Teletherm Heater

TELETHERM heaters are in fact artificial suns, as they are able to produce and transmit red “radiant” energy over large distances; thus ensuring comfortable warm working conditions even in the coldest winters, both indoors and outdoors.

Thermal energy is produced by converting to radiant heat waves the chemical energy contained in fuel oil by process of combustion. These waves are transmitted through the air (without being absorbed by it) and absorbed by people and objects over wide areas and long distances. The wave length of the infra red rays is spread over a broad spectrum which corresponds with the maximum absorption level of many common materials.

TELETHERM heaters can be used where traditional heating methods are both uneconomical and impractical, for example, large open work areas, warehouses, stations, sports stadiums, etc.

This is possible due to the transmission characteristics of air, which is normally a large heat energy absorber. The radiant waves simply pass through it virtually unaffected. Thus, maximum heat gets to the place requiring heat and is not dissipated into the roof structures.

Radiant heat can be produced in as little as 35 seconds (28 seconds in special circumstances).  Using common fuel oil, this is a quick and economical way to assure immediate heat in the working environment.

In the case of open-air heating this special technique enables a warm ambient temperature to be maintained so that normal activities can be continued.  This cuts out the working hours lost through cold weather each year.

Radiation from the TELETHERM, like the radiation from the sun, will pass through large zones of cold air without impairing the maximum heating efficiency of the heater over large areas, even in wind and rain.
