Infrared heating for warehouse, production hall & logistics hall - TANSUN Apollo
Professional hall heating without preheating time: TANSUN Apollo infrared heaters provide immediate, targeted warmth for large warehouses, production halls, and logistics centers. With 2kW to 18kW power, you efficiently heat only the required work areas, not the entire hall. As the sole distributor for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, we guarantee you 40 years of TANSUN expertise and British premium quality.
Infrared heating warehouse - power calculation and installation
How do I calculate the right heating power for my warehouse?
Basic rule: Infrared heaters do not need to heat the entire hall area. The calculation is based on the actual work area.
| Application area |
Power per m² work area |
Example calculation |
TANSUN Apollo |
| Coldest winter days |
0.2 kW per m² |
25m² work area = 5kW |
Apollo 3x1.5kW (4.5kW) |
|
Transition period (autumn/spring) |
0.1-0.15 kW per m² |
25m² work area = 2.5-3.75kW |
Apollo with dimmer |
| Large hall, local heating |
0.2 kW per m² work area |
90m² in 2000m² hall = 18kW |
Apollo 9x2kW (18kW) |
Practical example: With an Apollo 18kW you can efficiently heat a 90m² work area in a 2000m² warehouse without having to heat the entire hall.
What mounting height for TANSUN Apollo infrared heaters?
Mounting guidelines for Apollo models (from 4.5kW):
| Mounting position |
Recommended height |
Heat distribution |
Application |
| Vertical (radiating downwards) |
Approx. 1m per kW power |
Intensive, direct heat |
Workplaces, production areas |
| Diagonally mounted |
30-50% lower than vertical |
Broader, gentler heat distribution |
Large areas, storage areas |
Concrete installation examples:

Why Apollo for warehouses instead of individual units?
-
Even heat distribution - Multiple heating rods side by side for homogeneous heating
-
Higher efficiency - Fewer mounting points with the same power
-
Professional appearance - Compact design for industrial applications
-
Easier installation - One device instead of several individual heaters
-
More cost-effective - Better price-performance ratio than individual units
-
Scalable up to 18kW - For very large work areas and high-bay warehouses
Is infrared heating suitable for poorly insulated warehouses?
Yes, especially suitable! TANSUN infrared heaters also work with poor insulation and frequently opened hall doors. The shortwave technology heats people, machines, and goods directly without having to warm the room air. Ideal for logistics halls with goods handling.

Frequently asked questions about infrared heating in warehouses
Does infrared heating also work with open hall doors?
Yes, since infrared heating directly warms people and objects, not the air. Heat losses through open doors are minimal.
How long do TANSUN Apollo heaters last?
The shortwave heating rods have a lifespan of up to 7,000 operating hours. With intensive use in single-shift operation, this corresponds to 5-7 years. After a tube replacement, the devices are immediately ready for use again.
Can multiple Apollo devices be combined?
Yes, for large work areas or multiple areas, several devices can be installed. We plan the optimal arrangement for even heat distribution.
Which control systems are available?
From simple on/off switches to intelligent temperature-controlled dimmers - we offer the right control system for every need.
