Gas Fired Powrmatic PCV Continuous Radiant Systems

An ETL approved continuous radiant tube heating system from Powrmatic and SRP.

The Powrmatic SRP, PCV or PCV+ is a low intensity infrared continuous multi-burner space heating system, high efficiency condensing or mid efficiency non-condensing vacuum controlled, featuring positioned tuned in-line burners to guarantee the optimum efficiency in the industry, designed and manufactured in accordance with BS EN 17175:2019 for multi-burner systems.

The continuous radiant tube systems (PCV and PCV+) have a Seasonal Space Heating Energy Efficiency (SSHEE) of; >90% (PCV 90.1% and PCV+ 92.1%) and are listed on the Carbon Trust, Energy Technology List (ETL).

The burners are position-tuned to provide maximum radiant output from each section of radiant branch, and are designed to operate in specific in-line positions in the radiant branch to ensure equal firing rates for each burner in the branch. Except for the first burner, subsequent burners in a leg shall have firing rates within +/- 2% of each other. The burner incorporates a patented metering device to patent number; 5,842,854 and a unique Air Flow Plate for its rating and position along the radiant branch which regulates the air/fuel mixture flow at the burner as if the burner were sensing exactly the same vacuum no matter the position of the burner in the branch. The resulting feature maintains a more even heat output throughout the entire radiant branch. Radiant branches can contain up to four burners in-line on a single branch and capable of modulating to 60% of normal firing rates.

Burner assemblies are CE approved to EN 17175:2019 for use in commercial and industrial applications and ERP compliant. Burners are designed for a negative pressure burner system operating under the stoichiometric principle, with exhaust gases and other products of combustion routed through to a fan, to outside. The burners operate at a minimum gas inlet pressure of 17.5 mbar (natural gas) or 28 mbar (propane – for PCV+ Burners only) and draw no more than 0.1 Amp at 230 V a.c., 50 Hz. The burner head and mounting body are heavy-duty cast-iron and the burner controls allow for service and diagnostic control checks with the burner operating.

End vent flow rates are kept to a minimum, according to the manufacturer’s design criteria, as necessary to maximize radiant output from the system.

Reflectors of 23-gauge mill finished aluminium have a minimum 10-sided reflector design reflecting virtually 100% of the infrared energy out and away from the emitter tubes. The reflector design is “Deep Dish” with emitter tubes fully recessed within reflector.
