The New Standard in High-Capacity Electric Infrared Heaters
Industrial and commercial facilities in North America don’t just need heat; they need reliable, high-performance heat that keeps pace with daily operations.
Traditional heating systems often require too many units to cover the space of a standard industrial facility. Many also lack integrated building controls and can turn routine maintenance into a disruption that slows or stops operations. As a result, operating costs are higher, temperature control is inconsistent, and unnecessary interruptions to productivity are constant.
Introducing the sWAVE POD Series, a high-capacity medium-wave electric infrared heater engineered to deliver more output, smarter control, and faster serviceability in one streamlined solution. By reducing the number of units required to cover large spaces while delivering consistent radiant comfort, the sWAVE POD pushes the boundaries of infrared heating.
Industry-Leading High-Capacity Medium-Wave Output
Built for demanding industrial and commercial environments, the sWAVE POD is engineered to deliver industry-leading radiant output of up to 22.5 kW. This superior capacity allows for wider spacing between units and significantly reduced fixture counts.
Unlike standard heaters, our high-efficiency medium-wave output and optimized reflectors convert 90% of consumed energy directly into radiant heat. This provides deep thermal penetration to warm floors, objects, and people, without the harsh, excessive visible light glare of a short-wave heater.
Integrated On-Board Controls & BAS Connectivity
At the core of the sWAVE POD is an advanced, integrated control system designed for seamless Building Automation System (BAS) connectivity.
Utilizing built-in 24V control logic, the heater delivers modular output staging in 7.5 kW increments. This flexibility allows the system to match the exact heat load of the space, ensuring precise temperature management and maximized energy savings. By utilizing the on-board controls, facilities can completely bypass the need for external control panels, saving valuable wall space and reducing installation complexity.
Rapid-Access Maintenance for Maximum Uptime
Beyond performance and advanced controls, the sWAVE POD is designed for long-term ownership. The simplified, rugged housing provides quick access to the heating elements, enabling your maintenance teams to perform service safely and efficiently. This drastically lowers downtime and removes the need for complex disassembly or additional equipment.
Ideal Applications for the sWAVE POD Series
Engineered with a rugged, industrial-grade build and a compact, installation-friendly form factor, this heater is designed for long-term reliability in tough environments. It is the ideal high-capacity heating solution for:
- Large-Scale Manufacturing Plants
- Warehouses and Distribution Centers
- Aviation Hangars
- Heavy-Duty Vehicle Service Centers
- Loading Bays and Docks
- High-Ceiling Commercial Facilities

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between short-wave and medium-wave electric infrared heaters?
Short-wave heaters often produce an intense “red-glow” that can cause uncomfortable visible light glare in a workplace. The sWAVE POD utilizes medium-wave technology, converting 90% of its energy directly into radiant heat. This provides deeper thermal penetration and superior comfort with significantly reduced visible light glare.
Can the sWAVE POD connect to my Building Automation System (BAS)?
Yes. Models with integrated controls feature built-in 24V control logic that integrates seamlessly with standard industrial thermostats and Building Automation Systems (BAS), allowing for modular staging and energy management.
Does the sWAVE POD require a complex external control panel?
No. The “C” models of the sWAVE POD Series feature integrated on-board controls, eliminating the need to install and wire a separate, external control box on your facility’s walls.
