OKEL’s Director visited site and met with representatives from our client’s operation to fully understand their heating requirements and to carry out a detailed survey of the premises to then be able to identify the most effective and efficient heating solution available.

Considering all the findings OKEL proposed a high efficiency warm air and destratification solution that would introduce 900 kw of warm air, consisting of wall mounted Winterwarm TR150 warm air heaters and Winterwarm WCU destratification fans to prevent heat loss and ensure heat remained on the lower ground where it was of most benefit to the work force and production.

In addition to the heat benefit, OKEL’s carefully thought-out design had the added benefit of a summer ventilation mode that would provide continuous air circulation and help to maintain a comfortable working temperature for the staff.

At the initial enquiry stage our client had also engaged with another commercial heating provider who had proposed heating the factory with a gas fired radiant heating system rather than warm air and destratification that had been recommended by OKEL.

Due to the customer having been presented with 2 different solutions and unsure which company / solution to progress with they chose to instruct an independent heating consultant to review each proposal and to make a final recommendation – the heating consultant chose in favour of OKEL’s high efficiency warm air and destratification design based on the improved overall spread of heat foe lesser kws, minimising of hot and cold spots throughout the factory and reduced running costs throughout the year.
