“ Sun-Heat” radiant system directs the heat down where it belongs…
fuel savings of 30% to 50%
Compare conventional warm air to infra-red radiant heat.
Warm Air
Radiant Heat
The balance of the radiant heat is reflected from the heating surface to be absorbed by surrounding cool surfaces.
A part of the secondary ray energy, now of longer wave length, is absorbed by moisture and particles in the air, which helps to raise the temperature.
As a secondary effect, the room temperature is raised by convective transfer from the heated surface.
Infra-red rays travel in divergent straight lines from heat source to all surfaces and objects without heating the air they pass through.
In addition to those rays which travel directly from the heat source, other rays are re-directed downward by a mirror surfaced reflector.

No air movement, but same comfort level, with lower thermostat setting.
No stacking effect; greatly reduces static pressure at the roof line, reducing costly infiltration.
With the comfort of warm floors, building is heated from floor up instead of from roof down.
Low stack temperature 300°
Reradiation from concrete mass results in even temperature throughout the building.
Negative pressure at the perimeter of building allows for infiltration.
High temperature or static pressure at the roof line increases heat transfer through roof.
The higher the bay area, the higher the static pressure.
Because of air movement in the building space, thermostat must be set higher to achieve comfort level.
Cold floors in most cases are 10° less than thermostat setting.
Listed by CSA for vented or unvented application.
20% to 25% stack loss
120oand higher. Discharged air rises to roof line.
What is infra-red and how does it work?
A portion of the ray’s energy is absorbed by cooler receiving surfaces.Conduction carries some of the heat deeper into the heated material creating a heat reservoir.
