Dayton  High-Intensity Heaters
®
Description
Dayton high-intensity heaters become highly efficient generators 
of infrared radiation by heating a ceramic refractory material to 
incandescence.  The principal operation is to pass a gas-air mixture 
through a perforated ceramic refractory, and ignite it on the refractory 
surface.  This causes the ceramic material to be heated to approximately 
1780°F and generate large amounts of infrared radiation that may be 
directed anywhere heat is desired.  Infrared radiation heats people and 
objects it strikes and not the intervening air.  Included is a direct spark 
ignition system, manifold pressure tap, porous ceramic grids, a polished 
aluminum reflector and a chain set for hanging the heater.  Typical 
applications are loading docks, warehouses, service garages, factories, 
aircraft hangars, etc.
