PCA/PCS Series Push Through Radiant Tube Heaters

When it comes to product reliability and fuel efficient operation, Space-Ray equipment has withstood the test of time. Space-Ray's new PCA/PCS push-through series tube heater with its patent pending Tube Integrity Safety System, TISS™, provides you real options to meet the needs of your specific application.

An energy efficient radiant heating system that saves fuel, reduces maintenance, and permits higher mounting
Calorized aluminized steel emitter tubes* for corrosion resistance and greater radiant output.
Heavy-duty cast iron burners for long life.
Can be used in a vented or indirect (unvented) mode. Available in either natural or propane gas models.
Unique diagnostic monitoring lights show when heater is operating and assists with fault diagnosis.
Tube lengths from 20' to 60' and BTU input ratings from 75,000 to 150,000 BTU/Hr.
Optional Cold Air Stopper™ stops cold or hot air from entering the poultry house when the heaters are not in operation and helps to reduce sweating problems. (Not available on the 150,000 BTU/Hr. model)

Powerful And Fuel Efficient Radiant Heat
Space-Ray Radiant Gas Tube Heaters operate using the same principle as the sun. Before heating the air, radiant warmth is delivered directly to the birds and litter area where it's needed most. This warmth at floor level helps to dry out the litter area keeping ammonia levels lower. It also creates a thermal reservoir in litter area, trapping and recycling the heat to save fuel.

Introducing TISS™ - Tube Integrity Safety Shut-Off System
Space-Ray's patent pending innovative safety feature for positive pressure radiant tube heaters is called the "Tube Integrity Safety System" (TISS™).

In the unlikely event of a tube failure, TISS™ has been designed to automatically shut off the heater. The revolutionary TISS™ uses a simple principle to place an electrically insulated aluminum wire in tension above the reflector. Low voltage is then continuously passed along the wire in line with the gas control circuit. If heat levels increase due to heat exchanger failure, the wire melts and the safety circuit is broken, breaking the 24 volt circuit and shutting down the heater. You may never know it is there, but it provides peace of mind.

Poultry Tube Heater Accessories
These accessories are included with every Space-Ray tube heater as standard equipment. Pictured above are S hooks, exhaust hood, flexible gas connector, manual shut-off valve and fresh air intake. Also included but not shown the wire hangars and end reflectors.
