The LTU130 U-Tube heaters, rated at up to 130,000 btu/hour each, are said to incorporate features not found on most competitive units, including a self-contained draft inducer, which pulls the products of combustion through the combustion chamber for increased radiant efficiency and safety.
The burner uses a staged combustion approach, which allows the highly luminous, low-turbulence flame to operate at the peak radiant efficiency.
Among features highlighted are the heater's pull-through system and self-contained draft inducer for increased radiant efficiency and safety; the rugged one-piece cast iron burner system and spark ignition system with 100% gas shut-off safety control; the large diameter, heat treated calorized radiant emitter tube system; and numerous other features such as monitoring lights for on-line diagnosis and simple, easy maintenance.
