Heating of the Zeppelin Ukraine Warehouse Complex
Infrared Heating of a Warehouse Complex — a Real Project
In May 2020, Teplov completed a heating project for the warehouse complex of Zeppelin Ukraine in Lviv.
The total area of the facility was 580 m². The walls and ceiling of the warehouse were made of sandwich panels.
Before selecting the equipment, a thermal calculation of the building was carried out. The number and power of the infrared heaters were selected based on the building structure, calculated heat losses and the required temperature regime.

Project Objective
The customer needed an autonomous heating system for the warehouse complex.
Several heating options were considered, including electric and solid-fuel boiler systems, convector heating and infrared heating.
For this facility, Teplov P4000 ceiling infrared heaters were selected.
Thermal Calculation and Equipment Selection
For a warehouse facility, the required number of heaters cannot be determined by floor area alone.
The building structure, envelope characteristics, heat losses and required indoor temperature all need to be taken into account when designing the heating system.
Following the thermal calculation for this project, 16 P4000 infrared heaters were selected.
Each P4000 has a rated power of 4 kW, giving a total installed power of: 16 × 4 kW = 64 kW.
Heating System with 16 P4000 Heaters
The infrared heaters were installed under the ceiling of the warehouse.
The P4000 is designed for heating large premises and can be used in industrial and warehouse facilities. In this project, the equipment was selected according to the parameters of the building and the required indoor temperature of +18 °C.
Model specifications: P4000 — 4000 W, up to 40 m², ceiling-mounted infrared heater.
Project Result
A complete electric infrared heating system consisting of 16 Teplov P4000 heaters was implemented in the 580 m² warehouse complex.
The total installed power of the equipment is 64 kW.
The project demonstrates an approach in which warehouse heating equipment is selected on the basis of a thermal calculation rather than simply by applying a fixed power-to-area ratio.
Industrial Heating
This project is one of Teplov's examples of implementing infrared heating systems in industrial and warehouse facilities.
More information about infrared heating for different industrial premises is available in the Industrial Heating section.
