Energy-saving space heating solutions for large spaces with Zehnder radiant ceiling heating panels

Radiant ceiling panels from Zehnder provide an optimum energy-saving heating system for large indoor spaces such as gymnasiums, sports halls, warehouses, and production and assembly halls.

This type of space heating solution can reduce energy consumption in large spaces by around 44%. The space heating ceiling systems are effectively used for warehouse heating or to control the indoor climate in large production halls.

Space heating with radiant ceiling panels

Large indoor spaces can be heated using the same principle as the sun, even without air movement. Radiant ceiling heating panels give off their heat through radiation. The Zehnder space heating solutions are widely used in different industries, usually installed as heat ceilings which are very efficient for space heating.
The advantage of this technology is the direct heating effect it has on the body, without the need to heat another medium first as with air heating.

With air heating, a room is either heated directly by gas heaters, electric heaters, oil burners or gas burners, or with a central heating system.
The air is heated either directly or indirectly and routed to the area where it is needed to increase the room temperature.

How much energy can you save by with the Zehnder space heating products, the radiant ceiling panels?

One of the most important considerations when choosing a heating and cooling system for a large indoor space is energy efficiency. Conventional air heating systems have a number of disadvantages in this respect:

Air heating systems require a high flow temperature.
It takes several hours for the room to reach the required temperature.
The heated air rises upwards and gathers under the ceiling, where it is wasted.
When the warm air comes into contact with a cold ceiling, this results in greater heat loss.

Radiant ceiling heating panels use the same principle as the sun, giving off most of their heat through radiation installed as a heat ceiling. The radiated energy is only converted into heat once it comes into contact with a surface, for example floors, walls, objects or people. Space heating with radiant ceiling panels has the following advantages:

Minimal temperature layering effect
Short heating and cooling time
Free choice of the source of energy; alternative energies, heat pumps, condensing boilers and waste process heat can also be used

...reducing energy consumption by more than 44% compared with other solutions.

Zehnder's space heating solution with radiant heating panels can be installed as part of an already existing space heating system or as a complete ceiling heating solution for any large warehouse, production and assembly hall.

The heat ceiling is also a popular solution for sports halls, gyms and schools. The potential to save energy makes Zehnder’s radiant ceiling panels a very smart all-around solution for any kind of space heating.
