The Most Innovative Concept in Heating Has Made Another Giant Leap Forward

  

Performance Efficiency

  • The compact QUADRATHERM® Heater delivers a robust 80,000 BTUs of QuadRadiant® heat in a broad, quadrangular heat pattern.
  • Uses fuel more efficiently by converting more of the thermal capacity of the gas to infrared heat and transferring more of that heat to the floor.
  • Large, ribbed emitter surface area radiates more infrared heat than other heater styles.
  • Unique shape and reflective surfaces enhance transfer of infrared heat to the floor.
  • Spacious combustion chamber and highly effective burner enhance heater efficiency.
  • Pressurized burner results in even heat distribution through all burner ports.
  • Burner efficiency is further optimized using additional combustion air through the bottom of the heater.
  • Adjustable height helps optimize floor coverage.
  • QuadRadiant® heat requires less run time to heat a typical house.
  • Saves fuel by permitting zone control – heat only the areas of the house where heat is needed.

Ease of Operation

  • Reliable direct spark ignition or 500-BTU pilot.
  • Thermostatic, zone or individual sensor control.
  • Proven, reliable component parts.
  • Burner and igniter are protected from debris.

Delivered Assembled

  • Heaters are delivered assembled and ready to hang.
  • Units include eight-foot (2.4-meter) power cords and gas hoses for flexible heater placement.
  • 5-psi operation at the heater for high-pressure models reduces installation costs for piping and is retrofit friendly. (Low-pressure models require larger piping.)
  • 120-volt zone control model does not require a transformer. (24-volt requires a transformer but also permits battery back-up, except for direct spark model.)
  • Slotted tabs at the corners of the heater permit secure four-point suspension for extra stability.

Easy Access for Maintenance

  • Burner is easy to access by removing one screw.
  • Three-piece bottom eases access for cleaning.
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum construction. Designed for compressed air cleaning.
  • Heaters are winchable for house clean-out.

Advantages vs. Tube Heat

  • More even heat pattern.
  • More efficient conversion of fuel to heat.
  • Rectangular heat profile matches the shape of a poultry house.
  • Flexible for various house widths – no need for various models to get good, even heat.
  • Winchable for easy access for service.
  • Quicker up to temperature.
  • No problematic air intakes or ducting.
  • Unites are easy to move.
  • Low-pressure, snap-action model runs without electricity.

Advantages vs. Brooders

  • Requires fewer units – perhaps as few as one QuadRadiant® Unit to replace two infrared brooders or four convection brooders, depending on house configuration.
  • More even heat pattern.
  • More efficient conversion of fuel to heat.
  • Rectangular heat profile matches the shape of a poultry house.
  • Quicker up to temperature.

QuadRadiant® Heat Solves Typical Heating System Problems

  • Rectangular, house-shaped heat patterns from QuadRadiant® Heaters are even and match the rectangular shape of a poultry house.
  • A single QuadRadiant® Model provides broad, even heat for most house widths.
  • With the QuadRadiant® Heater, more even heat patterns result in a larger comfort zone for birds and save fuel (hot spots waste fuel.)
  • QuadRadiant® Heaters are winchable for easy access for service and maintenance, and they are designed for simplified maintenance.
  • Installing QuadRadiant® Heaters requires no problematic air intakes, ducting or pressurized combustion.
