Subject: radiant tube heater


Installed a 100,000 btu reverberay and don't seem to be getting the heat I was expecting from it. It's mounted 18 ft off the floor in a 60x80 and we can barely feel the heat radiating from it. I was under the impression these things almost glowed with heat and was expecting to feel the heat radiating on my face and surrounding me. Am I wrong. The temp gun says about 640 degrees 1 foot from the hottest part of the tube. All the pressures are correct, we've had the gauge on it with it running, and increasing the pressures didn't help.

The guy that sold the heaters to me says to get the other one fired up and let it run for a couple hours to get the building heated up. But I thought just the one heater should be able to warm the shop today. It was 35 and sunny. I'm reluctant to install the other heater if this is all the better they work.
