TABLE OF CONTENTS

This catalog describes the design and construction features
and benefits, typical applications, dimensional data, and
configurations available for the IHR and ITP Series.

Modine’s IHR Series is a gas-fired, high intensity ceramic
infrared heater. Ideal for spot heating, the IHR series offers
simple gas and power connections, as well as inexpensive
maintenance.

Modine's IPT Series sets the industry standard for low intensity
infrared heating performance and installation versatility. The
comfort and uniform heating provided by the IPT Series are
second to none.

Infrared Heating Defined

Infrared heating systems rely upon the transfer of radiant
energy from hot heat exchanger surfaces (up to 1850°F for high
intensity heaters) through the air to cooler surfaces, without the
use of an air mover. Since radiant energy always travels in a
straight line from its source, people and objects within a direct
line-of-sight of the heat exchanger become warmed immediately.

While capable of being used for total building heating or
large area heating, they are ideally suited for spot heating
applications. Spot heating involves small areas such as loading
dock doors and single person work cells.

Advantages of Infrared Heating

 No air mover, reducing electricity and maintenance costs

while increasing worker comfort from the absence of drafts
and annoying fan noise.

 Quick temperature recovery, as only objects need to be

heated, not large volumes of air.

 Significant energy savings through use of zone control and/

or spot heating, which heats objects without the need to heat
large air volumes.

Typical Applications

The following are examples of applications that can benefit from
high-intensity infrared heating:

 Manufacturing facilities
 Vehicle repair centers
 Warehouses and loading docks
 Aircraft hangars
 Indoor tennis courts
 Indoor golf driving ranges
 Emergency vehicle garages
 Indoor stadium seating areas

The following are examples of applications that can benefit from
low-intensity infrared heating:

 Manufacturing facilities
 Vehicle repair centers

MODINE BREEZE® ACCUSPEC SIZING & SELECTION PROGRAM

Modine Breeze® AccuSpec
Sizing and Selection Program

The Modine Breeze® AccuSpec is the fastest way to generate performance data based
on actual job conditions. The Breeze® AccuSpec program is a web-based sizing and
selection program. The program provides a series of step-by-step questions that allow
for the easy configuration of Modine products. After a model has been configured, the
program can generate Submittal Schedules, Submittal Data (including performance and
dimensional drawings), and Specifications.
