Features
- True modulation adjustment of both air and gas allows precise control of the real-time response to actual heat demand.
- Burner housing design provides improved serviceability with screwless swing-down cabinet service access paired with a clamshell design and access latching system for easy access, which offers time savings with LP conversion and simplifies burner service and maintenance.
- Burner housing design features a refined shape, and an LED illuminating light, and we have skipped the screws again for this model.
- High-efficiency EC Motor with advanced whisper-quiet operation is 2-3x more efficient than standard Shaded Pole or PSC motors.
- Advanced whisper-quiet operation.
- Optimized reflector geometry provides a higher radiant factor and a more uniform heat distribution across the same heating surface.
- Emissive coated radiant tubes are designed to improve the thermal efficiency of infrared heaters.
Built with EC Motor technology
The latest advancement in infrared heating
Intuitive and enhanced operation
- Provides +85% energy efficiencies throughout a full range of operations, in addition to whisper-quiet operation.
- An EC Motor is 2x more efficient than a PSC motor (Permanent Split Capacitor) and 3x more efficient than a Shaded Pole AC motor which is commonly used for infrared tube heaters.
- A constant torque EC Motor leads to more robust and stable combustion through the heaters’ entire range of operation and external pressure changes.
- Schwank has engineered a customized control board (power input 24VDC) built specifically for the modulating superTube Series.
True modulating models
- The custom control board provides real-time optimization of fuel to air ratio for the perfect combustion through communicating with EC Motor and modulating gas valve.
- Eliminates temperature swings by pairing ECM technology with gas valves.
- The heating systems’ service life significantly increases as frequent ON/OFF cycles (cold starts) are reduced.
- Adapt the heat demand in the space, to maintain a consistent comfort level by truly modulating the heat.
Intelligent control technology for heating systems
- Optimized reflector geometry provides increased efficiency over conventional reflectors and maximizes heat distribution throughout the entire radiant area.
- Providing a more uniform heat distribution across the same heating surface.
