Warmth: one of the essential needs of life not only at home but at work, day afterday. The choice of an optimal system is therefore of the utmost importance bygiving workplace comfort to employees and thus improving efficiencies for theemployer.
However, there are many other considerations that are important to the buildingowner:Which system has the best efficiency and lowest initial investment?Which systems ensure climate control in critical areas where products are stored?Which system guarantees the comfort to those utilizing the space?Which system is flexible as space utilization changes and buildings are extended?Which system is the most reliable over many years of usage?All the above questions are essential in determining which is the ultimate systemand evidence proves that a warm air heating system fulfils all these criteria andmore.
Warm air heating: effective andcomfortable!

The application of warm airheaters are expansive due to thefact that the manufacturers offer awide range of different systemswith various heat outputs to suit themost demandingrequirements.
Warm air heaters for eachenvironment
Standing Cabinet HeatersAvailable for oil and gas. This heater is a perfect solution for an existing oil-firedinstallation. A cabinet heater distributes its warm air directly in the workingzone, suitable for installation in rooms without many (high) obsta-cles. In addition a cabinet heater can easily be installed in anadjacent room utilizing ducting distributing of the warm air, withthe added option of mixing fresh air to maximize comfort.
Warm air tube heatersA system that is available for oil and gas, and is installedunderneath the roof. A double tube is placed between a
burner unit with fan and the combustion air extraction fan. The inner tubefunctions as heatexchanger and releases the heat to the air which is pushedthrough the outer tube. In the outer tube openings are made through whichthe warm air is distributed in the building. A very direct method of heatingwith comfortable heat distribution. Also with this system options includingcombinations of fresh air and exhaustion of return air are possible.

Suspended Unit HeatersThe most common form of warm air heaters. Popular because of their effec-tiveness and simplicity. The specific advantage is that no valuable floorspace is used. Suspended heaters are also available with mixing units forreturn air, fresh air ventilation, thus creating a comfortable and controllableroom climate. Ducting can be used for the distribution of the warm air.
Rooftop HeatersA series of appliances with the most options andhigh heat outputs. An ideal solution for largebuildings, especially when the layout of and/orthe activities in the building do not allow the application of cabinet or unitheaters. Due to the high heat output of these units, in some cases one unitycan be used to heat the whole building, ducting takes care of the heat distribu-tion. These units can also offer a combination of heating with ventilation andeven cooling. In situations where 100% fresh air is required, a make-up-air unitoffers the most economic solution (100% efficiency!).

1. High system-efficiencyThe heat exchange takes place from air to air. No heatloss occurs because the heat is not transported by differentmeans, such as water (no distribution losses)
2. Energy efficientThe heater is only in operation when heat is required;this can be controlled on a heater per heater basis.
3. ModularIn case a factory is extended extra warm air heaterscan easily be installed.
4. Comfortable heatingHeat is generated right on the spot where it is need-ed. The air heater circulates warm air, which distrib-utes the heat evenly throughout the room. In this waya room can be heated very quickly at the desired tem-perature and regulated at this temperature way bymeans of applying a two-stage burner.
5. ReliableWarm air heaters make no use of water so there is norisk of freezing. The control systems are easy to useand simple to work with.
6. Wide programThe present manufacturers offer a wide program ofwarm air heaters (oil fired as well as gas fired) so thatfor each heating requirement a suitable solution canbe found. In addition, warm air heaters can combineheating, ventilation and air conditioning in one appli-ance! Airheaters can be used in combination withother forms of heating (e.g. radiation).
7. Fast return on investmentLow capital costs: no need to purchase additional dis-tribution and heat source equipment. Simple andquick to install.
Low running costs: heater efficiency = system efficiencyThe supplied fuel is transformed into heat right on thespot. The system can react quickly to influences fromoutside such as sun radiation or open doors. No distri-bution energy losses occur because there are no boiler-house, transportpumps and warmthtransportpipes.
Low maintenance costs: the system is not susceptibleto failure, parts are easy to exchange. A once-a-yearservice is sufficient.
