Tpi 04884602 Portable Electric Infrared Heater 14972 Btu/h

Product Description

The TPI 04884602 is a heavy-duty portable electric infrared heater built for commercial and industrial job sites where permanently installed heating is not practical. Rated at 4300 watts and 14972 BTU/h, it operates on 480 volts in single- or three-phase wiring configurations. The flat-panel emitter delivers medium-wavelength radiant heat at 78.5% radiant efficiency, producing a 60-degree symmetric heat pattern suited for areas up to 150 square feet in semi-protected environments down to -35 degrees F. The unit is mounted on a steel handcart with 6-inch wheels for easy transport between work areas. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance techs are the typical installers for this class of equipment.

This heater is designed for a wide variety of indoor and protected outdoor commercial and industrial applications, including construction sites, warehouses, loading docks, and temporary workspaces. It connects to existing disconnect switches or lighting centers, making it deployable without permanent electrical infrastructure. The unit emits no fumes or odors, making it viable for occupied spaces. In applications where combustible materials or personnel will be located near the heater, a ground-fault sensing switch must be added to the electrical circuit as a required safety measure.

Key Features

• Flat-panel emitter with 78.5% radiant efficiency at 480 volts and medium-wavelength output
• 60-degree symmetric heat pattern covers up to 150 square feet in semi-protected areas rated to -35 degrees F
• Single- or three-phase electric wiring compatibility at 480 volts
• Gold-tone anodized aluminum housing provides corrosion resistance and strong reflectivity
• Factory-installed heavy-duty wire guard protects the emitter element
• Rugged emitter element rated for high-vibration environments with 25000-hour element life expectancy
• Steel handcart with 6-inch wheels for portable job-site deployment

Compatibility

Designed as a portable standalone unit for commercial and industrial electric infrared heating applications. Connects to standard 480-volt disconnect switches or lighting centers in single- or three-phase configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation and electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Shut off and lock out the circuit before making any electrical connections. Where combustible materials or personnel will be in proximity to the heater, a ground-fault sensing switch must be incorporated into the electrical circuit. Do not operate the unit in fully enclosed, unventilated spaces without confirming the installation meets local safety requirements.
