Energy saving accessories ideal for warm air heating equipment

What is stratification? and how does it affect your energy bills?

Stratification is the process of warm air rising and cool air descending, this creates a gradient temperature throughout your building with the heat rising to the ceiling and the cool air lowering to the work area.

This is one of the key explanations for heat loss in your industrial premises, as a large amount of heat is lost through the roof. It also means that you are heating an area that is of no use, as normally the heat is only required 6ft above the ground level.

What can I do to reduce the heat loss?

De-stratification - Thermal de-stratification is the equalisation of the air temperature throughout the building, thereby taking the heat that would normally escape through the ceiling and returning to ground level. This can easily be achieved with the installation of a de-stratification fan.
These fans are quite popular when you have a warm air heating system installed.

The key benefits of these fans are:

• Improves heating system efficiency, by keeping valuable warm air at ground level, reducing heat loss through the roof.
• Ease of installation and operation
• Ease of use provided by automatic or manual speed controls.
• Flexibility provided by a wide range of units to suit most industrial/ commercial premises.
• Could extend the operation life of your heating equipment thereby contributing directly to global environment protection, reducing your carbon footprint.

Dale Heating can provide two forms of de-stratification fans these are 

ESF (energy saving fans)

 

These three bladed circulating fans are suspended from the ceiling. They are usually installed in conjunction with a speed control, which is used to control the fan speed to provide optimum effect and comfort. They are suitable for most commercial and industrial buildings. It keeps the warmth at working level by moving the warm air from the ceiling back down to floor level.

 

HVE (High Velocity Evacuator)

 

HVE fans are a thermostatically controlled re-circulation fan that are commonly installed in conjunction with an ON/OFF control that utilises the fans built in thermostat to operate the fan when heat is available and are popular in high bay areas.
