The customer requested that the heaters should be able to achieve an air temperature of 18 degrees inside, when the temperature is minus one outside.
As this building was quite high (6.5m at the eaves and 12m at the apex), we added six Winterwarm WCU60 de-stratification fans, that force the heat that gathers in the upper levels of the building back down.
We also needed to provide 200m of welded 4 inch gas pipework from one side of the building to the other to accommodate the siting of the heaters along the length of the building to create even heat distribution.
