Catalytic heaters are the heat source for almost all Catco products including Heated Enclosure Packages and Instrument Gas Heaters. Or they can be used as a standalone unit for space heating applications ranging in size from small instrumentation cabinets to large compressor buildings.
Catco catalytic heaters bring fuel and oxygen together in the presence of a heated catalyst. This causes a chemical reaction that produces infrared heat but no flame, and the catalyst is not consumed by the reaction. Once it’s operational, a catalytic heater can operate indefinitely if it has a clean source of fuel and sufficient air.
The operating characteristics of Catco catalytic heaters have made them a safe and effective solution in a variety of industrial applications for decades. They are particularly well suited for use in hazardous areas and remote locations. Catco catalytic heaters can be configured with certification by FM or CSA for use in Class I, Division 1 & 2, Group D areas.
The table below includes selected specifications for Catco’s catalytic heaters. Please note that not all voltages are available in all heater configurations. Please consult the catalytic heater data sheet or contact us for full specifications and additional product information.
