Increased Occupant Comfort

Heating warehouses, industrial plants, and loading docks is both difficult and expensive.  Their high ceilings and frequently opened doors produce an environment in which forced air heat is an exercise in futility- hot air floats to the ceiling and out the open doors.  Despite huge energy bills staff are often cold.  Poorly heated employees cost money in the form of low productivity, higher turnover and increased accidents.  But there is a solution!  HotZONE heaters keep occupants toasty warm, through the simple strategy of heating people, not buildings.

Greatly Reduced Energy Costs

Focused IR HotZONE heaters permit the following strategy:  turn the thermostat down, way down, and supply heat only to zones where comfort is important.  Workers will be toasty warmand your energy bill will drop as much as 85 percent.  In many applications, the fuel savings will pay for the HotZONE heaters in a year or less.

The strategy is simple.  Rather than using convective systems to heat the roof or the great outdoors, shine a safe, quiet spot or band of infrared energy onto the people and workspaces that actually require heat.  With HotZONE heaters there is no preheat time required, and drafts, poor insulation, and open doors will not interrupt the infrared stream. HotZONE heaters are even approved for outdoor use; now you can heat people outdoors as well.

Radiant Optics IRLens™

Radiant Optics' patented, exclusive IRLens intensifies IR energy through multiple controlled reflectors.  Compared to other IR products, Radiant Optics' heaters increase efficiency (the ratio of input energy to delivered heat to target) from 300 to 500 percent.  Most IR applications to date are low intensity-tube heaters, which suffer from convective losses so high that they do not even pass the measured IR portion of the ASHRAE-supported ANSI test.  When using IR, why not apply the most energy-efficent IR on the market?

Clean-Burning Gas and High-Efficiency Electric Heaters

Our gas-fired heaters burn at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, producing so few by products that they require- unlike tube heaters-no mechanical or venting systems.  On the electric side, our heaters provide the highest efficiency (i.e. ratio of input energy to radiant output) radiant surface available.

Lightweight and Low Maintenance

The Director of Maintenance for a fortune 500 company using our products called HotZONE heaters "the lowest-maintenance HVAC device ever invented".  HotZONE heaters have no mechanical systems, they're lightweight, easy to install and can be positioned up high, away from machinery and sightlines.
