Truck Service Station Heating with Infrared Heaters — Teplov Project

In 2020, a heating system was implemented at a truck service facility in the Rivne region of Ukraine.

The project involved replacing the existing gas infrared heaters while keeping the possibility of heating individual working areas without placing equipment on the floor.

For broader industrial applications, see industrial heating of service stations and production facilities.

Project data

Replacing gas heaters with Teplov P4000

The facility was previously heated with gas infrared heaters. During modernization, they were replaced with Teplov P4000 infrared heaters.

The infrared heating principle was therefore retained while the heating equipment was changed to an electric system.

Ceiling-mounted P4000 heaters remain outside the working area and do not interfere with vehicle movement, equipment or personnel.

Local heating of working areas

At a truck service station, working areas change according to vehicle position and the service operation being performed.

The project therefore provides the possibility of heating the required areas locally instead of treating the entire facility as one uniform heating zone.

Why ceiling installation was used

The working area must remain clear for:

• heavy vehicles;
• lifting and repair equipment;
• personnel movement;
• service operations.

Ceiling installation keeps the heating equipment outside this space.

Other models are available in the ceiling infrared heaters.

Reuse of the solution

After this project was implemented, the customer installed the same models at another facility — a service station of an affiliated company in the Lviv region.

This is a documented example of the same equipment being selected again for a facility with a similar purpose.

Another service station project

Another example of electric ceiling heating at an automotive facility is presented in the electric ceiling heaters for service stations and workshops.
