Industrial Heaters

Convection heaters are a great option for commercial and industrial spaces that require consistent and efficient heating. These heaters work by using convection currents to circulate warm air throughout a room, providing uniform heat distribution.

What Is a Convection Heater?

With a convection heater, air is passed through a heating element and warmed. As the air is warmed, it will rise and evenly distribute throughout the room.  

• Produces a high volume of heat, making them ideal for warming expansive areas
• Easy to install and operate
• Available in electric and gas models 
• Lack of fan results in silent operation

Are Convection Heaters Energy Efficient?

Yes, convection heaters are generally considered to be energy efficient. Unlike radiant heaters that heat objects directly, convection heaters heat the air, resulting in a more uniform distribution of heat. Compared to other types of industrial heaters, convection heaters typically require less power to operate. This is due to their ability to distribute heat evenly and efficiently, which allows them to achieve the desired temperature more quickly and maintain it with less energy.

Are Convection Heaters Safe?

Convection heaters are generally considered safe for commercial applications. Their even heat distribution, lack of open flames, built-in safety features, and proper ventilation requirements contribute to their overall safety. However, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines, perform regular maintenance, and ensure proper ventilation to maintain a safe working environment.

These powerful heaters are designed to provide efficient and effective warmth in even the most challenging environments. Not only are salamander heaters powerful, but their portability and versatility also make them great for spot heating and emergencies. 

What Is a Salamander Heater?

A salamander heater is a type of industrial heater that is commonly used in commercial settings for temporary heating applications. Unlike traditional space heaters, which are typically used for smaller spaces or personal use, salamander heaters are designed to heat large areas such as construction sites, warehouses, garages, and workshops.

• Powerful heating capacity that is ideal for large spaces
• Portable and versatile 
• Available in electric and gas models

Why Is It Called a Salamander Heater?

The name "salamander" is fitting because these heaters are often used in environments where traditional heating systems are not practical or available. Just as the salamander can survive in extreme conditions, salamander heaters are designed to withstand harsh working environments and provide reliable heat even in challenging conditions. Torpedo heaters are another name that is used interchangeably for this type of heater.

How Hot Does a Salamander Heater Get?

The temperature achieved by a salamander heater depends on various factors, including the fuel source used and the specific model of the heater. For example, propane-fueled salamander heaters tend to produce higher temperatures compared to their natural gas counterparts. Some models can reach temperatures as high as 500 degrees Fahrenheit or even higher.

It's important to note that the temperature output of a salamander heater can be adjusted to suit different heating requirements. Many models feature adjustable thermostats or heat settings that allow you to control the intensity of the heat output. This flexibility is particularly useful when you need to maintain a specific temperature or create a comfortable working environment.
