eSchwank Titan — Powerful Electric Heat
Schwank's electric infrared line brings decades of infrared engineering to a climate-neutral, high-output heater for light-industrial and commercial spaces. Unlike commodity electric heaters using quartz or halogen elements, the Titan uses robust ultra-low-glow short-wave bulbs that resist glare while delivering high-intensity radiant heat — powerful enough to comfortably, economically heat even very tall buildings.
Designed for low maintenance: fewer moving parts, and heating elements that are pre-assembled, well-protected, and replaceable in minutes. The marine-grade aluminum housing is IP65-rated for indoor and outdoor use, and units can be controlled by a simple ON/OFF disconnect or grouped into zones via contactor panels with 24VAC thermostat, BMS signal, or Schwank.ONE.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Titan be used indoors and outdoors?
Yes. The IP65 marine-grade aluminum housing is rated for commercial indoor and outdoor use. It is not intended for indoor residential use.
What voltage and phase does it require?
The Titan is 3-phase only (208V, 480V or 600V depending on model), wired in Delta configuration phase-to-phase — no neutral. It must be installed by a certified electrician to local and national codes.
How high can I mount it?
6kW models: 10–17 ft. 12kW models: 12–20 ft. Mountable at 0°, 23° or 45°.
How do I control several heaters at once?
Group them into zones using Schwank contactor panels (sized by voltage and fuse rating — see the Panel Sizing Guide). Zones can run on a 24VAC thermostat, a building management (BMS) signal, or the Schwank.ONE controller.
What area does it cover?
6kW up to 20×18 ft; 12kW up to 25×24 ft. Coverage is approximate and varies with mounting height, wind, and ambient temperature.
Warranty and certification?
2-year limited warranty; cETLus (Intertek) listed; IP65 rated.
