SPACE-RAY®…A TRUSTED NAME IN INFRARED HEATING
At Space-Ray, industrial comfort heating is a challenge we take seriously. We have
been manufacturing gas-fired infrared heating systems since 1949. The quality and
performance of our heaters are based on over 50 years of field experience and exposure to a wide variety of industrial heating problems. Our reputation is built upon a
solid track record for providing radiant efficient, easy-to-install and high quality infrared heating equipment.
Space-Ray infrared tube heaters are ideal for complete building heat or even spot heating needs.The best applications include:manufacturing plants, warehouses, auto dealerships, aircraft hangars, loading docks, weld shops, truck or auto service areas, car
washes, fire stations, greenhouses, gymnasiums, garages, machine shops, tennis
courts, swimming pools, maintenance shops, farm buildings and many many more.
HEATING TECHNOLOGY FOR THE NEXT MILLENNIUM
Space-Ray infrared heaters heat like the sun by transferring radiant heat energy directly
to the areas to be heated. Radiant energy is absorbed by concrete floors, objects and
people, and re-radiated to warm the surrounding area. This principle is similar to the sun’s
radiant heat energy heating the Earth but not the upper atmosphere.This heating technology creates a comfort zone at floor level, not at the ceiling, and is much more efficient
than conventional forced air heating systems.
PTS Series
30%-50% FUEL SAVINGS
A highly radiant efficient Space-Ray infrared heating system can normally save a building owner 30% to 50% in annual fuel costs when compared to forced air heating systems. In fact, some Space-Ray customers report fuel savings as high as 70% with a
payback of less than one year. With a Space-Ray system, your investment payback accrues not only from reduced energy costs, but from reduced maintenance costs, too.
So when you think industrial heating, think Space-Ray. Call us at 1-800-438-4936 for
the name of our representative nearest you.
