Factors to Consider Before Selecting a Warehouse heater




Several industrial heaters manufacturers provide heaters these days. But randomly selecting and installing one and going on doing your business is not advisable. Every warehouse is unique.  That is to say, all warehouses are different. It is highly unlikely that two warehouses will be the same. That is why the heating method that works for one warehouse may not necessarily work for another. A heater is a necessity, that is given. But before you install a heater there are certain factors that you must consider. Here are some of the factors you must consider before selecting a warehouse heater.

Size

One factor that determines the size of the heater is the size of your warehouse. If your warehouse has huge space and you need high heat output you may need a heater with greater capacity. If your warehouse space is small you may not need a heater with such a high capacity.  

Type of products

A warehouse stores a plethora of products. They range from hazardous chemicals to FMCG products. Different types of equipment are also used to take care of these products. While selecting a heater you must take heed of the products you will be storing and the types of equipment you will be using. The heater you use must not cause harm to any of the products you may store in future or the types of equipment that you would use.  

Business activities

The nature of your business might also affect the type of heater you buy. Are you a distributor or a carrying forward agent? How long are you going to store the product? Will you be storing the end product or raw materials? All of these factors related to the nature of your business will affect the choice of your heater. 

Space

Now, what is the difference between space and size? Size is the actual floor space of your warehouse whereas space is the amount of vacant space between two objects such as products, racks, etc. If the space between your products is less, it is advisable to have suspended heaters in various directions instead of a few mounted heaters.

Requirements

If you store different type of products chances are they may need a different degree of heating. One particular product might need low heating while another product needs high heating. You can place them in different places in the warehouse and then use radiant heaters. Radiant heating systems can be used to create heating zones. These different heating zones can have different heating temperatures.

All warehouses are different. The business that these warehouses support are also different. To make the most of your warehouse and maximize your profit you must study these factors before selecting a warehouse heater.

What are Bi-Drum Boilers? How Do They Work?

Image
Bi-drum boilers are used for purposes of power generation and as process steam generators. This type of boiler is used up to 100MW for generating power. Bi-drum boilers are non-reheat units which are getting wiped out due to high heat rate of the plant. These boilers are used for generating high steam pressure which is used for power generation owing to their ability to accommodate high load of fluctuation and respond to load changes with more agility compared a single drum boiler. The two drums in the bi-drum boiler are connected using a large number of convective heat transfer tubes known as bank tubes or boiler bank tubes. These tubes are about one thousand in number. The bank tubes and the drum at the bottom that contains water will have a water level that will be up to the normal working level of water in the upper drum. The water availability in the bi-drum boiler makes it very adoptable for large load changes. Flue gases enter the bank tubes which are placed towards t...

How Do Electrostatic Precipitators Work?

Image
Reducing air pollutants is vital for human health and the health of the environment. Poor air quality has harmful effects on human health, particularly the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Pollutants also damage plants and buildings, and smoke or haze can reduce visibility. Industries are largely responsible for causing pollution. They are also the ones who have access to a number of pollution control devices that absorb, filter, dilute, and disperse pollutants. One such device for pollution control is the electrostatic precipitator. This device works by removing particles and smoke from a gas stream using an electrostatic charge. Dust particles travel past wires that have a high direct current (DC) voltage applied, which ionises the surrounding gas. This corona discharge causes the particles to pick up a small electrostatic charge, without impeding the gas flow. Originally designed for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials, electrostatic precipitators are used a...

Quick overview of the Import & Export of Chemicals in India

Image
The chemical industry in India offers building blocks and essential raw materials for numerous industries such as paints, paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, soap, and detergents, etc. Let’s go through a few statistics of the chemical industry: The chemical industry in India is ranked 4th in Asia and 6th in the world. The global chemical industry is expected to be worth $4.7 trillion. The chemical companies in India contributes 3.4% to the global chemical industry. As of 2018, the chemical industry (including pharmaceuticals and fertilizers) stood at $163 billion. The Chemical sector in India is expected to grow at 9% per annum to reach $304 Bn by FY 2025. The expansion is anticipated to be pushed by rising demand in end-use segments for Specialty Chemicals and also for petrochemical intermediates. In 2015-16, the Chemical and Chemical Products sector accounted for 2.39percent of the GVA, compared to 2.23percent in 2014-15.18 Note: With India possessing a l...
