The Industry Standard - Cata-Dyne™ heaters boast the most efficient conversion of hydrocarbon fuels to infrared energy compared to any competitive brand on the market today, with over a quarter of a million units in service during our 40-year history and an exceptional safety record. Designed for both hazardous and non-hazardous applications, Cata-Dyne™ is the benchmark in innovation for space or spot heating.
Customer Care - Thermon's state of the art, 105,000 sq. ft., Edmonton manufacturing facility is designed to ensure our worldwide customer base of the most efficient explosion-proof and general purpose infrared gas catalytic heaters and heating systems for use in industrial heating. We are the only fully integrated infrared gas catalytic manufacturing plant in the world, sharing our unique technology and manufacturing techniques with three other manufacturing facilities. This enables us to exert greater quality control over our product lines and allows us to respond quickly to our customer's special heating application needs.
Infrared Technology
- Infrared is smart. It heats only what needs to be heated: personnel or equipment within a facility, not the surrounding air
- Infrared is direct. It takes less time and energy to do the job
- Infrared is versatile. It handles a large variety of process and space heating applications
- Infrared is environmentally friendly. It helps surpass today's ever-tightening standards
- Infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy that is generated by the vibration and rotation of atoms and molecules within all objects with temperatures above absolute zero (0°Kelvin; -273°C; or -459°F).Electromagnetic energy, which travels at the speed of light, is comprised of waves that can be measured both electrically and magnetically
- Comfort heating for industrial buildings and installations
- Freeze protection for equipment or components
- Drying or curing processes
- Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class I, Division 1 & 2, Group D hazardous locations
- Factory Mutual (FM) for use in Class I, Division 1, Group D hazardous locations. Temperature code T2C at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F)
