Heating industrial facilities with LPG

Industrial facilities—whether manufacturing plants or warehouses—present a significant challenge during the heating season. Similarly, in the case of sports arenas or children’s playrooms, heating costs have a major impact on profitability. The enormous volume means thousands of cubic meters of air to heat. It is no wonder, then, that owners of such facilities seek the most efficient solutions. For functional facilities, not only the choice of heating system but also the fuel plays a crucial role. Regardless of the hall’s purpose, it is important to achieve the necessary temperature while consuming fuel at the lowest possible cost.

Gas radiators are among the most effective solutions. They are powered by both natural gas and propane. In locations without access to the natural gas grid, installing a propane tank is the ideal solution. Ceramic gas radiators are considered one of the most cost-effective heating sources for large-volume spaces. A gas radiant heater emits heat in a specific direction without causing forced air movement. As a result, the heat reaches exactly where the user wants it, so there is no energy loss from heating spaces where a specific temperature is not required. In a situation where a process requiring a higher temperature than the rest of the production hall is being carried out, a gas radiant heater is the ideal solution. The use of gas radiant heaters also reduces heat loss, which typically occurs when heat reaches areas where the building has poorer thermal insulation. Heating with gas radiant heaters ensures that heat is used more efficiently, and savings can reach up to 30%.

Another popular solution is gas heaters. Since the liquid gas tank can be placed virtually anywhere, this solution is extremely popular. Using heaters in buildings with relatively low ceilings requires less investment than installing a boiler room and a heating system. The heaters have their own fan that forces air circulation, allowing rooms to heat up very quickly. In situations where a higher temperature is required in the hall only for part of the day, liquid gas heaters are ideal. Gas heaters are also used as air curtains. In halls with frequently opened gates or doors, significant temperature fluctuations occur. To prevent this, airlocks are used, which are heated by a gas heater once the gate is closed. The ease of igniting the heater’s burner and the use of appropriate automation allow for the elimination of temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the LPG burners used in the heaters are characterized by their long service life, which reduces the operating cost of the heater.

Using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to heat industrial facilities allows this fuel to be utilized for other purposes as well. With an LPG tank, you can use it to heat water, heat other rooms, or in industrial processes. Protection against uncontrolled gas leaks is standard in modern gas systems, and AmeriGas cylinders are always equipped with this safety feature. By using liquefied petroleum gas to heat industrial halls and other rooms, we gain an economical, safe, and reliable heating system.
