The Chromalox ChromaStar™ infra-red comfort heaters are designed to provide a rugged source of heat for use in areas where dependence on air movement is impractical. The heaters are versatile, designed to provide warmth directly where it is needed for primary or spot heating applications. Each unit is constructed for long life and requires minimal maintenance. There are no moving parts or motors to wear out, no air filters or lubrication required.
All Chromalox ChromaStar™ radiant heaters
feature the exclusive “Arctic End” Patent
Pending heating element terminal construction.
This feature lowers the terminal box
temperatures resulting in extended element
and wiring life.
Extruded aluminum housings are rigid to provide
added protection to the heating elements
located at the focal point of a built-in mirrored
aluminum reflector(s).
The heater(s) consist of hairpin bent .430”
diameter alloy sheath tubular element(s)
constructed of high quality resistance wire
embedded in carefully selected MgO refractory
insulation. The element feature “Arctic
end” terminal construction for longer life and
cooler terminal enclosure temperatures. The
element(s) also feature terminal construction
using a waged-in silicone bushings that
produce unequalled resistance to moisture
absorption. The heating element(s) connect
to a gasketed, moisture resistance terminal
enclosure with liquid-tight bulkhead threaded
fittings. An extension reflector constructed of
0.050” mirrored aluminum extends over the
assembly to provide a more uniform heating
pattern.
All portable heaters are supplied fully assembled
to a rugged, chrome-nickel plated
tubular steel cart and handle (1.5 and 2.0 kW
heater has a fixed pedestal). The cart features
large wheels for easy portability. All portable
heaters include safety grills to protect personnel
from contacting hot elements.
Field wiring is accomplished through a 3/4”
conduit opening in terminal enclosure. The
1.5 kW u nit comes complete with a factory
installed 6 foot cord and 2 prong grounding
type plug. Other models can be field wired using
accessory cable and plug kits shown.
The Chromalox ChromaStar™ radiant heater
is shipped fully assembled and can be hung
from thee ceiling with 2 chains or rigid angle
brackets attached to the heater brackets located
on the back of the heater.
Field wiring is accomplished through the
liquid tight terminal enclosure. No secondary
splice box required.
Protective screens, disconnect switches and
portable carts are available for these heaters
as shown.
