Radiant Heating Systems

A radiant heating system is ideal for large, high open spaces that require rapid heat-up time with minimum roof heat loss.

Atmostherm Ltd install radiant heating units for heating large, open spaces across Manchester, the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.

Radiant heating can also be used to spot heat individual areas within a factory, such as workbenches or packing areas, and each unit can be individually zoned.

Radiant heating systems normally reduce draughts and air movement within a building and can therefore reduce air pollution problems. Due to the sun radiation principle of this type of heating system it gives a more natural environment to the occupants.

Due to the high efficiency of radiant heating systems it is possible to save 70% on fuel costs compared to existing boiler based systems. Radiant heating systems are very simple to install and maintain and they do not require any floor space.

We also offer service, maintenance & repair for all types of commercial & industrial heating systems.

Radiant heating units can be specified to operate on gas, oil and LPG giving greater flexibility. Radiant tube heating systems can be supplied with energy efficient heating control using black bulb thermostats which will accurately control the time and temperature.

Atmostherm are able to offer a wide range of energy efficient radiant heating solutions, which can help meet the challenge of maintaining effective temperature control in a small or large warehouse. New radiant heaters can be specified to operate on gas, oil and LPG giving greater installation flexibility.

How Radiant Heating Systems Work
Radiant heating systems warm objects and people directly, rather than heating the air first. Infrared tube heaters mounted at height emit radiant energy that travels through the space and warms floors, equipment and occupants on contact. Because the air itself isn’t the primary heat carrier, radiant heating systems cope well with high ceilings and frequent door openings, conditions where traditional convection heating struggles to maintain temperature.

Where Radiant Heating Systems Are Used
Radiant heating systems suit large, open-plan spaces with high heat loss, including warehouses, factories, distribution centres, garden centres and sports halls. Because individual units can be zoned, you can heat only the areas in active use; a workbench, a loading bay, a packing area, rather than conditioning an entire building, which is where much of the fuel saving comes from.

Radiant Heating vs Traditional Heating
Unlike forced-air or radiator-based systems, radiant heating doesn’t rely on circulating warm air, so heat loss through draughts and open doors has far less impact on comfort. This also means less dust and airborne particulate movement, which can matter in facilities handling food, textiles or sensitive stock.

Fuel Options and Flexibility
Radiant tube systems can be specified to run on gas, oil or LPG, so the right fuel source can be matched to what’s already available on site – useful where there’s no mains gas connection, such as some rural or industrial locations.
