The sWAVE POD Series is a high-performance radiant heating solution engineered specifically for high-demand industrial and commercial environments. As a leading authority in radiant technology, SRP has designed the sWAVE POD to provide maximum thermal output while maintaining a compact, industrial-grade footprint. Delivering up to 22.5 kW of radiant energy, the series is optimized for high-bay applications where conventional heating methods are inefficient or impractical.
Core Technology: Medium Wave Advantage
Utilizing Medium Wave infrared technology, the sWAVE POD provides deeper thermal penetration compared to standard short-wave "red-glow" alternatives. This allows heat to be absorbed more efficiently by both personnel and structural surfaces, providing superior comfort and consistent temperature maintenance without the harsh glare associated with lower-tier infrared systems.
Engineering & Performance Specifications
- Radiant Efficiency: Optimized reflectors ensure a 90% radiant efficiency rating, maximizing radiant output, optimizing energy consumption, and reducing operational costs.
- High-Capacity Output: With a peak output of 22.5 kW, the sWAVE POD allows for wider unit spacing, which significantly reduces the total fixture count, simplifies electrical infrastructure, and lowers overall installation labor costs.
- Modular Power Staging: To ensure precise energy management, the series features modular output staging in 7.5 kW increments, allowing the system to adapt to varying thermal loads.
System Integration & Controls
The sWAVE POD is designed for seamless integration into modern building ecosystems:
- BAS Integration: Built-in 24V control logic enables effortless integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) or standard thermostats.
- Control Configurations: Available in "C" models with integrated controls for standalone operation, or standard models for use with external control panels.
- Electrical Versatility: All models are 3-phase and available in 15.0 kW and 22.5 kW configurations, supporting both 480V and 600V requirements.
Industrial Build & Maintenance
- Robust Construction: The unit features a rigid, stackable housing designed for the toughest industrial environments. The design enables safe, one-person installation, reducing on-site deployment time.
- Service-Ready Design: To minimize operational downtime, the simplified housing allows for quick, tool-free access to heating elements for rapid replacement.
Primary Applications
The sWAVE POD is the engineering standard for environments with installation heights ranging from 14 ft to 30 ft, including:
- High-bay warehouses and distribution centers
- Large-scale manufacturing facilities
- Aviation hangars and heavy-duty vehicle service centers
- Loading bays and industrial commercial spaces
