SunStar SG Ceramic Infrared Gas Heater Features
- Ceramic Infrared Gas Heater, 30,000 To 155,000 BTU: Twelve models from the 30,000 BTU SG3-N up to the SG15-N, so you can size heat to a single work station, a loading dock or a whole shop floor.
- Heats People, Not The Air: Radiant energy warms the floor, equipment and people directly, creating a comfort zone at floor level. SunStar cites fuel savings of 30% to 50% compared with forced air heating.
- Dimpled Tile Burner: The dimpled tile assembly increases radiant efficiency, and aluminum reflectors push that output down to the work area instead of into the roof.
- Direct Spark Ignition With 100% Shut Off: Automatic direct spark ignition on 120 VAC with a 120/24 V transformer included, plus a 100% gas shut off safety control if the flame is lost.
- Aluminized Steel Construction: Aluminized steel resists corrosion in garages, wash bays and farm buildings. Design certified for angle mounting up to 30 degrees.
- Ships By UPS: Compact enough to ship by UPS instead of freight, which saves time and cost on replacement units. Ideal for swapping out an existing ceramic heater.
