What is the ideal workshop heating or hall heating?

Requirements for workshop heating

• Working temperature: In most craft stores, the working temperature is between 15 and 16 °C. How warm the heating must be set depends on the selected heating system. If the heat comes from above, the head area of the workshop is heated first. However, people perceive heat much more strongly through their feet and lower body, which is why ceiling fans and heaters that heat from above often have to be set to higher temperatures. If the heat is released at the bottom of the room, 16 degrees already feels very warm.

• Functions: It is important for halls and workshops that the heating functions quickly, economically and efficiently. Furthermore, it is important that the working temperature is quickly reached again when the doors are opened and closed frequently, or that the openings and closings are compensated. If the temperatures in the workshop or hall fluctuate frequently, underfloor heating and ceiling fans in particular have problems compensating for this.

• Mobility: The fact that a workshop heater is mobile only plays a role if the workshop/hall is rented and the heater can be taken along when moving. Normally, the heater is connected to a fixed location and fits in as part of the inventory of a workshop or hall. Mobility of a heater plays a greater role primarily on assembly and construction sites.

• Construction/shape: In workshops and halls, every square meter counts. The heating system must be small, compact and efficient.

• Frugality: Reducing fixed costs is the task of every business. Companies with workshops and halls are also concerned about keeping these costs as low as possible. Therefore, the economy of heating for halls and workshops is of great importance.

• Efficiency: The efficiency describes the ratio of resources used (electricity, fuel oil, gas) in relation to the heat released.

  Ceiling fans lose efficiency especially in the ducts and in the cooler itself. Also, the fact that warm air rises and ceiling fans, as the name suggests, hang from the top of the ceiling, and thus the warm air has to be transported downwards with a lot of effort, reduces the efficiency. It is around 30-40% for ceiling fans.

  Radiators have an efficiency of about 20%.

  Standard fan heaters have an efficiency of approx. 55-60 %.

• CO2 economy: Basically, less consumption = less CO2, if you compare, for example, with ceiling fan the exhaust pipe a conventional fan burner with the same power but poorer efficiency. Climate neutrality would be the optimal solution here. For this, however, the electricity would have to be self-generated and underfloor heating would have to be used. For most workshops and hall owners, this is not feasible in terms of cost. Therefore, the alternative should be as economical as possible.

• Sustainability: A heating system for halls and workshops is something for a longer period of time. Care should be taken not to focus on the purchase value, but to calculate how heating costs and maintenance costs for the heating system will develop in the future.

• Quality: In 2021, quality often also means sustainability. Products from the Far East are to be avoided
