The Advantages of High-Intensity Plaque Infrared Heaters in Industrial and Commercial Settings

High-intensity infrared heaters are an efficient and cost-effective heating solution for industrial and commercial heating requirements. Many advantages such as: zone heating, durability and low maintenance are just some of them.

The Advantages of High-Intensity Plaque Infrared Heaters in Industrial and Commercial Settings

Plaque heaters work just like the sun: the heat radiation of the sun travels through the air without heating it and emits its thermal energy only when it contacts surfaces. This is the principle of the high-intensity plaque infrared heaters, which are among the most effective heating system for large buildings.

The ceramic tiles reach a maximum surface temperature of 950 °C and therefore emit a particularly high level of infrared heat. Highly effective reflectors direct the heat towards the area where employees are present.

In the search for efficient and effective heating solutions, high-performance infrared radiant heaters have become a popular, and proven, choice in industrial and commercial spaces. Installed on walls or ceilings, they are mainly used to heat high buildings, individual workstations or outdoor areas. These heaters offer many benefits, making them an attractive option for businesses looking to optimise their heating systems.

 

Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits of high-intensity infrared plaque heaters:

✅  Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is the most important advantage of plaque infrared heaters. Unlike conventional heating systems, which heat the air, infrared heaters heat objects and people directly within their reach. This direct heating method substantially reduces energy waste and ensures that the heat is felt instantly. Significant energy savings, which translates into lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint, can be achieved.

✅  Zone Heating

Another advantage of high-intensity plaque infrared heaters is their ability to provide targeted heating. Strategically placed heaters can heat specific areas or zones in the building, allowing the creation of customised heating solutions. This targeted approach is especially useful in large spaces where uniform heating may not be practical or necessary. Optimised comfort and efficiency can be achieved while minimising energy consumption by directing heat where it’s needed most.

✅  Easy installation

Installing plaque heaters is easy and space saving. Several key steps are needed to ensure safe and efficient operation:

  • Mounting location
  • Gas supply connection
  • Electrical connection
  • Ventilation
  • Commissioning

✅  Very short ramp up-heating time

High-intensity plaque infrared heaters can quickly reach operating temperature and start emitting heat within a few seconds. These heaters can be used whether it is a warehouse, manufacturing plant or large commercial space, where fast and efficient heating is essential to maintain productivity and comfort.

✅  Improved Air Quality

Traditional heating systems often rely on forced air circulation, which can distribute dust and allergens or air drafts. In contrast, high-intensity plaque heaters operate without air movement, resulting in improved indoor air quality. This is particularly beneficial in spaces where air quality is important, such as factories, warehouses and commercial buildings.

✅  Low Maintenance and Durability

High-intensity plaque infrared heaters are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. With no moving parts and no need for ductwork or filters, these heaters are less prone to breakdowns and require less frequent servicing. This translates into lower maintenance costs and less downtime for businesses, allowing them to focus on their core operations without worrying about heating system issues.

✅  Whisper-quiet operation

Radiant plaque heaters operate silently, which is beneficial in environments where noise reduction is important.

✅  Clean Combustion

Radiant plaque heaters have extremely low NOx and CO₂ emissions, making them environmentally friendly.

Conclusion

High-intensity plaque infrared heaters offer many advantages, making them a superior choice for industrial and commercial heating needs. Their energy efficiency, rapid heating, targeted heating capabilities, improved air quality, low maintenance and durability make them an attractive option for businesses looking to optimise their heating solutions. By choosing these advanced heaters, businesses can enjoy a more comfortable, efficient, and most importantly, a cost-effective heating solution.
