                        SECTION 1: CONCEPT   SECTION 1: CONCEPT The concept of CRV-Series is easy to understand.  However, it means discarding old ideas because CRV- Series is a different kind of heating system. CRV-Series is a gas-fired, vacuum-operated, low- intensity infrared heating system incorporating a pat- ented incremental burner system. Gas-Fired means it uses clean-burning Natural or  Propane gas. Vacuum-Operated means that the pump draws all  the products of combustion through the system and  expels them ou

                        CRV-SERIES DESIGN MANUAL 2.3 Fuel Savings and Comfort Space heating can be accomplished with less input  capacity when a radiant heating system is utilized,  rather than with a conventional convective heating  system. Why is this so? A conventional, convective heating system, such as a  unit heater or central furnace works by heating the air,  which then indirectly heats the area and  occupants. CRV-Series utilizes infrared energy to heat  objects, people and surfaces directly, not the air. The
