Car wash heaters

[Pete3]

Any recommended brands or type of heater for single bay hi pressure rollover car wash?

tube type infrared gas fired heater stainless steel construction, Radiant Systems out of NC makes a decent unit, just make sure you have needed clearance. Combustion air is piped from outdoors. Chemicals will eat anything else in 1 to 2 years.

We use direct fired 100% outside air unit on the truck washes we service. You also get the added benefit of summer ventilation to reduce mold in the wash.

Cambridge makes a real nice modulating direct fired unit.
Real popular in the chicagoland area

You may want to consider in in-floor radiant heat. I’ve installed hydronic systems in several car washes that work fantastic. I would also suggest that you check out Schwank Infrared, they manufacture an excellent high and low intensity infrared heaters…

I service a Lochnivar Boiler for radiant ice melt. Covers the bays and about 8 foot on either side of entrance/exit. These are all open bay washes.
