Benefits Of Gas Fired Infrared Heaters Ohio Manufacturers Sell Over Forced Air

By Pamela Brooks


There is no more natural heater in the universe than the sun. It creates a combustion of gases that warm the surface of the earth. Even when the temperature dips, the radiant heat will still warm you. The gas fired infrared heaters Ohio manufacturing companies produce work in a similar way. They use fuel to produce heat and warm whatever is beneath it, like machinery, tools, floors, and people. The targets warm up and release more heat which warms the air.

This kind of heating is perfect for companies that operate in big, open indoor spaces, like industrial warehouses. In the past these businesses heated their warehouse facilities with forced air heaters built into ceilings and blowing hot air with all the force of a airplane engine. The biggest problem with this solution is that it's expensive and ineffective. Forced air is only half as efficient as infrared heat.

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 heating mimics the sun. It generates radiant heat. Most of these kinds of heaters are suspended with chains from ceilings. They are controlled by a thermostat.

The low intensity heating systems have enclosed flames. To create heat, a burner box ignites a gas and air mixture. A fan forces this mixture through tubing. The tubes release energy that reflectors direct onto the floor. This type of system begins at the floor level instead of the ceiling level to create warmth.

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 a lot of advantages to using this kind of system. The money you save is one of the most important. These heating systems are as much as 50% more cost effective than forced air systems. Since they do not operate with blowers, the systems are quieter and cleaner. Dust and debris will not be blowing around the warehouse. They can also operate independently or in a zoned capacity.

There are safety considerations to be taken into account when using this heater. You have to keep certain objects at a safe distance from the heaters when they have lower temperature ratings. It is important to shield certain items like lighting, gas and electrical lines, and parked cars.
