Air rotation heaters
Air rotation heating, a technology developed by Powrmatic in the USA some 40 years ago, is now proving increasingly popular in the UK. Its purpose is to provide high efficiency heating with excellent temperature control for warehousing and other large spaces, even where high density racking is in use, and provide flexibility where layouts change on a regular basis.
Powrmatic’s TE gas and oil fired free-standing air rotation heaters use high efficiency axial fans which move large volumes of air through the space at relatively low temperatures. Their ability to maintain set-point temperature is not affected by how the space is configured, so layouts can be changed without needing to re-position ductwork.
Typically, the air within the space is recycled through the heater every 30 minutes and the low temperatures maximise the potential for high efficiencies through condensing.
TE heaters typically range in size from 90kW to 800kW (though other capacities are available) and can be sited internally or externally, using natural gas, LPG or oil burners.
TE heaters minimise the effects of stratification so there is no additional expenditure on destratification fans, while the use of a free-standing heater also reduces installation costs.
