Short-wave infrared (radiant) heat is instant, versatile and massively energy efficient. Perfect for industrial, warehouse or workshop heating solutions, where conventional solutions are carbon based, uneconomical and bad for the planet.
Short-wave infrared heat ignores the air to directly heat people and objects. 40% - 90% energy savings are normal against gas based heating solutions.
Shadow industrial and warehouse heaters are exceptionally easy to install in almost any building. With fuss free control options available, all you need is a competent electrician.
Stephen Levy the founder of Shadow Heating explains they key factors to heating warehouses and other industrial premises. Watch the video and call us to talk though your specific requirements so that we can specify the best solution for your unique circumstances.
All Shadow heaters incorporate the latest Ultra Low Glare infrared lamp technology giving maximum energy to heat output, whilst emitting less than 3 lumens of visible light. Shadow produce a full range of industrial heaters from 3kW all the way up to 18kW in size. Heaters can be wall mounted or suspended and then used to create complete heat coverage of large spaces with the unique ability to heat zones or smaller areas within them. Controllability creates efficiency.
Shadow infrared heaters heat areas where people are working to a comfortable temperature resulting in less energy use than virtually all other industrial heating solutions. Just like the sun's rays, the minute they're on, you feel instantly warm.
Infrared industrial heaters offer a cost-efficient and carbon-efficient alternative to gas or warm air heating systems. Short-wave infrared heats people and objects instantly. It can target heat to specific areas of wide-open commercial and industrial spaces such as workbenches, packing desks, workstations and more. Heating unoccupied space is pure energy wastage.
Brilliant for buildings where openings to the outside are in regular use, such as delivery areas or aircraft hangars. Don't waste heat, when your doors are open, infrared heat will not get blown away.
Heat Outdoors range of large infrared industrial heaters offers powerful heating solutions. Suitable for areas in which a high ceiling mount is required. The diagram below offers a graphical depiction of the heater coverage you can expect from the industrial infrared heaters range, when ceiling mounted.
The infrared industrial range can also be wall mounted, for spaces in which the ceiling height is simply too high to achieve an adequate heat distribution, or heat is required closer to the working area. In particular the lower kilowatt infrared industrial heater units can be used above larger industrial production lines, or car industry work bays for instance.
Note: the coverage area is a guide only and calculated for effecting heating in the colder months. The areas given can be influenced by a number of additional factors. Heat is subjective and different people feel warm at different heat levels and people who are more sedentary and still, will need more heat than those that are more physically active at work.
Heat Outdoors range of infrared workshop heater packs are perfect for smaller commercial spaces, which still require a good level of industrial heat. The workshop range is perfect for locations where mounting heights are much closer to the workspace being used. In these situations a more comfortable level of controllable heat is preferable. The diagram below offers a graphical depiction of the heater coverage you can expect from the workshop heater range, when wall mounted.
While the infrared workshop heater range is suitable for ceiling mounting up to 3.5m high, the workshop range is ideally suited to wall mounted locations.
There are a number of factors which impact how much heat you might need. Firstly, and possibly most importantly, the footprint of the area you want to cover. Even the most powerful infrared heaters will struggle to provide sufficient heat if underspecified for the space in question.
At Shadow Industrial, we usually base our specifications on the 'rule of thumb' that 1kW of heat will adequately cover an area of approx. 4 - 5 square meters of floor space. Other external factors will affect this measurement, such as the level of airflow through the area, the mounting heights that can be achieved and also personal preferences as to how warm you actually want the area to be and feel. The heating level required will differ for instance for active workers who are already generating up plenty of kinetic warmth, and workers who are more sedentary, stationed at workstations or benches.
We are always here to help you make the right decision, with our knowledgeable specification team available by phone, video, email, live chat, and online forms. Send us in photographs, specification drawings, diagrams or measurements, and our team will be sure to provide a comprehensive heating plan for you.
Smaller Shadow industrial heaters up to 6kW run off a standard UK 240-volt single phase. Larger more powerful heaters from 9kW up to 18kW need to be installed on a UK 415-volt three-phase power circuit. The technical specs on each heater clearly display which circuit is required.
Our Warehouse infrared heater pack range is compatible with single phase installations only.
It's important to initially have an electrician assess the power circuit you have, and also the power still available on that circuit for your heating system to use. This is an important aspect which will support us in providing you with a workable specification.
