What is Local Warming?

Local Warming means targeting the warmth when and where you need it within an industrial space, by using HeatLogik Short-Wave electrical radiant infrared technology. This technology enables you heat targeted areas without waste and with substantial energy savings.

The use of HeatLogik short-wave infrared technology makes it possible to create a “heat bubble”, which is able to heat a specific area where people are present, only when necessary and only for as long as necessary. The heat is not affected by the movement of air caused, for example by doors and windows being opened and closed, or stratification, where warm air rises—a big problem when trying to provide heat in large spaces.

The limits of traditional warm air convection heating systems

Climate change and the increasing attention to the need for a reduction in CO² emissions are two of the main factors that are currently hastening not only the transition to renewable sources, but also the search for solutions able to guarantee energy efficiency.

In this context, traditional heating systems that heat the air have many limitations, such as:

The unneccessary waste of energy from the need for preheating and the need to heat the entire volume of air of a room, rather than the individual zones.

High energy consumption due to the need to keep the heating system on almost constantly.

The difficulty of heating large industrial spaces because heat is dispersed as a result of air movements, as is often the case with roller shutter doors, windows and poor insulation, etc.

Complex, expensive, centralised management in the event of sudden temperature changes.

The need for expensive, invasive masonry work from the installation to the renovation of the heating system.

High mandatory maintenance costs.

High ecological impact.

Why does “local warming” make HeatLogik technology the heating system of the future?

Compared to classic air heating systems, an IRK localised HeatLogik short-wave infrared heating system allows for significant energy savings, because it minimises the waste of energy required to operate the system.

More Effective

With a localised heating system, it is possible to easily solve the problem of heating individual working areas in large industrial spaces and maximise comfort for operators.

Simpler

Installing and/or implementing a HatLogik localised heating solution means creating a simple electrical system that saves both time and money, because there is no need for expensive, invasive masonry work.

Healthier

Because HeatLogik does not cause air movements, dust, allergens, viruses and bacteria are not recirculated. In addition, compared to traditional gas convection systems, no condensation is generated inside the structure, and the air does not tend to dry out.

Less Expensive

The cost of installing the system is minimal, because all it requires is a simple electrical system. Because it is not necessary to heat the whole volume of air in the room, but only the areas where it is actually required, or to compensate for the possible dispersion of hot air caused by opening and closing of roller shutter doors, energy consumption and running costs are significantly lower than for other systems. In addition, plant maintenance is minimal compared to tradition heating systems.

More Ecological

Heating the work areas only where necessary for the time they are occupied significantly reduces energy consumption, and thus ecological impact.

In addition, by using the energy produced by a photovoltaic system, where present, or deciding to use energy produced exclusively from renewable sources, it is possible to make the heating system even more eco-sustainable. In this way, the volume of CO² associated with running the heating system that is released into the atmosphere is reduced.
