TUBE HEATER
VACUUM SYSTEM
Description
Vacuum type tube heaters are negative pressure gas-
fired infrared heaters designed to provide comfort
heat. They consist of four (4) main components: a
burner control box, radiant tube, reflector assembly,
and vacuum exhauster. The heaters are typically
suspended from the ceiling by chains and controlled
by a thermostat. They can be installed either vented
or unvented, and may use outside air for combustion
if necessary. The radiant tube may be installed in
different configurations depending on the heating
requirements.

• · These heaters use infrared energy to heat spaces.
· When heat is required, the burner control box ignites
a gas/air mixture and the vacuum pulls the hot gases
into th~ radiant tube. As the gases pass through the
assembly, the tubing is heated and emits infrared,
which is then directed toward the floor by reflectors.
This is known as primary infrared and is absorbed
by the floor, objects and people in the space, raising
their temperatures. They in turn reradiate this heat,
known as secondary infrared, to create a comfort zone
at the floor level. This is how tube heaters can heat

WARNING/
In locations used for the storage of combustible
materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum
permissible stacking height to maintain the required
clearances from the heater to the combustibles. Signs
must either be posted adjacent to the heater thermostats
or in the absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous
location.
