Discover the advantages of radiant heating in logistics centers

With summer officially behind us, we are already looking ahead to the cold and wet winter months ahead.

In order to face them in the best way in our workplace, we must have a heating system that increases our well-being in general and improves thermal comfort in particular.

Thus, achieving the ideal temperature, both for users and to keep the equipment inside the buildings in good condition, is not a simple task, and it is even more complicated if we talk about air conditioning during the coldest months facilities such as logistics and storage centers, due to the characteristics of the building itself: high ceilings with large spaces.

For this purpose, Magnovent recommends the use of radiant heating through our high intensity infrared radiators. But first, before discovering the advantages of radiant heating, we will explain what it is and how it works.

Radiant heating is an air conditioning system that transmits heat directly to people, objects or surfaces instead of heating the ambient air as other air conditioning systems do. In this way, a uniform heat and greater comfort is achieved, making this type of heating the ideal solution for large spaces and high ceilings.

Heat is transmitted by radiation through specific radiators such as infrared radiant heating or through hot water pipes installed under the floor, in walls or ceilings.

• Infrared heating: Infrared emits heat waves that heat surrounding objects and surfaces to maintain a constant temperature without heating the ambient air.
• Underfloor heating: by means of pipes circulating with hot water (between 30 and 50 degrees), they heat the floor and in turn radiate heat in an ascending and homogeneous way.
• Radiant panels: these panels are installed on ceilings or walls using electricity or hot water and distribute heat throughout the space.

This heating system is a great solution from our catalog. Therefore from Magnovent, we detail the different advantages of industrial radiant heating when using a KMI radiator for large logistics and warehousing centers:

• Decentralized system: it can be switched on in sections, making it possible to choose the zones in which the heating is to be used, thus avoiding the use of unnecessary heating.
• Efficient heat management: for both people and equipment.
• Radiant heating is energy efficient and sustainable: it distributes heat precisely without energy loss, achieving savings of up to 60%.
• Prevents corrosion in humid environments.
• They adapt to your needs.
• Easy installation and maintenance.

It should be noted that, in order to avoid possible heat loss, it can be complemented with our HVLS fans. These will not only help to clean the air, but will also distribute it evenly to prevent it from concentrating in the upper part of the installation. This combination of technology further enhances the various advantages of radiant heating, offering the perfect balance between thermal and comfortable environment.

When choosing which heating system is optimal for your facility, you must take into account not only the initial investment costs, but also those that in the medium and long term will mean greater savings for the company and at the same time be more environmentally friendly.
Radiant heating, combined with HVLS fans, offers the best overall solution to maximize comfort and minimize energy consumption.
