FEATURES
End Vent, Module/Burner
At the start of each radiant branch an EVM is connected to the rear of the first combustion chamber
Burner Control Housing
Consists of a chassis style with detachable pivoting lid
Burner Head Assembly
A lightweight aluminum construction, with a combined stainless steel and ceramic burner head insert. The slim aerodynamic shape reduces pressure drop across the burner head and promotes greater volume of flame at the bottom of the tube where maximum release of heat is desirable. (Patent applied for.)
Control Panel
A range of control panels specifically designed for ARC radiant heating systems is available.
Vacuum Fans
A range of fans are available for different system ratings.
Reflectors
The radiant tube sections of the system are fitted with reflectors made of stainless steel, aluminum or Aludip to direct infrared rays downwards. The reflectors are a unique design profile to maximize the reflected radiant heat, minimize convective loss and minimize rigidity.
System Tube
The tube is black mild steel, aluminized steel or schedule 40 pipe engineered according to specification. The tube fittings are connected together using special stainless steel wrap around couplings.

APPLICATIONS
The ARC Series is a system designed specially for the building it is required to heat. The following criteria form the
basis of particular system design:
- Heat loss of the building for the required thermal environment.
- Local climate conditions.
- Type of use of the building by the occupant.
- Specific architectural features relating to the structure.
Ambi-Rad always strives to become part of the 'design' team, working closely in conjunction with the engineer or end user to determine the specific design parameters for the ARC scheme layout. This contact between the company's
engineers and the system designer or client will give the most effective ARC system.
The result is a heating system tailored to the needs of the building and the way that the premises are managed. The system can also be easily extended should requirements dictate.
The basic principle of the ARC system is that it is designed to provide uniform heat coverage over the entire floor area. Alternatively discrete areas within the building can be heated. The system can also cater for localized areas within an overall layout to be zoned providing different degrees of comfort level.
The ARC system has a rapid response to operating temperature and burns the fuel at the point of use. This has
significant advantages compared to large heating plants which suffer distribution losses and slow response time.
