SPC recently showcased the versatility of its industrial heating solutions by manufacturing and supplying a comprehensive heating system for a workshop and joinery shop within a factory located in the Midlands.

Optimal Heating Capacity: Eight white CiRRUS Unit Heaters were installed, including seven Ci6 models and one Ci5 model, to ensure a comfortable working environment regardless of the workshop size.

Flexible Mounting Options: A combination of horizontal unistrut, angled bracket, and vertical drop rod mounting Unit Heaters were installed, maximising space and achieving targeted heat distribution throughout the workshop.

Precise Temperature Control: Our SPC Waterside Delta Controller was chosen for efficient water flow and consistent temperature regulation, creating a comfortable workspace.

Customisable Airflow: Standard and 4-way louvres were incorporated into the Unit Heaters, allowing for precise airflow direction and control to suit different areas within the workshop.

Energy-Efficient Design: The CiRRUS Unit Heaters operate with a water temperature setting of 70°C flow and 50°C return, optimising heating performance while minimising energy consumption.

Balanced Heat Output: Each Unit Heater was equipped with a 2-row coil, ensuring the perfect balance between heat output and system efficiency.

Direct Heat Delivery: Free-hanging radiant panels were installed in the joinery shop to provide direct and efficient radiant heating to workers and objects, maintaining comfortable working temperatures without excessive air movement.

Sleek Aesthetics: The radiant heating panels boast a sleek aluminium trim, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the joinery shop while protecting the radiant panel edges.

Streamlined Hot Water Delivery: 22mm pipe connections ensure an efficient and streamlined hot water delivery system for the radiant panels.

This factory heating project showcases SPC’s ability to combine various heating solutions from our extensive range of HVAC products to create a bespoke and energy-efficient system that caters to the customer’s specific needs.

Do you face any heating challenges in your industrial space? Share your projects with us and our expert team will be happy to assist you in finding the perfect heating solution!

We’re excited to share a recent successful project completed by FES Group at Parkhead Health Centre in Glasgow! Our Sales Executive, Jack Johnson, recently visited the health centre to support a valued customer with the installation of radiant panels.

View the photos below showcasing the finished and nearly finished radiant panels seamlessly integrated into the T-bar ceiling.

The project presented a unique challenge due to the client’s metal frame ceiling, requiring custom brackets for a perfect fit. Our team rose to the occasion, successfully designing and delivering a test bracket to ensure compatibility. This demonstrates our commitment to exceeding customer expectations and delivering tailored solutions.

The successful completion of this project is a testament to excellent teamwork and dedication. We’re proud to have provided exceptional customer support and a solution that meets the specific needs of Parkhead Health Centre.

But that’s not all! Our online product configurator offers even more benefits to streamline your project workflow:

Manage Multiple Projects: Schedule and configure multiple projects, each with unique Fan Convectors, Unit Heaters, Air Curtains, and other HVAC products, all within a single, user-friendly interface.

Easy Referencing: Need to revisit specific selections for different rooms within a project? Our configurator allows for easy item and room referencing, making project management a breeze.

Heat pumps are rapidly becoming the frontrunners for industrial heating. Government funding is accelerating research into high-performance, cold-climate models, making them a viable option across a wider range of regions (UKRI Eleven projects launched to decarbonise heating and cooling). Heat pumps operate by extracting heat from outside to inside, offering a sustainable and efficient heating solution.

The future of industrial heating is even brighter when we integrate renewable energy sources like solar thermal or geothermal power alongside heat pumps. This combined approach can significantly decarbonise industrial heating applications (MDPI Renewable Power and Heat for the Decarbonisation of Energy-Intensive Industries).

While heat pumps are a game-changer, they don’t directly emit heat. This is where modern, energy-efficient emitters come into play. Here’s how these systems excel:

These panels use a principle similar to the sun’s warmth. iTwenty Eight Industrial Radiant Panels operate by hot water circulation. The heated panels then radiate heat directly to objects and people within their reach. This targeted approach minimises energy waste by not heating the entire air volume of a large space. Radiant panels are ideal for large-scale heating applications or task-specific zones, like keeping workers warm in specific areas of a warehouse.

These units are perfect for efficiently heating large, open spaces. Our CiRRUS Unit Heaters use hot water to heat air, which is then forced downwards by a fan. Unit heaters are strategically placed to deliver targeted warmth to specific zones within a large industrial building. This allows for efficient heating without wasting energy on areas that don’t require it.

These aren’t technically heaters, but they play a crucial role in maintaining energy efficiency in industrial settings. iForce Industrial Air Curtains create an invisible barrier of air at doorways or openings. This directed airflow helps prevent warm or cool air from escaping the building, reducing the workload on the heating or cooling system. Additionally, air curtains can help keep out dust, insects, and other airborne contaminants.

The future of industrial heating might involve a powerful combination: heat pumps working alongside efficient emitters. Imagine a scenario where a heat pump handles the heating needs, with radiant panels or unit heaters supplementing specific areas or kicking in during peak demand times. Air curtains at entryways can further enhance efficiency by minimising heat loss. This hybrid approach maximises efficiency and leverages the strengths of each technology.

We’re excited to introduce our new SPC Thermatile Electric Radiant Panels! These panels offer a powerful and efficient alternative to traditional low-pressure hot water heating systems, perfect for situations where hot water isn’t readily available.

Electric radiant panels function similarly to their hot water counterparts. They emit radiant heat that warms objects and people directly, creating a more comfortable and efficient heating experience. Unlike traditional convection heaters that heat the air, radiant panels deliver warmth directly, reducing energy waste.

Our SPC Thermatile Electric Radiant Panels come in two convenient sizes: 600x600mm and 1200x600mm. The smaller panel provides 250W of heating power, while the larger one offers 500W. This allows you to customise your heating solution to meet the specific needs of your space.

• Efficient and economical heating: Radiant heat warms objects and people directly, minimising wasted energy
• Comfortable radiant heat: Experience a more natural and comfortable warmth
• Versatile mounting options: Choose between free-hanging or suspended ceiling for optimal placement
• Sleek and modern design: The panels boast a clean smooth white aesthetic that complements any décor

If you’re seeking a radiant heating solution that prioritises efficiency, comfort, and ease of installation, then SPC Thermatile Electric Radiant Panels are the answer.

SPC is proud to have been a part of this exciting project. We manufactured and supplied Salisbury Museum with our innovative Chassis Fan Convector units – specially designed Fan Convector units without a casing, allowing for a more discreet and space-saving installation. These units, along with our Belgravia Classic Bel J style units, replaced the outdated heating system, bringing the museum up to current standards with modern, energy-efficient technology.

The project was expertly managed by Ben Lagden and installed by Wheelers of Westbury.

A more detailed look at how we transformed the Salisbury Museum’s heating system will be shared soon. But in the meantime, discover how SPC can create the ideal environment for your space too!
