SECTION 3: INTRODUCTION
SECTION 3: INTRODUCTION
3.1 About Roberts-Gordon
Roberts-Gordon pioneered low-intensity infrared heating systems in 1962 with the introduction of its revolutionary custom-engineered CORAYVAC® system. After more than 40 years of infrared expertise in commercial and industrial applications, Roberts-Gor- don now offers the CGTH-Series heater for use in residential garages and light industrial/commercial applications.
3.2 About the Heater
The CGTH-Series is a factory-assembled, gas-fired, low-intensity heating system that incorporates a balanced flue. The system has been designed for easy installation and will provide years of economical operation and trouble-free service. Not only is infrared heat efficient, it also provides the most comfortable conditions in open areas, such as garages.
Gas-Fired means it uses clean-burning natural or LP gas.
Low-Intensity means that the radiant surface of the tube does not glow red. Instead, it operates at a lower temperature (less than 1000°F) and radiates energy at a lower intensity per square foot of radiating surface. The lower temperature and intensity levels are within a range that is most effective in establishing and maintaining personal comfort levels. An aluminum reflector directs the radiant energy downward to the occupied area.
Balanced Flue means that the burner draws combustion air from outdoors and exhausts the products of combustion, also to the outdoors, through a shared opening. This is accomplished through two concentric tubes.
Radiant refers to the energy radiated by the CGTHSeries heater. Because the energy is in the form of infrared rays, it does not directly heat the air. Instead, the rays heat objects such as the floor, cars, machines and people. The warm objects, in turn, heat the air.
These combined features are the key to the exceptional comfort and fuel efficiency provided by the CGTH-Series heater.
3.3 Unpacking the Heater
3.3.1 Manpower Requirements
To prevent personal injury and damage to the heater, two persons will be required to remove the heater from the carton. Both ends of the heater should be
lifted from the carton at the same time. The burner should be lifted by gripping the bottom. The reflector of the heater should be lifted using the hanger.
3.3.2 Safety
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Wear protective gloves when handling aluminum reflectors.
Edges are sharp.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.
Thin sheet metal parts, such as the reflector portion of the heater and the various venting components, have sharp edges. To prevent injury, the use of work gloves is recommended. The use of gloves will also prevent the transfer of body oils from the hands to the surface of the reflector.
