Zonal Heating of a Workshop at the Dovbysh Porcelain Factory

A zonal heating solution was implemented to provide local heating for a production line at the Dovbysh Porcelain Factory using Teplov infrared heaters.

The project included five Teplov P3000 infrared heaters, each rated at 3000 W. The heaters were ceiling-mounted to create a dedicated thermal zone around the production line without requiring the entire volume of the workshop to be heated uniformly.

The Task — Local Heating of a Production Line

Large production workshops often contain clearly defined working and technological areas. Employees and equipment may be concentrated in specific sections rather than distributed evenly throughout the entire building.

The task of this project was to provide heating directly in the area of the production line.

For this type of application, zonal or local heating allows heat sources to be positioned according to the actual location of working areas.

The Solution — Zonal Workshop Heating with Infrared Heaters

Infrared heating can be used to create separate thermal zones within a production facility. Infrared radiation transfers thermal energy to surfaces, equipment and objects within the heating zone.

At the Dovbysh Porcelain Factory, ceiling-mounted equipment was selected for the production line. Five Teplov P3000 heaters were used to provide local heating in the required area.

This approach can be particularly useful in workshops where personnel and production processes are concentrated in specific technological zones.

Equipment — 5 Teplov P3000 Infrared Heaters

The Teplov P3000 is an industrial infrared heater rated at 3000 W. The current product specification lists dimensions of 1200 × 436 × 72 mm, a weight of 17 kg and a 10-year warranty.

Why Zonal Heating Was Used in the Workshop

Zonal heating makes it possible to take the actual use of the production facility into account.

This approach can be appropriate when:

• working areas are concentrated in specific sections;
• the entire workshop does not need to be heated uniformly;
• a thermal zone is required above a production line;
• equipment and workplaces have a fixed location;
• floor space needs to remain available for production operations.

Creating separate thermal zones is one of the applications of industrial infrared heating.

Ceiling Infrared Heaters for Production Areas

Ceiling installation allows heaters to be positioned above working areas without occupying valuable floor space. This can be important in production facilities where the floor is used for machinery, materials and personnel movement.

Local Heating as Part of Industrial Workshop Heating

A zonal solution does not necessarily replace the general heating system of a building. The appropriate system depends on the operating schedule, location of working areas, building height, insulation and other thermal characteristics.

Industrial infrared heaters can be used both for general heating and for creating separate thermal zones.

Project Result

Five ceiling-mounted Teplov P3000 infrared heaters were installed to provide local heating for the production line at the Dovbysh Porcelain Factory.

The project demonstrates how zonal heating can be used in a production workshop when the heating system is focused on a specific working area and the equipment is positioned according to the technological layout of the facility.

Need Zonal Heating for a Workshop?

The selection of industrial infrared heaters depends on the building area and height, insulation, required temperature, working zones and other characteristics of the facility.

Teplov specialists can calculate the required heating capacity and help select the appropriate number and configuration of infrared heaters for a specific production facility.
