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.

  

Industrial and Commercial Heating Solutions

Every business needs heating – whether to secure the welfare of your hard working employees, or to protect expensive equipment from damp and cold conditions. To ensure you have the correct heating solution to meet these needs, it is advised that you contact a professional team such as Dale Heating Services. We have a vast portfolio of experience in the industry, which has been fundamental in our development as a reputed supplier of commercial and industrial heating.

Sourcing the right heating system for your business premises is a very important decision, and one that is made significantly harder due to the numerous variables, which need to be accounted for. One way this decision could be made easier is by contacting a fully qualified gas safe engineer to gain a valuable insight into the systems available, and to ensure the safety of your installations

The main forms of industrial heating are Warm Air Heating and Radiant Heaters.

One of the great advantages of investing in a warm air heating system from Heaters Wholesale is the combination of high quality heating for the colder seasons with a reliable air conditioning system for the summer months. These warm air systems also known as HVAC, or Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning.

In an industrial building, such as an auto body shop where there is a need for sufficient ventilation, warm air can easily be lost and have a huge impact on the indoor temperature of your premises. To combat this, radiant heating could be the solution that suits you, as the unique method by which it warms the objects and people within the room mean that there is no heat loss – which in turn makes it a very efficient form of heating.

Radiant heating works by warming up the objects within a room rather than the air, and it is because of this that the heat is not excessively lost.

Dale Heating Services not only specialise in the installation of various types of heating equipment, we also maintain and repair your system.

Warm Air Heating questions answered

You know that feeling of dread?

 Getting out of your nice cosy bed in the morning, to a cold house.in the knowledge that shortly after, you will be arriving at work to that freezing factory, or wintry warehouse.

When you’re cold at work that is the only thing that you can think about, meaning it’s much harder to concentrate on your work.

You may be considering installing energy efficient industrial heating equipment but have so many questions that you don’t know where to begin.

Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions and answers, to assist you with your decision

Why is it so important that I get it right?

There are many factors to consider when attempting heating your warehouse such as;

  ü  Size – are you sure that you have the right system to heat the required space. If your heating is oversized you could be using more energy than you need to, or if the system is too small then only that specific area will be heated.

  ü  Space – if there is a small corner in your warehouse that you are not using then maybe you could think about installing a free standing cabinet warm air heater. As these have higher outputs, you may not need as many heaters installed, this will not only save you money on your installation but also on your maintenance, as you have less heaters and will require no access equipment. If space is an issue, then maybe you could consider suspended warm air heating equipment.

 

If these factors are not taken into consideration you could pay too much on your heating fuel costs.

 

What fuel do these heaters use?

 

        ü  Free standing warm air heaters are available in oil, gas or LPG

        ü  Suspended warm air heating is available in natural gas or LPG.

 

What if I want an oil heater but I don’t have the space for a free standing heater?

 

        ü  Although it is more popular to install these heaters on the floor it may be possible to suspend the oil fired heater to the wall.

 

How often do these units require a service?

 

        ü  It is advised that these units are serviced every 12 months. This is to assist the longevity of the heaters lifespan, and to detect any underlying faults that may be present. A summer service is usually recommended as these faults would be detected before the winter and could prevent a breakdown when you need them most.

 

What types of buildings can warm air heating be installed?

 

Warm air heating is quite versatile and can be used when considering

 

        ü  Warehouse Heating

        ü  Retail and showrooms

        ü  Auto body shops and repair centres

        ü  Factory heating

        ü  Sports facilities

        ü  Garden centres’ and greenhouses’ and many more

 

 

The answers should only be used as a guideline and a qualified technician that holds all of the relevant qualifications to work on commercial and industrial heating equipment must be consulted prior to any installation. This is to ensure the safety and design of your installation, as each application is different an individual site survey must be carried out, to create a comfortable and safe environment for you, your staff and your customers.

Dale Heating Services can provide a free site survey with highly qualified personnel that are trained to the highest standards and possess all the relevant qualifications to work on heating equipment in a commercial or industrial environment.

Don't freeze your staff this winter, freeze your fuel bills instead

Don't freeze your staff this winter, freeze your fuel bills instead

 

 It’s that time of year when we need our heating the most, the days are shorter and the temperature is dropping. After experiencing one of our best summers since 2006, the warmth will be severely missed.

 

With the nights closing in, and the temperatures subsiding, the morale of your staff may soon follow suit. If your heating equipment breaks down or is not operating as it should, this could create an unhappy and uncomfortable environment for your staff, which may decrease productivity.

 

Why not consider upgrading your existing heating equipment, which may reduce your annual fuel bill?

The difference between Warm Air Heating and Radiant Heaters

 

The problems that you always seem to face when considering which type of heating equipment you should use is, how do you know which equipment is best?

The simple answer is there is no better heater; it really is a question of what your individual requirements are as a business.

For example if you have a garage or a workshop, you may have to repeatedly open the shutters and or doors, and then Radiant Heaters could be the solution for you.

This is because as Radiant Heaters work like the sun, they do not heat the air they heat the objects, people, walls and floors in the room and those objects retain the heat and release it throughout the day. Maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout your working day.

Radiant Heaters are also a popular choice for Garden Centres and Greenhouses.

This is because amongst the many benefits, radiant heaters reduce the risk of plant disease as the condensation and moisture in the greenhouse evaporates significantly quicker reducing the damp environment that is required for plant disease to develop. 

As they are installed from the ceiling, the reduce obstruction and save valuable workspace.

Warm Air Heating is a popular choice when considering

• Factory Heating
• Warehouse Heating

• Retail Premises and Showroom Heating

This is because warm air heating units are not only useful in the winter, but they can also be used as air movement during the warm summer months, meaning less appliances required which could save you money on installation and maintenance.

Warm Air Heaters can be suspended units either to the wall or on the ceiling. They are also available in Free Standing Cabinet Heaters. These are ideal if you require industrial heating to one large workspace, as they are available in higher outputs and burner options this will reduce the need for multiple appliances.

The above are just guidelines, it is possible to install warm air heating to garden centres or radiant heaters when considering warehouse heating Before you choose your industrial heating equipment you should always seek advice from a fully qualified engineer or technician, as each heater must be designed to meet the individual needs of your business so that it can create a safe and comfortable environment for you your staff and you customers.

As the winter approaches and the cold weather arrives make sure you are making the right decision when choosing your industrial heating requirements.
