What is a Warm Air Heating System?
Warm air heating is one of the most common types of factory heating in the UK. These systems use a fan to draw air in from the space being heated, pass it across a heat exchanger, and distribute the warmed air evenly throughout the space. Warm air heating solutions offer quick and effective heating for large industrial areas.
How Does a Warm Air Heating System Work?
Air intake: The system draws in cool air from the space.
Heating: The air passes over a heat exchanger, which is warmed by gas, electricity, or other fuel sources.
Distribution: Warm air is then circulated throughout the space using fans and ductwork.
Temperature control: A thermostat regulates the system to maintain the desired temperature.
