For this project, which was undertaken in April 2022, Warmco were asked to heat this 8,000 square foot warehouse space. We installed suspended, Winterwarm XR30 and XR60 plus, natural gas fired unit heaters, alongside three WCU40 de-stratification fans.
This manufacturer of shredding machines needed to keep their warehouse heated up to a temperature of 16 degrees (if given a temperature of minus three outside). The modern portal framed unit was split into a smaller 2000 sq. ft space which we heated with our XR30 heater, and a larger 6,000 sq. ft area where we located our XR60 plus heater. Both heaters can be used to get their spaces up to temperature quickly, but once the thermostatic control panels register that they have achieved the desired temperature, they have the capacity to modulate down from 29kw to 19 kw and 61kw to 37kw, respectively on low fire, to ‘top up’ the heat. This modulation feature offers a fuel cost saving of up to 30% against standard non-modulating models of heater. We also installed three WCU40 heat recovery (de-stratification) fans into the six to seven-metre-high spaces, to redistribute the heat that would gather at high levels. Typically, the addition of this type of fan, would offer a fuel cost saving of around 30% to the end user. The installation took just two days, during which time our engineers worked to create minimal disruption to the customer.
