Swhwank Gas Fired Radiant Tube heater

Innovative and Economical

Schwank’s infrared gas heater tube range offers low intensity heat and exceptional energy efficiency. By generating radiant energy, these gas heaters work on the principle of the sun, the heat being created when it comes into contact with people and objects. 

Low heat intensity makes Schwank gas heater tube systems particularly suitable for installation in low ceiling buildings. However, their excellent performance standards and system design flexibility mean that they can conform to a wide variety of building interior requirements. This flexibility is enhanced by the ability of radiant gas heaters to apply heating to selected zones, thus ensuring the most efficient use of energy and reducing operating costs.

Additionally, being suspended from the ceiling means that these gas heater tube systems maximise usable interior space, being at a level where they cause no obstruction to workplace activities. Comfortable working temperatures are produced where and when they are needed, with the gas heaters maintaining a discreet and unobtrusive presence.

Recycling waste heat

Furthermore, Schwank gas heater tube systems can be used in a unique low-cost heat recovery method which has been found to achieve increases in heating output of up to 110%. This is possible by employing Schwank’s tetraSchwank heat recovery system, together with the Schwank ThermoControl Plus intelligent heating control system to exploit flue gas heat without using any intermediate heat storage capacity or medium.

This works in the following way:

• tetraSchwank is integrated into the flue gas tract of a Schwank tube gas heater
• With a connected load of maximum 40kW, it recovers the heat energy contained in flue gas emissions through a counter-flow process using condensing technology
• Heat recovered by this method is reintroduced immediately into the building

This heat recovery method serves the dual purpose of further the reducing operating costs and environmental impact of radiant gas heater systems that are already highly energy efficient.
