Infrared heating workplace - power calculation and application
How do I calculate the right heating power for workplaces?
Basic rule: Infrared heaters for workplaces heat only the required area precisely. Guideline: 0.2kW per m² for the coldest winter days.
| Power |
Heating area at 0.2kW/m² |
Typical application |
TANSUN model |
| 2kW |
Up to 10m² work area |
Single workplace, small packing tables |
Apollo Single 2kW |
| 3kW |
Up to 15m² work area |
Larger packing tables, order picking |
Apollo Double 3kW |
| 3kW (2x1.5kW) |
Up to 15m² flexibly distributed |
Variable workplaces, sales areas |
Spotter 2x1.5kW |
| 4kW+ |
Up to 20m²+ work area |
Large workstations, multiple places |
Combination of multiple devices |
Important: During transitional seasons or less intensive use, the devices can also efficiently heat larger areas. The dimmer allows optimal power adjustment.
