Shadow Industrial Heating - Infrared Heating Solutions For Commercial Premises

When it comes to heating a large industrial space, such as a manufacturing hub or a large commercial warehouse, there are lots of factors to consider. In recent years, many specifiers have been urged and incentivised to reach towards or try to achieve Net Zero. Heating space is a big challenge, but with Heat Outdoors and Shadow Industrial innovations, we offer a quality solution. Embracing new technology can be intimidating, especially for experienced specifiers. In this article, we'll explore core differences and benefits, giving you the confidence to move towards the future.

So What's The Difference Then?

Conventional radiant heaters or convection heaters are heating the air, which is largely unused and can result in massive electricity waste. the principle we propose is this: Let's take a warehouse space:

So - we have here highlighted the areas in red that might require heat, even perhaps to a generous amount for those in the picking spaces or warehouse corridors. Now a traditional convection heating system would be heating the air, which of course is rather volumous and would circulate around this space. Not only would you have to pre-prepare to heat this sort of space with convection heating, but you would also waste massive amounts of energy heating air that nobody would enjoy the warmth of! Infrared heating proposes a simple solution. Heat a space, with line of sight, that is asked of it. The core principle is that switching to infrared heating not only ensures that an efficient heater is being used, but that only the space that is required is being heated. This can cause a serious drop in costs, with the potential of 40-90% energy cutbacks. This is massive for the specifier who's been asked to meet green targets, or people looking to optimise their outgoings in their financial strategy.

Okay, Great, But What Is Infrared Heating?

Infrared heating as provided by Heat Outdoors' Shadow industrial range is a type of heating that warms the objects within its line of sight. The instant warm-up time heats the people, such as yourself, as opposed to the air, much like the sun warms the side of the street that's in the sunlight and not the side in the shade. This is done quickly and with minimal energy waste. The incredible Shadow Industrial range can be used for small to large-scale spaces, and we can always provide project-based individual control and output solutions that can cater to a space from the smallest to the largest scales. They are low-glare, simple to install, and should get to operating nearly instantly to provide warmth for the given space. For quick reference:
