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 square foot, 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.Every premium heater manufactured by Thermon Inc undergoes stringent safety and performance testing in accordance with all applicable Safety Certification standards including CSA and FM. Our ongoing commitment to the safety and well being of our customers includes free product safety instruction sessions by our field sales professionals covering everything from an overview of basic infrared technology to detailed explanations on how our unique Cata-Dyne™ catalytic technology works.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.Infrared (literally meaning below or beyond the red) is located between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum and shares many of the same properties of visible light, except it has a longer wavelength. When infrared waves encounter a solid object they can be reflected (bounced off), diffracted (scattered), refracted (bent), transmitted (pass through), or absorbed by the object. Several of these effects can take place at the same time.Features + BenefitsApplications: The Cata-Dyne™ MKII Series heaters are used in many different applications that involve spot or space heating where hazardous materials may be present. These include Comfort heating for industrial buildings and installations, Freeze protection for equipment or components, Drying or curing processes. Certifications: The Cata-Dyne™ MKII Series explosion-proof catalytic heater is approved for the following: 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.
