SECTION 1: CONCEPT

The concept of CRV-Series is easy to understand.

However, it means discarding old ideas because CRV-

Series is a different kind of heating system.

CRV-Series is a gas-fired, vacuum-operated, low- intensity infrared heating system incorporating a pat- ented incremental burner system.

Gas-Firedmeans it uses clean-burning Natural or

Propane gas.

Vacuum-Operatedmeans that the pump draws all the products of combustion through the system and expels them outdoors.

Low-Intensitymeans the radiant surfaces of the

tubes do not glow red; instead they operate at a lower temperature (less than 900° F or 482.2° C) and radiate heat at lower intensity per square foot of radiating sur- face. Area coverage is provided by long runs of 4" (10 cm) O.D. tubing which hang from the ceiling or roof supports. Reflectors direct the radiant heat downward to occupied areas.

Radiant refers to the heat radiated by the CRV-Series system. Because this heat is in the form of infrared rays, it does not directly heat the air. Instead, the rays heat objects such as floors, people, walls, cars, machines, tools, etc. The warm objects, in turn, heat the air through convection.

Incremental Burner System means that several burners can operate in-series and fire into the same run of steel tube that carries the combustion gases from upstream burners. Each of these burners in a radiant branch may have different firing rates; also, the space between burners may vary. This allows the designer to match heat gain to heat loss for each area of the building. Firing burners in-series provides higher thermal and radiant efficiency.

In a properly designed low-intensity radiant system, the occupants should be barely aware of the radiant heat when the system is firing. They will feel little or no change when the thermostat is satisfied and the sys- tem is not firing. This combines with warm floors, warm walls and draft-free operation to improve the mean radiant temperature of the space. This is the key to the exceptional comfort and fuel efficiency provided by the CRV-Series system.

Roberts Gorden is renowned for its innovative heating solutions, particularly the CRV series of infrared radiant heaters, which include models CRV-B-2, CRV-B-4, CRV-B-6, and CRV-B-8. These heaters are designed to provide effective and efficient heating, making them ideal for various industrial, commercial, and agricultural applications.

One of the standout features of the Roberts Gorden CRV series is its advanced infrared heating technology. Unlike conventional heating systems that heat the air, infrared heaters warm objects and people directly, allowing for a more energy-efficient and comfortable environment. This makes the CRV series particularly effective in large spaces, such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and greenhouses.

The CRV-B models are engineered for versatility and can be mounted in various configurations, including horizontal and vertical placements, providing installation flexibility. Each model is available in different sizes and heating outputs, ensuring that users can select a unit tailored to their specific heating requirements. The CRV-B-2, for instance, is ideal for smaller spaces, while the CRV-B-8 offers higher power for larger areas.

Moreover, these heaters come equipped with advanced control systems that allow for precise temperature regulation. The units can be integrated with building management systems, enabling users to monitor and adjust settings remotely. This feature not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy savings, as the heaters can be programmed to operate only during necessary hours.

Structural durability is another significant characteristic of the CRV series. Constructed with high-quality materials, the heaters are designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while maintaining optimal performance over time. The reflective surfaces enhance heat distribution, ensuring that warmth is evenly distributed throughout the space.

Safety is paramount with Roberts Gorden’s CRV heaters. They are designed with built-in safety mechanisms, including overheat protection and automatic shut-off features to prevent accidents.

Overall, the Roberts Gorden CRV-B-2, CRV-B-4, CRV-B-6, and CRV-B-8 models exemplify cutting-edge infrared heating technology, delivering effective, efficient, and reliable heating solutions tailored to diverse applications. With a combination of flexibility, advanced control capabilities, and safety features, these heaters are an excellent choice for anyone in need of powerful heating solutions.
