Industrial Heating Design Solutions

Infrared heating is now commonly used as a form of heating in factories. Here are some advantages of using electric infrared heaters in large spaces:

• Energy Efficiency: Factory Infrared heaters convert almost all of the input energy into heat, making them highly energy-efficient. They directly emit radiant heat that warms objects and people in their path, rather than heating the entire air volume. This targeted heating approach reduces heat loss through air circulation and minimises wasted energy.
• Quick Heating Response: Infrared heaters provide instant heat as soon as they are turned on. They do not rely on warm-up time or the circulation of heated air to provide warmth. This rapid response time is particularly beneficial in factories where quick heating is required for processes, worker comfort, or maintaining specific temperature requirements.
• Zoning and Flexibility: Infrared heating allows for effective zoning within a factory space. You can selectively heat specific areas or zones without wasting energy on unoccupied or unused spaces. This flexibility enables customization of the heating system based on the layout and requirements of the factory.
• Direct and Targeted Heating: Unlike conventional warm air heating systems that heat the large volume of surrounding space, infrared heaters emit radiant heat that directly warms objects and individuals at floor level within the factory. This targeted heating ensures that people and objects in the factory receive warmth efficiently, regardless of air movement or drafts.
• Improved Comfort and Productivity: Infrared heating provides a more comfortable working environment in factories. It warms objects and people directly, creating a pleasant sensation similar to the warmth of sunlight. This can enhance worker comfort and productivity, especially in spaces with high ceilings or open areas where conventional heating methods may be less effective due to the fact that warm air rises.
• Space Savings: Infrared heaters are often compact and can be mounted on walls or ceilings, which helps save valuable floor space in a factory. They can be strategically positioned to deliver heat where it is needed most without obstructing workflow or storage areas.
• Reduced Maintenance: Infrared heating systems typically have fewer moving parts compared to traditional heating systems, reducing the chances of mechanical failures and the need for regular maintenance. This can result in cost savings and less downtime for maintenance activities in a factory setting.

It's important to note that the suitability of infrared heating for a specific factory depends on factors such as the size of the space, insulation levels, required temperature control, and specific heating needs.
