Anyone who works in a warehouse will know how cold it can be during winter. A warehouse heater is often used to heat certain parts of a warehouse where people are working. Let's take a look at what warehouse heaters are and how they can benefit you.
What is a Warehouse Heater?
Regarding both the structure of the building and the design of the storage facilities inside, there are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome in order to provide effective and efficient heating for a warehouse. If done incorrectly, the room may not be adequately heated, which will be uncomfortable for anyone using the building. Additionally, it could result in energy waste, raising operating expenses and carbon footprint. Radiant heating and warm air heating are the two main methods for heating warehouses. For warehouses, especially those with high racking, using warm air heating—of which there are various types—is typically the most effective choice.
Heating Solutions
Radiant Heating - Radiant heating is often provided by suspended radiant tubes or, less frequently, by wall or ceiling-mounted radiant plaque heaters. Infrared radiation, which is emitted by heated surfaces in all types of radiant heating, heats people and other objects, not the air. These can be effective in areas with bay doors that are constantly opening and closing letting in the cold air. Radiant heating is a cost-effective warehouse heating system.
Warm Air Industrial Heating - A warm air heater warms the air in the area, warming the individuals who are using it. This is accomplished by forcing air across a heat exchanger to raise its temperature. A fan then moves the heated air throughout the room. In order to maintain constant temperatures, the chosen heating device must make sure that the warmed air is spread evenly throughout the space. Warm air heaters have a variety of options for heat sources. These include an internal gas or oil burner that powers the heater (direct-fired), hot water that is piped to the heater from a boiler or other central heating plant (indirect-fired), or an electric element.
Benefits of Industrial Heating & Factory Heating
It's crucial to manage the temperature carefully in order to keep a pleasant workspace. Employees who are too warm may experience discomfort and possibly become lethargic, while those who are too cold will probably see a decline in productivity and possibly even experience health issues. Installing a warm air or radiant heating system is one approach to guarantee that the temperature is maintained at a comfortable level. Warm air heating systems circulate hot air across the workspace and are simply controllable to keep the temperature constant. A cost-effective solution for businesses, warm air heating systems are often more energy-efficient than other kinds of heating systems.
Factory heaters reduce moisture buildup and condensation. These systems enhance interior air quality and prevent the development of mould and mildew by producing a warm, dry environment.
Heating systems aid in maintaining a warm and constant temperature for inventory. This keeps the quality and freshness intact. It also helps save waste and spoilage.
Using less gas or electricity can help lower energy bills. Heaters for warehouse are designed to be very efficient and cost-effective. Energy conservation benefits the environment as well as your bank balance. See how much you can save on your energy expenditures by making a few adjustments.
Factory heaters can assist circulate air and offer ventilation to lessen odours. These systems can aid in the reduction or elimination of offensive odours by controlling the temperature and humidity levels in an area.
Electric Heating Systems
Much like your home, you want to work in a warm and comfortable area. As mentioned above, industrial electric heating usually comes in the form of radiant and warm air heating. These can be either gas or electric heating which cater to different budget constraints and give you more choices in heating solutions. For example, electric heating tends to be more expensive than gas heating but a lot of gas heating products are more portable because they can use a gas canister instead of plugging into the mains.
Industrial Heating Products
- Industrial Heaters & Factory Heaters
Suspended Unit Heaters - It is possible to hang warm air heaters from the factory roof or place them on an interior flat roof. The benefits listed below are available from Abercorn Heating's suspended unit heaters:
- ECA qualifying measures
- Ducted applications for centrifugal fans
- Horizontal flue to eliminate roof penetration
- Increase the amount of production space
- Abercorn uses the best heaters available
Floor-Standing Cabinets - These heaters are placed on the ground and have higher outputs than comparable hanging unit heaters. This is the quickest and most effective technique to heat an industrial space. The advantages of floor-standing cabinet heating from Abercorn Heating include:
- Applications using ducted or free-flowing air
- ECA qualifying measures
- Waterproof options available
- Option for horizontal stainless flues
- Heaters of the highest calibre
Ambi-Rad Radiant heaters can be put on the wall or on the roof, saving important floor space. The heaters are well out of the way of any potential risks or damage-causing circumstances thanks to their high-level mounting. The heaters are also directed, ensuring that heat is only emitted to the precise locations where it is required. As a result, no fuel is spent heating parts of the building that are not occupied and "cold spots" brought on by improper heater placement are avoided. Ambi-Rad radiant heaters, which run on natural gas or LPG, provide constant interior comfort temperatures while reducing annual heating energy expenditures by between 35% and 60%, especially in installations where radiant heating replaces an outdated high-temperature hot water and boiler system. High energy-efficient radiant heating can provide savings of at least 30% over other forms of heating systems, even in brand-new structures.
