Commercial Radiant Heating: What Is It?

Monday, November 26th, 2018

sunshine-iconIf you are shopping for a residential HVAC system, then the term radiant heating has a specific meaning: heating systems that spread warmth through living spaces by raising the temperature of objects in those spaces so heat waves radiate from their surfaces. Boiler systems that use radiators and baseboard heaters or in-floor piping are common examples, and radiant systems can also be powered with electricity.

For commercial and industrial purposes, radiant heating is something different, although a similar principle is at work, which is the radiant part. We’ll explain more below.

How to Tell Your Commercial Boiler Needs Professional Repair

Monday, April 2nd, 2018

commercial-boiler-technicianDoes your commercial facility rely on a boiler in any way? Boilers remain popular for many commercial uses, such as providing comfort to a retail environment or to help with process. One reason for this popularity is the high energy efficiency of these systems: using heated water to send waves of heat into a space is more effective at delivering warmth rapidly than blowing around heated air from a furnace or rooftop unit. Boilers also don’t send dust and other particles around a space, and this is often essential for proper building operation—and it’s good for air quality in general as well.

Industrial facilities, however, are another story, and they often need a variety of heating systems to provide the right indoor climate control.

One of the most helpful of industrial heating systems is the unit heater, which can solve a number of the problems industrial spaces present.

The Benefits of Hydronic Heating for Industrial Facilities

Monday, March 5th, 2018

radiant-heating-tubesHydronic heating is any type of heating done through the circulation of heated liquid. It is sometimes called radiant heating, although in industrial use radiant heating can also refer to other types of heating systems that use hot surfaces. A hydronic system heats liquid and then pipes it to terminal points, where it raises the temperature of an object, such as floorboards, radiators, or baseboard heaters. The heat radiates off the object into the room, raising the temperature of any object the heat touches without raising the temperature of the air between.

Hydronic heating can be found in many types of buildings, and they are becoming popular for many industrial applications. If you are planning on a heating installation for your industrial facility, you may wish to consider using a hydronic system for a number of reasons:

You Need Industrial HVAC Specialists for All Jobs

Monday, January 22nd, 2018

industrial-vents-and-valvesWe hope we don’t have to remind you of the importance of relying on trained and professional specialists when it comes to getting work done in an industrial facility. If you own and operate an industrial facility, you already rely on educated and skilled professionals in all the various parts of your operation.

So when it comes to hiring HVAC professionals to deal with repairs to equipment like industrial chillers or make-up air units, or to arrange for the installation of a complete new ventilation system, it’s good business sense to look to industrial specialists.

The requirements of industrial HVAC and commercial HVAC are often substantially different. A company that only does commercial HVAC services may be focused on providing indoor comfort but not have expertise in the climate control necessary for process and to protect equipment. Industrial specialists understand the numerous factors that go into proper climate control and ventilation in industrial facilities.
