What Are The Advantages Of The Gas Fired Infrared Heaters Ohio Manufacturers Make

By Pamela Brooks


The sun is the universe's most efficient heater. The sun creates combustible gases that warm the earth's surface. That way even during the coldest winter, you are still warmed by the heat radiating from the sun. The gas fired infrared heaters Ohio manufacturers make work in somewhat the same way. They use fuel to warm objects below them, such as floors, tools, machinery, and people. The warmed objects, in turn release heat into the atmosphere, which warms it.

This system is perfect for industrial manufacturers that operate in warehouses that are large, open, and high ceilinged. These warehouses have traditionally been heated with forced air. These heating systems are built into the warehouse ceilings and blow out hot air at the rate of a 747 engine. It usually does an adequate job, but is inefficient and costly. By contrast, infrared heat systems are 50% more efficient.

This type of heating can be high intensity or low intensity. The high intensity has been around for almost seventy years. It operates with an open flame and requires a high mounting. A reflector is used to direct the heat source.

Low intensity heat systems generate radiant heat just like the sun. They are hung from the ceiling by chains. You can get them vented or unvented. If necessary outside air can be used for combustion. The rate of heat is controlled by a thermostat. The design allows for different configurations depending on the space requirements.

Low intensity heaters have an enclosed flame. In order to produce heat a burner box triggers a mix of air and gas. A fan forces the air and gas mixture through tubing. The tube emits heat energy from the gas onto reflectors, which direct the warmth onto the floor. The objects in the direct line of the reflected heat warm the space to a comfortable level. This kind of heat starts at the ground level instead of the ceiling to create heat in the space.

If you're working with a forced heat system, every time you open a door the heat escapes. The system has to start over to heat the space. If you have infrared heat on the other hand, the heat from the floor acts as a reservoir that retains the extra heat and continues to heat the area until the loss of heat from the door opening is marginalized.

There are many benefits from this type of heating, not the least of which is the cost savings. This type of heater is up to fifty percent more cost effective than the forced air variety. They are cleaner and quieter and don't blow dust and debris around like the ones that rely on blowers. These heaters have zoned capabilities that can function as a unit or independently.

It is very important to take safety into consideration when using these heating systems. Objects that have lower temperature ratings have to kept at a safe distance from these heating units. Lighting, electrical and gas lines, and parked vehicles have to be protected from the system.
