How radiant heating works

Industrial radiant heating uses climate panels or ceilings that emit infrared rays. These rays heat objects and people directly without heating the surrounding air. The panels can be installed on ceilings or walls and operate silently and unobtrusively.

The main advantage of this system is that it distributes the heat evenly and avoids the energy losses associated with the circulation of warm air, which tends to rise towards the top of rooms.

This makes radiant heaters particularly suitable for large spaces with high ceilings, such as industrial sites or exhibition halls. They are also appreciated for their ability to create a comfortable environment while being energy efficient.

Benefits of radiant heating for industry

Radiant heating provides efficient heat distribution, even in large, open spaces, and offers rapid thermal comfort without the air movement encountered with traditional heating systems.

Industrial radiant heaters are valued for their energy efficiency and ability to deliver targeted heat where it’s needed. Here are the main benefits:

Energy Efficiency

Radiant heating directly warms people and objects without needing to heat the surrounding air, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.

Enhanced Thermal Comfort

This type of heating provides uniform heat that eliminates cold draughts, creating a more comfortable environment for occupants. The air temperature can be up to 3°C lower (heating) or higher (cooling) than the perceived temperature.

Lower heating costs

Thanks to its high efficiency, radiant heating can reduce heating costs compared with traditional heating systems. Energy savings of up to 40% are possible.

Flexible installation

The climate panels or ceilings used for radiant heating can be installed relatively unobtrusively and are adaptable to a variety of space configurations. Modular equipment, can be combined in length and width as required, lengths 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 m, width 320 mm.

Quiet and discreet

The system operates silently, which is a considerable advantage in environments where noise is a concern.

Rapid thermal response

Radiant heating responds quickly, providing heat where it’s needed without significant delay. These advantages make radiant heating the ideal solution for large industrial spaces and other areas where energy efficiency and thermal comfort are essential.

Technology and innovation at work

The technology behind industrial radiant heating is based on a natural principle similar to the effect of the sun on our environment.

Like the sun in winter, which directly heats the surfaces it touches despite the cold ambient air, industrial radiant heating uses panels or ceilings that emit infrared rays.

These heating systems are not electric but hydraulic, using water to modulate the temperature of the space.

Infrared rays pass through the air without heating it directly; heat is generated when these rays reach and are absorbed by surfaces and objects, including people, in the room.

This process makes very efficient use of energy, as it minimises heat loss due to air convection, a common inefficiency with traditional heating systems. Radiation produces an immediate sensation of warmth.

In addition, radiant heating systems can often be combined with other technologies, such as integrated LED lighting solutions, to maximise space efficiency and aesthetics, while providing comfortable, evenly distributed heat. This creates a more pleasant and productive environment, with reduced running costs and minimal maintenance compared to traditional heating and cooling systems.

The ease of installation of these systems (thanks to the “Plug & Play” concept) means they can be set up quickly and easily on site, as well as their durability and impact resistance, making them particularly suitable for demanding environments such as sports halls.

Context of use of radiant heating

Industrial

In factories, warehouses and workshops where large open spaces or high ceilings can make other forms of heating less efficient.

Commercial

In shops, showrooms and large commercial spaces, radiant heating can provide pleasant warmth for customers and employees without the unpleasant draughts often associated with convection heating systems.

Agricultural

In greenhouses and agricultural facilities, radiant heating helps maintain stable temperatures for plant growth or animal comfort without disturbing the ambient air with fans or other mechanical devices.

Healthcare sector

In hospitals and clinics, where precise temperature control is crucial, radiant heating can provide a comfortable and healthy environment for patients without excessive air circulation, reducing the risk of spreading germs.

Industrial radiant heating is versatile and used in many contexts because of its energy efficiency and ability to provide direct thermal comfort.

These systems are valued for their ability to target heat where it is needed, reducing energy costs and increasing overall comfort in a variety of environments.

Industrial radiant heating system certifications

Radiant heating products such as climate panels and ceilings are designed to meet various standards and regulations that ensure their quality, safety and energy efficiency.

These certifications are crucial to ensure that the products are suitable for safe and efficient use in a variety of environments, including commercial and industrial spaces.

These products comply with current European and international standards (e.g. EN 14037-2 for heating) for heating and ventilation, covering aspects such as energy performance, electrical safety and indoor air quality.

This often includes certifications for energy efficiency, safety tests, and specific standards relating to the use of sustainable materials and technologies.
