A small goods warehouse required a heating solution that could maintain a comfortable working environment without excessive energy costs. With efficiency and reliability as key priorities, they turned to Shadow Industrial for a system that would deliver consistent warmth while keeping energy consumption under control.
Designing an optimal heating solution for the warehouse involved addressing key challenges such as maintaining consistent temperatures despite large doors allowing cold air in and ensuring energy efficiency through zoning. Shadow Industrial's infrared heaters were ideal for meeting these needs, offering the required precision and flexibility.
To create an effective heating system for the warehouse, several key factors had to be considered:
The warehouse required a flexible heating solution to avoid unnecessary energy use and high costs. Since not all aisles were occupied continuously, the business opted for a three-zone controller, allowing them to heat each aisle independently as needed.
This targeted approach improved working conditions while significantly enhancing energy efficiency. Additionally, the infrared heating system, which warms people and objects directly rather than heating the air, effectively reduced heat loss from frequently opened doors. Unlike traditional convection heating, it provided consistent warmth even in a dynamic warehouse environment.
To meet the specific heating needs of the facility, Shadow Industrial supplied a tailored infrared heating solution with the following components:
To address the warehouses needs, we proposed a comprehensive suite of infrared heating solutions:
The specific products and their specifications included:
Most companies today want to reduce or eliminate their net contribution to greenhouse gasses - but it can be hard to know where to begin.
What will have the most impact? One focus area for many organisations is their energy use and heating.
Gas-based systems are falling out of favour as they generate significant carbon emissions. Instead, many are turning to electric infrared heating as this offers the potential for zero emissions at the point of use if renewable energy is used to power them.
Infrared is a popular choice as it offers very high-efficiency ratings - up to 98% of energy is converted into heat. Additionally, heat isn't wasted as it can be focused on the areas that need it the most.
