Heating a parkour gym in Kharkiv
Seven Teplov P4000 infrared heaters were selected for sports facility heating at a parkour gym in Kharkiv. The task was to heat a large, high-ceilinged space which, according to the project description, had no heating when the customer approached Teplov.
The needs of a parkour gym
A parkour gym needs to keep floor space available for mats, training structures and movement. Heating equipment must be positioned to suit how the space is used. This project uses overhead heaters, visible beneath the roof structure in the photographs.
The Teplov equipment solution
The project description records the selection of seven P4000 heaters following a calculation. This configuration has a combined rated power of 28 kW: seven units rated at 4 kW each. This is calculated from the equipment quantity and model rating, not measured electricity consumption.
System configuration
| Parameter | Project information |
|---|---|
| Model | Teplov P4000 |
| Quantity stated in the project description | 7 |
| Rated power per heater | 4 kW |
| Calculated combined rated power | 28 kW |
| Placement | Overhead within the gym |
Why this arrangement suits a parkour gym
Keeping the training floor clear
Ceiling-mounted infrared heaters do not occupy floor space, leaving it available for sports equipment and activities. Height alone does not guarantee adequate separation from athletes: the use of elevated training structures must also be considered.
A model for large spaces
The Teplov catalogue lists the P4000 for large spaces, including sports halls. Infrared radiation transfers part of the heat to surfaces and people within its coverage; warmed surfaces also exchange heat with the air. The outcome depends on power, heat loss and heater placement.
Installation by the customer
For this project, the customer installed the Teplov heaters without engaging a specialist installation company. The electric heaters themselves do not require pipework carrying a heating fluid. Installation must follow the manufacturer’s instructions, with suitable fixings and clearances. Electrical connections, protection and controls must be appropriate for the system load and installed by someone with the relevant qualifications.
Accounting for parkour activities
The layout should account for training structures, movement paths and the possibility of people approaching the heaters. Specific clearances must follow the equipment documentation and site conditions. Heating does not eliminate heat loss through the building envelope or ventilation.
Planning heating for your sports facility
This case illustrates Teplov P4000 heaters in a sports setting and installation organised by the customer. Another gym requires a separate assessment of heater quantity. Provide a floor plan, area, ceiling height, insulation and ventilation details, required temperature, training schedule and available electrical capacity. Include the positions of training structures so that you can discuss a suitable layout with Teplov.
Frequently asked questions about heating a gym
Will seven Teplov P4000 heaters be enough for another gym?
This configuration belongs to a specific project. For another gym, heater quantity depends on heat loss, height, ventilation, required temperature and installation conditions. Explore Teplov heating solutions for commercial and sports premises to learn about the selection process.
What matters when positioning heaters in a parkour gym?
Consider not only floor level but also elevated training structures, athletes’ movements, obstructions to radiation and possible access to the equipment. Fixings and clearances must be checked against the instructions for the particular model.
Does a 28 kW rating mean the system constantly draws 28 kW?
No. It is the sum of the seven heaters’ rated powers. If all seven operate at rated power for one hour, calculated consumption is 28 kWh. Actual consumption depends on operating time; metered consumption and control settings for this site have not been published.
