AmbiRad - Used by Troax for warm employees
The latest radiant heating technology from
AmbiRad – the all-new Vision™ range – is enabling specialist steel
products manufacturer Troax to maintain comfort temperatures for
employees during cold mornings and evenings. The heaters also
control condensation within the factory, keeping the stored steel
dry and preventing rust.
Troax’s manufacturing facility in Kingswinford, West Midlands, is a
3,500m², high roof building divided into four bays. The company
produces steel partitioning and doors for offices, warehouse and
factories. It also has a separate powder coating section.
While well-insulated, the building tends to be particularly cold in
the mornings before the production process starts to generate heat.
An ageing oil-fired warm air system was inadequate to the task of
bringing the premises up to temperature to provide comfort for
operatives.
Jim Wareham, production manager for Troax, selected the AmbiRad
Vision radiant heaters to replace the old system in two bays of the
factory. ‘Although this is a new range, I knew the technology would
be thoroughly tested and reliable. AmbiRad has a reputation for
quality heating products that deliver great economic benefits.’
Four VSX radiant tube heaters were installed in the roof space above
two production bays. A herringbone configuration allows flueing
straight to atmosphere, effectively eliminating the possibility of
condensation build-up.
The heaters take less than 30 minutes to bring the working
temperature up to 22°C. The units deliver heat exactly where it is
needed – where people are working and at the lowest two meters of
the building. Zoning allows maximum flexibility of operation as
units can be individually switched off when the area they heat is
not in use.
Jim Wareham adds: ‘With so much steel in stock, it tends to be very
cold in the factory. The AmbiRad Vision heaters combat the cold very
effectively.’
