Radiant Heating Systems Cambridge
Thursday, July 29th, 2010In the heating industry there are two main types of heating; convection and radiant heating. It’s vital that the right type of heating is selected for your premises as each has specific benefits. Fortunately ABS is one expert company which specialises in oil and gas fired radiant heating systems as well as warm air (convection) heating. This means that we can help you decide whether to opt for convection or radiant heating Cambridge and the surrounding areas. We aim to help prospective customers gain insight into how exactly each type of heating operates, and what advantages it can afford them.
Convection heating is very common and works by heating air as a way of warming a room or area. The heated air is then dispensed around the room in order to warm inhabitants therein. Advantages include the fact that convection heating works very quickly, and due to the movement of air large areas can be warmed after only a short period. However, the fact that warm air can move is also a disadvantage, as it means that it can escape from buildings or be blown away relatively easily.
Radiant heating from ABS works differently. Simply put, in radiant systems heat is emanated from an efficient element rather than blown around in the air. One of the benefits of this method is the fact that an average room temperature can remain low whilst high levels of inhabitant comfort maintained. Heat cannot be blown away or escape through ducting either.
This system is effective all year round, has almost silent operating processes and doesn’t exacerbate virus, allergy or respiratory related problems occasionally associated with the circulation of warm air. If you have an industrial building or larger area which requires warming, radiant heating Cambridge from ABS Ltd could well be the answer.
