Industrial infrared heaters

Industrial infrared heaters are designed for general, local or additional heating of public or industrial premises. Their use is highly recommended in rooms with high ceilings and significant heat losses. Such heaters do not require special operating costs, moreover, they do not require a lot of installation time. As a result, once installed, an infrared heater will easily last 25 years or more.

If you need to create the necessary temperature conditions or simply a comfortable temperature for the staff of a small enterprise, then industrial infrared heaters are what you need.

Based on the total area of ​​the room and its purpose, the power and number of infrared heaters are selected. So infrared heaters are installed in warehouses, in commercial premises with high ceilings, in manufacturing plants or outdoors, for example, to melt snow or to protect ramps from icing.

Depending on the working power, industrial infrared heaters are not only single-phase, but also three-phase. Control is carried out by wired or wireless remote controls. Sometimes it is possible to control several devices simultaneously from one remote control, which is extremely convenient in large rooms. Industrial infrared heaters are mainly installed on ceilings, sometimes on walls.

Infrared heaters are also suitable for heating moving objects. Such solutions are optimal for conveyor ovens, drying chambers, baking ovens, for sterilization, printing houses, etc. In general, radiant heating is a fairly common form of heating in industry.

Structurally, a typical infrared heater is a steel body painted with heat-resistant paint, combined with radiating aluminum panels with fins. Such a reflector reflects the heat from a heating element, which can be straight or curved in a plane, and directs it in the desired direction. The surface temperature of the heating element itself can reach 900 ° C, which allows the device to emit IR waves in the mid-IR spectrum in the range 2.82-247 microns.

The radiated thermal energy is completely absorbed by the surfaces to which the radiation is directed and is not absorbed by the air. The air is warmed by surfaces heated by infrared radiation, such as floors and walls. So, for example, the floor and people receive heat and there are no losses in the range of the device. The air temperature in the room as a result of such heating is equalized in height.Effective and high-quality heat is obtained without the need to place open high-temperature sources near the working area of ​​people and equipment.

For the purposes of local heating, infrared heaters are placed so that a person or an object that needs heat is in the area of ​​operation of several devices at the same time. Here it is important to take into account the strict rule that the distance from a person's head to the radiating panel should not be less than 2 meters. For the purpose of complete heating, infrared devices are distributed evenly throughout the room.

Summarizing, it is worth noting the advantages that industrial infrared heaters have in contrast to other solutions:

First, it is an economical way to generate heat. Not only is the area of ​​the room used here to the fullest, as the infrared radiation is directed exactly where it is needed, but also with an efficiency of up to 90%, energy consumption is reduced by up to 40%, compared to conventional heaters with the same convectors. The heating power can be adjusted according to the needs of the remote control or with the help of a thermostat. In addition, high-quality industrial devices have mandatory protection against overheating and short circuit.

Second, infrared heaters can be used where conditions are far from usual: high humidity, acidic environment, explosive zone that does not allow close, very hot objects, Heating elements etc.

Third, there is a rapid warming of the room without burning oxygen, without raising dust, without harming the health of personnel.That is, the environmental friendliness of infrared heaters is at the highest level.

Fourth, high ceilings are not an obstacle and the air is heated evenly. Once the infrared heater is installed on the ceiling, the user does not need to service it regularly. Special attention should be paid to the possibility of using industrial infrared heaters outdoors.
