Gas Catalytic High Efficiency Panels
Gas catalytic IR High Efficiency (HE) panels form Heraeus Noblelight ensure more efficient use of the supplied gas. They heat up faster and have more responsive control. Gas catalytic HE panels are ideal for applications requiring greater heat.
Vulcan Catalytic® HE – Gas Catalytic High Efficiency Panels
FM, CSA, CE & ATEX Certified Gas Catalytic IR Panels
The gas catalytic infrared heating panels from Heraeus Noblelight are now ATEX certified.
The ATEX directive lays down the rules for the use of products and equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Hazardous areas:
- II - Above ground applications / not in mines
- 2 - Certified and applicable in Zone 1 & 2
- G - Gases / Vapors
Our standard panels and HE panels are available with FM, CSA, CE and ATEX certification!

Refurbishment of Gas Catalytic IR Panels
By their inherent design and technology, Gas Catalytic IR heaters are very reliable and will operate for over 40,000 hours before they will need any maintenance or refurbishment. There are no moving parts to fail. However, if Gas Catalytic ovens are used in the powder coating industry, there is a chance of powder migrating from the powder booth, into the oven. This can cause two issues:
- Powder landing on the surface of heater will oxidize and form a white ash. Over time this ash builds up and reduces the amount of Oxygen reaching the catalyst, thus reducing the heat output.
- Airborne powder particles land on the reflective surfaces of the lower sections of the oven, reducing the reflectivity and thus the efficiency of the cure process.
Is There a Solution for Refurbishment?
Fortunately, yes. Heraeus Noblelight offers a full heater refurbishment program and a service to bring the reflective surfaces of the oven back to full efficiency. We can carry out refurbishment of Gas Catalytic Heaters manufactured by other companies and our superior catalyst impregnation process will make them more efficient than when they were new. The refurbishment process involves rebuilding the heater with a new catalytic pad and screen, new pre heat element and thermo switch, followed by testing.
