Precise Spot Heating For Boyriven With Powrmatic Radiant Tube Heater

Following installation of a Powrmatic PTUL Radiant Tube Heater, specialist fabric supplier Boyriven has been able to reduce heating bills while improving temperature control in occupied areas. The Powrmatic heater was specified and installed by heating engineers Andover Gas Engineers Ltd. Boyriven is an independent supplier of fabrics to the automotive, marine and interior/contract upholstery sectors with its headquarters in Andover, Hampshire. Originally the 7484m2 building, with an apex height of 8.1m, was heated using Powrmatic warm air heaters. The installation was carried out on a Friday to minimise production downtime. In recent years the building usage has changed so that it was no longer necessary to heat the whole building, whilst the heating of the occupied working areas was insufficient. This led to the use of costly floor-standing electric heaters to heat the working areas and benches. To improve the heating for staff while reducing energy consumption overall, Andover Gas Engineers Ltd specified spot radiant heating to serve just the occupied areas. The heater has been installed sufficiently high that fork lift trucks can still operate beneath it and access high racking. It has also been positioned to ensure that the radiant heat isn’t ‘shaded out’ by the racking, so that the staff are bathed in radiant heat within around three minutes of switching the heater on. This is facilitated by the use of aluminium reflectors on Powrmatic PTUL radiant tube heaters to maximise the downward radiant heating effect.
