Warmco Heating Factories

Volac at Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, Wales

Warmco completed two projects for Volac over the Autumn/Winter 2011 - 2012.

In September 2011, during an expansion of production into new premises, Warmco installed four TR100, gas fired, suspended, warm air heaters into a modern portal framed, 20,000 sq. ft. factory unit. Individually these heaters can modulate from 101 kilowatts, down to 66 on lower output, when less heat is needed to merely maintain the temperature. Cumulatively the four heaters allow modulation from 404, right down to 264kws, facilitating a large saving on fuel requirements (of as much as 30%). We also installed six destratification fans (WCU60), to recover and recirculate the heat rising within the building; this could allow a further 30% saving on fuel costs.

The customer was so pleased with our work on the first project that in February '12, they invited us to quote to fit another TR50 suspended warm air heater into a smaller 2000 sq. ft. factory area. On the photo you will see that the heater was positioned vertically, to blow warm air straight down into the production area. This was done because there was no wall space available, but positioning vertically gave the added advantage of allowing the heater to act as a destratification fan, recirculating the heat.

Flowstop Ltd, Sheffield

Warmco supplied and installed a Winterwarm TR50, suspended, gas fired unit heater, into this new build assembly / production area of 3,000 sq. ft., in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in December 2011. Prior to the installation, the workers in the factory had been taking issue with feeling cold, so our brief was to heat the space to an acceptable temperature, in the most cost effective way possible. As the heat output of the warm air heater modulates from a maximum output of 50kw down to 32kw on low fire, and the fan speed (controlling the air flow from the heater) also has three settings, this enables the heaters to provide a more even temperature throughout the working day and can save up to 30% on running costs.

Smeaton Bros at Rotherham, South Yorkshire

Warmco installed six suspended gas, warm air, industrial heaters in new factory and showroom premises in Thurcroft near Rotherham. Four Ambirad LCSA heaters were installed in the factory area and two Winterwarm XR20 heaters in the showroom. To avoid heat stratification in the apex of the building, Warmco installed four WCU60 destratification (heat recovery) fans in the factory space.

Q-Matic at Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

Two Winterwarm TR60 (rated 60kw to 39kw) suspended gas unit heaters were installed in a new build factory and storage area of 8,000 sq feet in Milton Keynes. The heating system was installed over a period of two days and the heaters were set up on a natural gas supply. Furthermore three Winterwarm WCU60 destratification fans were installed to reduce the temperature gradient between floor and roof height, each of the fans were suspended 1 metre from the roof.

Ficep at Normanton Near Wakefield, West Yorkshire

Two Winterwarm suspended gas space heaters, the TR100 rated 100kw to 66kw, and a Winterwarm TR80 rated at 80kw to 47kw, were installed in the new factory and showroom premises of 18,000 sq feet near Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Four Winterwarm WCU60 destratification fans were also installed to help improve the efficiency of the warm air heating system. See pictures below:

Delta Adhesives at Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Warmco installed a Winterwarm TR80 rated 80kw to 47kw suspended gas heater to heat a new build factory and warehouse area of 8,000 sq feet in Barnsley. The heater was installed within a day and was supplied by a bulk propane supply. Warmco also installed two Winterwarm WCU60 destratification fans to help combat stratification, each fan was fitted with a room thermostat so that the fan will operate automatically. The fans will help to save up to 30% on fuel costs.
