Abstract
A gas fired infrared radiant heating system of improved thermal output. The present invention solves problems associated with prior art designs by providing a single gas delivery system for delivering combustible gas to two or more burner assemblies. The invention consists of a burner housing ( ) with two or more burner assemblies ( ), each of which can be connected to a typical radiant tube heat exchanger assembly ( ). The burner housing contains a single gas delivery system including a valve ( ), a single control circuit module ( ), a single blower proving switch ( ), and a single manifold ( ) which will distribute the gas to the multiple radiant tube heat exchanger assemblies ( ). In addition, in positive pressure configurations, the burner housing will also have a single air fan ( ), whereas in negative pressure configurations of the heating system one or more exhaust fans may be utilized. The foregoing design will provide a higher thermal output without the heat distribution and installation cost problems of the currently available infrared heaters.
