CONVECTION HEAT
Forced air convection heat works from
the top down, heating the air first and
stratifying from the ceiling downward.
More heat is wasted in the upper area
the building.
INFRARED HEAT
Infrared heat works from the bottom
up, warming people, floors, objects
and machines first. Comfortable heat
is retained in the lower working areas
of your building.
A Complete Family of Products
SunStar offers a complete line of infrared heating products including
tube heaters, ceramic heaters and construction heaters. All SunStar
heaters are available for use on either natural gas or propane. Included
in the SunStar product line are both positive and negative pressure
tube heaters with sizes from 40,000 -200,000 BTU/hr. Also included
is the SunStar “Eclipse” series of compact (9’ 2” overall length) tube
heaters that are certified for residential garage applications and range
in size from 25,000-45,000 BTU/Hr. Additional products include both
direct spark ignition and millivolt control high intensity ceramic
infrared heaters with sizes that range from 26,000-155,000 BTU/Hr,
and for temporary heat SunStar offers the robust, 100,000 BTU/Hr
manually or thermostatically controlled RCH series construction
heaters.
Heat Like the Sun
All SunStar infrared heaters heat like the sun by transferring radiant
heat energy directly into the area to be heated. This radiant heat energy
is then absorbed by concrete floors, objects and people and is then re-
radiated to warm the surrounding area. This creates a warm comfort
zone at floor level, not at the ceiling. This principle is similar to the
sun’s radiant heat energy heating the Earth but not the upper atmos-
phere.
Competitive Heaters Are Blowing Hot Air
In conventional forced air convection heating systems, hot air rises to
the ceiling and must stratify downward to achieve a comfortable work
environment. Then a door opens and heat is lost. With infrared heat,
it’s the radiant heat energy itself that heats from the floor up, satisfying
the work area first. Now when doors open and close, most of the heat
energy remains, allowing for a quicker recovery period and a more
efficient and effective heating system.
Lower Your Fuel Bills
Gas infrared heat provides both warmth and comfort. In many appli-
cations building owners experience fuel savings of between 30% to
50% when compared to forced air convection heating systems, and
reported fuel savings have been as high as 70% in very large buildings.
With SunStar products, investment payback accrues not only from re-
duced energy costs, but from the reduced maintenance costs too.
SunStar infrared heaters offer real comfort, versatility and unbeatable
value, so choose comfort and choose SunStar.
