Keeping a warehouse warm during the colder months can be a challenge. Large open spaces, high ceilings, frequent door openings and constant movement of staff and goods can make traditional heating systems expensive and inefficient.
For businesses looking for a more targeted approach to warehouse heating, infrared heating offers an alternative. Veltron infrared heaters can provide direct, comfortable heat where it is needed, helping businesses create warmer working environments without necessarily having to heat an entire warehouse volume.
Why Is Wharehouse Heating So Difficult To Get Right?
High Ceilings
With conventional warm-air heating, a significant amount of energy can be used heating the air throughout the entire building, rather than the people directly needing it.
Large Doors
Large openings can affect the heat retention however, Veltron heaters work well with a good air flow.
Workstations
With strategically positioned infrared heaters, businesses can focus heating on areas where employees are working rather than relying solely on maintaining the temperature of the entire building.
Safety
Veltron heaters do not emit any fumes or smoke meaning they can be used inside your warehouse or workshop.
Targeted Heat Where You Need It
One of the key advantages of infrared heating is the ability to target occupied areas.
For example, a warehouse may have:
• Packing stations
• Picking areas
• Desks or workstations
• Production zones
• Loading bays
• Maintenance areas
• Staff areas
Rather than treating the entire warehouse as one large heating zone, infrared heating can be used to provide warmth around specific areas.
This approach can be particularly useful where only certain parts of a warehouse are occupied at any given time.
Designing The Right Warehouse Heating System
Every warehouse is different, which is why heating design matters.
It is important to consider factors such as:
Warehouse size: The overall floor area and building volume will influence the heating requirement. Veltron has a range of seven different sized heaters.
Ceiling height: Higher ceilings can affect how conventional heating systems distribute warmth and should be considered when positioning infrared equipment.
Occupancy: Understanding where employees spend their time can help determine where targeted heating is most valuable.
Door openings: Loading bays and frequently opened doors can significantly affect the heating environment.
Insulation: The building envelope has a major impact on heat retention.
Operating hours: Heating requirements can vary depending on shifts, working patterns and seasonal conditions. Veltron heaters have the benefit of integrated wifi so you can control the heating from your mobile phone remotely.
Running Costs
Warehouses are not like typical commercial buildings. They often have large open areas and high ceilings, meaning there is a significant volume of air to heat. Veltron heaters are economical to run and the range provides a choice of outputs to suit different applications:
Model Heat Output Daily Average Fuel Consumption*
Veltron 90 10.4kW 1.9L
Veltron 120 14kW 2.3L
Veltron 150 17.4kW 2.56L
Veltron 210 24.4kW 3.6L
Veltron 250F 29kW 4.04L
Veltron 350F 40.7kW 6.8L
Veltron 500F 58kW 9.3L
*Daily average fuel consumption can vary depending on operating conditions, building characteristics and usage
