Welcome to Applications - Auto Service Centers


Equipment Selection:   Depending on mounting height requirements, a full range of infra-red heater models is available for application into auto service centers. Typically, tubes (75,000-150,000 BTU’s) are most commonly applied, but also popular are high intensity DR Heaters (30,000-90,000 BTU’s). The use of DRV vacuum systems is usually prohibitive due to size and cost constraints. The HL Series provides faster heat recoveries as doors are opened and closed. Heaters are thermostatically controlled and very often interlocked with ventilation, if using the unvented DR Series.

Installation:  Apply the heaters on a perimeter mounted design when applicable. Stack the door areas with extra units, or locate tube burner boxes there to provide extra heat. Take care to avoid violating the published clearances to combustibles with doors in the open position and/or lifts (with cars on them) in the up position. Common applications also utilize tubes located between lift rows (center of the building) or along side a wall with the heat shined inward. Outside combustion air is highly recommended. Lastly, do not place any heater inside of a paint booth.
