Innovative hall heating systems - our contribution to the future for more than three decades

Innovation is not an end in itself - innovation has one goal: to offer you, as a user of large heating systems, solutions that enable you to meet the demands of the times more easily, better and more efficiently.

This is the credo at KÜBLER. The consequence: above-average investment in research and development. With results that set standards. 50 % of turnover is now generated by products that have been on the market for barely two years. Added to this are numerous awards. Today, KÜBLER is one of the innovation leaders - throughout Europe.

Infrared efficiency principle

What nature has in common with the best hall heaters

Energy efficiency is a megatrend. And the infrared heating principle is the method of choice for the efficient heating of large rooms. In our opinion, it is the best heating technology for any hall. Future-proof, technically convincing and legally compliant.

Infrared is the natural thermal principle of the sun. Physics uses this term to describe electromagnetic waves in a defined spectral range at the boundary to visible light. Infrared rays in long-wave frequency are emitted by every thermal source. These infrared rays have the property of only heating the bodies they hit. Heat transfer by infrared is therefore very different from convection, i.e. the heating of ambient air.

The ratio of convection to infrared provides information about the quality and efficiency of an infrared system. This is based on a physical law: the higher the temperature of a heat source, the lower its (undesirable) convective component and the higher its (desirable) infrared component. A physical law that KÜBLER utilizes to its limits.

Infrared rays heat. Without air movement, without draughts, without swirling up dust. The most pleasant heating principle on our planet. That's what makes infrared so comfortable.

Infrared rays heat bodies and objects that absorb them. Air remains unaffected. A decisive advantage in high halls. This is because there are no warm air pockets that rise upwards and fizzle out unused under the hall roof. Infrared heat works where it is used. That's what makes it so economical.

Comfortable, efficient and economical: KÜBLER has made infrared its efficiency principle because of these advantages. And the performance of this principle in its hall heating technologies has been at the forefront since 1989. Today, KÜBLER infrared systems are powerhouses with the lowest energy requirements. Highly intelligent and unique in many ways.

Revolution hall heating

Nothing less than a new technology - innovation made by KÜBLER

The latest development from KÜBLER is Fair.AIdH, a new category of infrared hall heating that differs from classic dark radiators. The multi-energy infrared heating system is a world first and combines infrared heat transfer, which is unsurpassed in indoor buildings, with the use of green electricity (e.g. from PV), hydrogen, (bio)methane or (biogenic) liquid gas.

Depending on availability, the energy sources can also be used in a mix, with gas balancing out the volatility of renewable energies and thus ensuring security of supply. In addition, Fair.AIdH heating lines such as FUTURA, FUTURA E or ELEXTRA integrate the two functions of heat supply and LED lighting in one device. The revolutionary Fair.AIdH technology offers a sustainable, immediately implementable and economical transformation path to the heating transition, which can be used with investment security from today to beyond 2045. The innovative FUTURA heating line for climate protection has already won six prestigious innovation awards (see above).
