This installation focused on heating a loading bay where maintaining consistent temperatures was difficult due to frequent door openings.
Traditional heating systems, which rely on warming the air, proved ineffective as heat would escape whenever the large bay doors were opened.
To address this, Shadow Industrial's short-wave infrared heaters were installed, providing direct warmth without wasting energy on heating the air.
The heaters were wall-mounted for effective heat distribution while preserving the functionality of the bay doors.
The 3kW unit was positioned to warm the packing and picking benches, while the 6kW units were positioned to heat the main loading area. Careful placement ensured the heaters didn't interfere with vehicle movement.
The customers chose commando sockets for hands-on control, allowing them to alternate heaters as needed, providing flexibility within their budget to manage energy consumption and maintain comfort.
To meet the specific requirements of the space, we implemented a tailored heating solution using a combination of advanced infrared heaters and control systems. The key components of the installation included:
To address the loading bay's 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.
