Customer Brief:
In December 2022, Newton Water Proofing of Leeds , authorized Warmco to install one Winterwarm EH40, suspended, electric, warm air heater for a modern 6,000 sq. ft. portal frame warehouse unit.
Features of the Heating System:
The area which is used as a warehouse to store temperature sensitive water proofing products, required back ground heating to keep the products above 5c. The space had previously been heated using a bulk propane gas fired heating system. The main issue for our client was to try to reduce their carbon footprint, so they decided to switch to a heating system powered by electricity from more renewable sources. The EH40 heater modulates automatically from 40kw down to 20kw, once the thermostat detects that the area is at the desired temperature. This means that they can create a fuel saving of up to 30% on running costs (compared to non-modulating heaters). Another key advantage of these heaters is that they are very compact (at 650mm wide x 490mm high x 655mm deep, allowing for the fan motor at the back of the heater). They can be either hung from roof purlins using threaded rod or they can be fixed on wall brackets; saving valuable space on the ground. The whole installation was completed within one day, and we were careful to work around the customer, so that we did not impede their activities.
