Heating in corona times
March 5, 2021
Whether in production halls or warehouses, many heating systems currently have a problem: they distribute viruses particularly well in the room. This is counterproductive for many hygiene concepts. But does this mean that heating systems have to stay cold this winter?
This is a question that concerns industry and local authorities. But operators of exhibition, event and sports halls also need answers. A tried and tested and very simple principle plays an important role here: infrared. This heat radiation is evenly distributed to the areas of the room used via ceiling heating systems without generating air movement. And they can be connected to an external fresh air supply system if regular ventilation is not possible.
Incidentally, these infrared heaters also reduce energy costs and lower CO₂ emissions in an environmentally friendly way. Often by half of the previous values. At a large textile machinery company in Mönchengladbach, for example, the reduction was over 65 percent. In buildings with large room volumes, such as halls, this also has a positive effect in terms of CO₂ pricing.

Nobody thinks about the hall heating when the sun is blazing, the asphalt is glowing and everyone is grateful for the slightest cooling. Or do they? Because anyone who looks ahead knows that summertime is maintenance time. So if you want to start the winter safely with your production halls or warehouses, it's good to be prepared. After all, the next heating period is often around the corner sooner than you think, which raises the question: is your hall heating system fit for the next season? -
When production is running in the run-up to Christmas, nobody has time for heating control. The main thing is that it is nice and warm in the hall. Once set, the heating runs for the specified operating times. -
Only around half of German companies are aware of their waste heat potential - as dena writes in its publication on waste heat utilization as part of the Energy Efficiency Initiative. This means that an estimated 226 TWh of usable heat goes unused every year. That is 36 % of the energy used by the entire manufacturing industry. This clearly costs companies an enormous amount of money, but at the same time the unused waste heat has a negative impact on the environment. Around 60 million tons of the greenhouse gas CO₂ evaporate unnecessarily into the atmosphere every year. In view of rising energy costs and climate protection targets, companies simply can no longer afford to do this.

"Heating with the windows open" in private households is like "heating with the doors open" in production halls and warehouses. It's great if you can afford this in industry and commerce because production and business are obviously running - unfortunately, this is not a matter of course for many companies in times of coronavirus.
