Cata-Dyne WX Explosion-Proof Infrared Gas Catalytic Heater, 5,000 BTU, Natural Gas

The Cata-Dyne WX Series infrared gas catalytic explosion-proof heaters are the industry standard for hazardous location heating needs. They are available in over twenty, three-inch depth cabinet sizes, with gas, electrical and accessory connections on the back side of the heater. The Industry Standard - Cata-Dyne heaters boast the most efficient conversion of hydrocarbon fuels to infrared energy compared to any competitive brand on the market today, with over a quarter of a million units in service during our 40-year history and an exceptional safety record. Designed for both hazardous and non-hazardous applications, Cata-Dyne is the benchmark in innovation for space or spot heating. Customer Care - Thermon's state of the art, 105,000 sq. ft., Edmonton manufacturing facility is designed to ensure our worldwide customer base of the most efficient explosion-proof and general purpose infrared gas catalytic heaters and heating systems for use in industrial heating. We are the only fully integrated infrared gas catalytic manufacturing plant in the world, sharing our unique technology and manufacturing techniques with three other manufacturing facilities. This enables us to exert greater quality control over our product lines and allows us to respond quickly to our customer's special heating application needs. Infrared Technology Infrared is smart. It heats only what needs to be heated: personnel or equipment within a facility, not the surrounding airInfrared is direct. It takes less time and energy to do the job Infrared is versatile. It handles a large variety of process and space heating applications Infrared is environmentally friendly. It helps surpass today's ever-tightening standardsInfrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy that is generated by the vibration and rotation of atoms and molecules within all objects with temperatures above absolute zero (0 Kelvin; -273 C; or -459 F).Electromagnetic energy, which travels at the speed of light, is comprised of waves that can be measured both electrically and magneticallyApplications: WX Series heaters are used in many different applications that involve spot or space heating where hazardous materials may be present.
