Infrared heaters for warehouses and production halls - or how not to overpay for heating?

District heating - i.e. convection heating of high-rise industrial or storage buildings - is inefficient and, above all, not cost-effective. In large and, in addition, relatively high buildings, so-called district heating is practically impossible, due to several factors. The first of these is the necessity to place heaters only in designated areas through process lines, or through shelving in warehouses. This would result in heating zones where there are no people. On the other hand, wherever there are people, the placement of radiators would be very complicated or impossible. With traditional heating, the air is heated first and the warm air, which is lighter, rises upwards to where people are.

Is this how it has to work?

Turns out not! All you need to do is familiarise yourself with such modern heating technology equipment as infrared heaters, and everything will become much easier!

Infrared heaters - simple principles of operation!

When encountering the term for the first time, everyone thinks that infrared heaters are huge appliances, with an expansive size and weight that are hazardous to health or can cause burns. Nothing could be further from the truth. Radiant heaters convert the heat energy generated in a tube by burning gas at high temperatures into electromagnetic waves. These waves, just like sunlight falling on an object, cause an immediate sensation of heat. The wave radiation is focused towards the floor by means of special screens, which direct the incidence of the waves towards the occupied area. The radiant heaters are installed at a distance of between one and several metres from the ceiling, so that the effects of gas combustion are discharged outside without any problems when using an air-flue system and, above all, so that the temperature perceived by people is a comfortable one.

Infrared heaters - where should they be used?

There are no legitimate cases where the use of infrared heaters, and when not. The main criterion here is, above all, the possibility of reducing heating costs and increasing comfort in the workplace, or the need for heating zones This type of heating is recommended for, among other things:

• production halls
• logistics centres
• workshops

Infrared heaters - are they safe for health?

Of course it is! Before they were put into mass production, the very first models underwent thorough testing and reviews. It was checked what effect this type of mechanism could have on human health. It turned out that infrared heaters are completely harmless to our health even if we are surrounded by them every day. You can concentrate on your professional duties without any worries. Radiant heaters are also safe because the operating device ensures that the effects of burning gas are constantly discharged to the outside. In addition, gas detectors placed in the right places immediately indicate any malfunction.

Infrared heaters in a modern form, they work together with control systems, making it easier to adapt the temperature to changing situations in any situation.
