A free blowing warm air system is one of the most cost effective & efficient means of heating industrial & commercial buildings. It is much less expensive than a wet system with boilers and unit heaters or radiators & has a much faster speed of response. Tupello Property Services are specialist in warm air systems using gas or oil fired, suspended or floor standing heaters, which meet most heating requirements.
What is warm air heating?
Warm air heating is a type of heating system which uses warm air rather than hot water radiators to heat a building.
Warm air heating systems use air as the main source of heating and distribution, they are usually fuelled by gas, oil or LPG and can be supplemented with heating controls.Warm air systems are relatively simple, reliable and cost effective to install and maintain.
What are the benefits of warm air heating in an industrial environment?
Cost Efficiency: Warm air heating systems are cost-efficient in terms of energy consumption and operational costs.
Climate Control: As air is heated in a warm air heating system, the air-covered area is distributed evenly and creates a comfortable climate.
Space Saving: Warm air heating systems are relatively compact so they can fit into tight spaces without taking up too much space.
Easy Maintenance: Warm air heating systems are designed to be easy to maintain and they typically require minimal maintenance as the air-source heat exchanger does not need to be replaced if serviced regularly.
Flexibility: Warm air heating systems can be easily adapted and added to existing rooms or buildings, making them ideal for businesses that want to upgrade their existing heating systems without making major changes to the layout.
Warm Air heating vs Radiant heating in a warehouse
Warm air heating is suitable for large, open areas such as warehouses but radiant heating is more suitable for smaller areas.
Warm air heating systems are more energy efficient and economical as it takes less energy to heat large areas.
Radiant heating is more expensive compared to warm air heating but it is more efficient when it comes to heating smaller areas and offers a more comfortable atmosphere as the air does not move around.
What is the best form of heating for a warehouse or industrial building?
The best form of heating for a warehouse or industrial building depends on the size of the building, what type of environment the building needs to be heated and the budget of the company. Some popular options include Gas, Electric, Oil and Warm Air Heating. Gas and electric systems are the most common forms of heating, as they are generally the most cost-effective. Oil can also be used, but it is a more expensive option.
Warm air heating can be used to heat large warehouses and industrial buildings, and it is more energy efficient than other forms of heating.
When would you use radiant overhead heaters?
Radiant overhead heaters are commonly used in warehouses, factories, and other industrial settings where wide area comfort heating is needed.
They are especially beneficial in high bay or open-floor areas due to their ability to provide targeted concentrated heat.
Radiant heaters can also help reduce energy costs by providing heat directly to people and objects, instead of heating the air.
This type of heater can be suspended from the ceiling, making them ideal for providing heat to high shelf-stored goods and other hard-to-reach places.
Why would you choose Warm Air heating in a factory?
Warm air heating is usually a great choice for factories because it can provide a more cost-effective solution, as it doesn’t require the installation of additional ducts. It is also highly efficient when it comes to heating larger spaces, so that the heat can be dispersed evenly without having to rely on fans or pumps to move the air.
Warm air heating systems are reliable and do not require much maintenance, so they are ideal for industrial settings.
Would you use destratification fans with warm air heaters?
Yes, destratification fans can be used with warm air heaters.
By circulating the air in the room, destratification fans can help warm air heaters to operate more efficiently by ensuring an even distribution of heat throughout the space and helping to reduce energy costs.
This is especially beneficial for large industrial spaces and warehouses, as destratification fans can help to mitigate the effects of thermal stratification, which can result in uneven temperatures in different parts of the building.
How would I stop the warm air escaping from open doors in the warehouse?
If you are looking to prevent warm air from escaping open doors in a warehouse, one solution is to install air curtains.
Air curtains work by creating a barrier of air that prevents outside air from entering while also keeping inside air from escaping. This is especially useful for warehouses, as it will help maintain an efficient and comfortable temperature while keeping the warmth inside the warehouse.
Additionally, air curtains can help reduce energy costs and improve indoor air quality, as they help reduce the amount of dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants entering the space.
