Radiant tube heating from Ambi-Rad is the ultimate energy efficient heating solution for high-roof commercial, industrial and military buildings, reports "EnergyVortex.com". Its clean, lean burner technology reduces fuel consumption without compromising warmth.
 Radiant tube heating from Ambi-Rad offers unprecedented heat performance and fuel efficiency. Fueled by natural gas, oil or LPG, it is effective in a wide range of applications where even heat coverage, rapid warm-up, quick heat recovery and flexibility of operation are required – sports halls, aircraft hangars, warehouses, automotive workshops, transport maintenance sheds and factories, in particular.
Typically, Ambi-Rad radiant heating deployed to replace an older, inefficient system will reduce overall running costs by 25-60%, although higher savings have been achieved. For example, in one military aircraft hangar application, energy costs were immediately reduced by 64% when a boiler and high temperature hot water system was replaced with natural gas-fired radiant tubes from Ambi-Rad. Radiant tube heating works by emitting infra red rays that warm only people and objects in their path. No energy is wasted in heating the vast volume of air in a large space building. Warmth is concentrated at low level, where it is most needed. Heat-up is rapid - warmth is felt by people in the building within minutes of switch-on on cold mornings - and no fuel is wasted bringing the air to a comfortable temperature. By contrast, some conventional convection systems may take up to an hour to reach comfort conditions.
When external doorways are opened – periodically or for long stretches of time – an Ambi-Rad radiant system continues to warm people working in the building. Once the doors are shut again, comfort temperatures are restored almost instantly.
Zoning is a major feature of Ambi-Rad radiant tube heating. Where a facility must be down-sized or activity confined to selected areas of the building, radiant heating can be configured to heat only the part required, as a key energy-saving measure. This is also useful where activity takes place in different parts of the building on a daily basis – such as in an aircraft maintenance hangar. The building may not always be fully utilised, so selected areas can be heated only when required.
Radiant tube heating is available in linear, U-tube, herringbone or continuous configurations. The selection will depend on the type of installation and requirements of the heating system. |
