circuit and shutting down the heater.
Note: Since straight tubes are always hotter at the burner end than at the exhaust end, always observe the minimum recommended mounting heights shown on the specification sheet for greatest human comfort. Use SIU series instead of SIS series for spot heating applications.
Features:
