Heating a pharmacy with infrared heaters: a real project in Ivano-Frankivsk
Pharmacy Heating with Infrared Heaters: A Real Project in Ivano-Frankivsk
Heating a pharmacy has its own specific requirements. Frequently opened entrance doors, limited floor space, retail shelving, and the need to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the working day require a well-planned heating solution.
For small commercial premises, one practical option is infrared heating using ceiling-mounted electric heaters.
The Task: Heating a Pharmacy of up to 50 m²
Teplov was tasked with providing effective heating for a pharmacy in Ivano-Frankivsk with an area of up to 50 m².
The main requirements for the system were:
- maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature;
- maximizing the available usable space;
- avoiding interference with retail equipment;
- providing temperature control;
- using an electrical heating system without a complex network of pipes.
Project Parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Facility | Pharmacy |
| City | Ivano-Frankivsk |
| Area | Up to 50 m² |
| Heating type | Electric infrared heating |
| Equipment | Teplov B1350 |
| Installation | Ceiling-mounted |
The Solution: Ceiling-Mounted Infrared Heaters
Teplov B1350 infrared heaters were selected for heating the premises. Ceiling installation made it possible to position the heat sources in the upper part of the room without occupying floor or wall space.
This is particularly important in a pharmacy, where every square meter is used for retail shelving, equipment, and workstations.
Why Was Infrared Heating Chosen for the Pharmacy?
Infrared heaters transfer thermal energy to surfaces and objects within their operating zone. As a result, thermal comfort is not based solely on heating the air.
This is particularly relevant for pharmacies because entrance doors are opened frequently. In addition, ceiling-mounted infrared heaters do not occupy valuable floor space or interfere with customers and staff, allowing the retail area to be organized more efficiently.
The system can also operate together with a thermostat, allowing the desired temperature to be maintained automatically.
Economical Pharmacy Heating
The energy efficiency of an electric heating system depends on several factors, including the building's thermal insulation, the size and quality of windows and doors, outdoor temperature, operating schedule, and correct equipment sizing.
Therefore, economical pharmacy heating should begin with a proper heat-loss calculation. Based on this calculation, the required heating capacity, number of heaters, and optimal equipment layout can be determined.
The completed project in Ivano-Frankivsk demonstrates the use of Teplov B1350 infrared heaters for heating small commercial premises.
More examples of Teplov heating systems can be found in the portfolio of completed projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can you heat a pharmacy of up to 50 m²?
The required number of heaters should be determined based on the calculated heat losses of the specific premises.
Are ceiling-mounted heaters suitable for pharmacies?
Yes. They do not occupy usable floor space and can be installed above retail and working areas.
Can the temperature be regulated automatically?
Yes. The system can operate with a thermostat to maintain the desired temperature.
Can Teplov B1350 heaters be used in a shop?
Yes. The equipment can also be used in other commercial premises. However, the number of heaters and their layout should be determined individually for each facility
