AURA

AURA infrared radiant heaters are offered in several electrical configurations. Models are available for 120V AC single phase, 208/240V AC single phase, and 240V AC single phase. The 120V models typically use a plug-in connection, while higher voltage models are hardwired. Power outputs range from 1,500 W to 6,000 W. This range allows selection based on the available electrical supply and the required heat output for the application. For example, the 1,500 W model operates on 120V AC with a plug-in connection, while the 6,000 W model requires a hardwired 240V AC single-phase supply. Buyers should verify their electrical infrastructure before selecting a model.

Most AURA infrared radiant heaters feature a 45-degree beam pattern. This specification defines the spread of radiant energy from the emitter. A 45-degree pattern provides a relatively focused beam, which is useful for spot heating of specific areas or workstations. The beam pattern affects the coverage area and intensity at a given distance. For area heating, multiple units may be required to cover a larger space. The 45-degree pattern is consistent across the models listed, including the 1,500 W, 2,250 W, 3,000 W, 4,500 W, and 6,000 W versions. This consistency simplifies layout planning when using multiple heaters.

AURA infrared heaters are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The aluminum housing provides durability and corrosion resistance for outdoor environments. The heaters are suspended or wall-mounted, which keeps them off the ground and reduces exposure to splashes or debris. However, they are not rated for use in hazardous locations or where flammable vapors are present. For outdoor installations, consider wind exposure and mounting height to ensure effective radiant heating. The carbon fiber emitter operates at high temperatures, so clearances from combustible materials must be maintained. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for outdoor applications.

The AURA CF30240B and CF30240SS are both 3,000 W, 208/240V AC single-phase infrared heaters with carbon fiber emitters and 45-degree beam patterns. The primary difference is the housing color: the CF30240B has a black aluminum housing, while the CF30240SS has a silver aluminum housing. Both models are hardwired and suitable for indoor/outdoor suspended wall mounting. The physical dimensions are similar, though the exact measurements may vary slightly between the two. The choice between them is typically based on aesthetic or visibility considerations in the installation environment. Performance specifications are otherwise equivalent.

Yes, AURA infrared radiant heaters are often used in high-ceiling warehouses and similar spaces. Because they heat objects and people directly rather than air, they are effective in areas where convection heating is inefficient due to large volumes or air stratification. The 45-degree beam pattern allows targeting of specific zones, such as workstations or loading areas. For high ceilings, mounting height and beam spread must be considered to ensure adequate coverage at floor level. Higher wattage models, such as the 4,500 W or 6,000 W units, are typically selected for these applications. Multiple heaters may be needed to cover the entire area.

AURA infrared heaters are available with either hardwired or plug-in connections. The 120V AC models, such as the 1,500 W unit, typically come with a plug-in connection. The higher voltage models (208/240V AC and 240V AC) are hardwired, requiring field wiring to a junction box or directly to the heater. Hardwired models must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The connection type is specified in the product data for each SKU. Buyers should confirm the available electrical supply and connection method before ordering.
