Heating large spaces - Why choose infrared heaters?

Efficient heating of large spaces, such as storage halls, workshops or marquee halls, is a challenge that requires modern and economical solutions. In this context, infrared heaters, especially oil models, stand out as innovative devices that combine high efficiency with cost savings. This article explains why you should bet on infrared heating and how to choose the right system for your needs.

How does infrared heating work?

Infrared heaters use radiant heat to heat surfaces, objects and people instead of air. This makes the heat felt faster and the energy is used more efficiently. Infrared oil heaters operate on the principle of fuel combustion, which generates thermal radiation in the infrared range. This makes these devices particularly useful in large and poorly insulated spaces.

Advantages of infrared heating:

• Efficiency: Heat radiation hits objects directly, minimising energy losses in the air.
• Clean and healthy: the lack of air movement reduces the rising of dust, allergens and other pollutants in the heated space.
• Speed of operation: Infrared systems are able to instantly heat selected working areas giving a feeling of pleasant warmth similar to that felt when the sun's rays fall on us.
• Versatile: They work well both indoors and in covered outdoor spaces such as marquee halls or loading areas.

Why choose infrared oil heaters?

Economy of use

Oil-fired heaters have a low fuel consumption of approximately 0.9-1.3 litres of oil per hour, depending on the unit's output. At the average price of heating oil or diesel, the running cost is considerably less than for other heating systems, such as electric convection heaters, for example.

Versatility of applications

Infrared devices are ideal for:

• Workshop heating: Provide warmth in the working areas without heating the whole room. They are ideal when, for example, the entrance gates to the workshop are frequently opened - as mentioned earlier, the devices do not heat the air which, in such situations, quickly exchanges with the outside air, causing the temperature to drop.
• Warehouse heaters: They make it possible to maintain comfortable conditions in large, poorly insulated spaces. The long period of maintenance-free operation is also a plus here. The large fuel tank and remote control via an app ensure that the unit will run for a long time without occupying our attention.
• Tent hall heaters: Excellent for temporary structures where thermal insulation is limited.

Ease of installation and mobility

The units are equipped with transport wheels, making them easy to move and use in different locations. In addition, the heaters do not require complex installation - all that is required is a minimum of ventilation.

Ecology

Modern heaters can run on biofuels such as biodiesel, which significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. This makes them a friendly choice for environmentally conscious users. In addition, the triple afterburning system not only ensures maximum heat output, but also reduces harmful emissions to a minimum.

How do I choose the right infrared heater?

Selection criteria:

1. Size of space:
   • For workshops, units from 13 or 16 kW are recommended.
   • Warehouses and marquee halls require 20 kW or more.
2. Room insulation:
   • In poorly insulated spaces, it is worth opting for models with higher power and efficiency.
3. Fuel type:
   • Diesel and biodiesel are the most economical options for industrial heaters

Practical tips for use

• Regular maintenance: taking care of the condition of the heater ensures a long service life and trouble-free operation.
• Optimum positioning: The units should be located in the areas with the highest heat demand in order to use their power efficiently.
• Ventilation: With oil-fired heaters, it is crucial to ensure that there is adequate airflow to vent the fumes. The units do not need additional exhaust systems, natural air circulation is sufficient. In small enclosed spaces, it is recommended to use an optional chimney to discharge the combustion products to the outside.

Infrared oil heaters are the ideal solution for heating large spaces. They combine efficiency, low running costs and an eco-friendly approach, making them an excellent choice for owners of workshops, warehouses or marquee halls.

If you are wondering, how to heat a workshop, how to heat a warehouse or how to heat a marquee hallIf you're looking for a heater that will keep you warm in the winter, rely on modern infrared heaters. They will save you time, money and ensure comfortable working conditions even in the harshest winter conditions.
