LOCAL WARMING

WHAT IS

LOCAL WARMING?

Local Warming means heating workstations and industrial spaces, without waste and with substantial energy savings, by using infrared technology.
The use of infrared technology makes it possible to create a “heat bubble” able to heat a specific area where people are present, only when necessary and only for as long as necessary; the heat is not affected by the movement of air caused, for example by doors and windows being opened and closed.

LIMITS

The limits of traditional air heating systems

The limits of traditional air heating systems Climate change and the increasing attention to the need for a reduction in CO2 emissions are two of the main factors that are currently hastening not only the transition to renewable sources, but also the search for solutions able to guarantee energy efficiency.

In this context, traditional thermo-hydraulic heating systems that heat the air have many limitations, such as:

THE UNNECESSARY WASTE OF ENERGY

due to the need for preheating, and the need to heat the entire volume of air of a room, expressed in cubic metres, rather than the individual zones

THE UNNECESSARY WASTE OF ENERGY

since it is necessary to heat areas where there is no real need, because there are no people there

COMPLEX, EXPENSIVE, CENTRALISED MANAGEMENT

in the event of sudden temperature changes

HIGH ENERGY CONSUMPTION

due to the need to keep the thermo-hydraulic heating system on almost constantly

THE NEED FOR EXPENSIVE, INVASIVE MASONRY WORK

from the installation to the renovation of the heating system

HIGH MANDATORY MAINTENANCE COSTS

MOVEMENT OF DUST, PARTICLES AND BACTERIA IN SUSPENSION

THE DIFFICULTY

of heating large industrial spaces, because heat is dispersed as a result of air movements, as is often the case with sectional doors, tilting doors, etc.

HIGH ECOLOGICAL IMPACT

Why is “local warming” the heating system of the future?

Compared to classic air heating systems, an IRK localised infrared heating system allows for significant energy savings, because it minimises the waste of energy required to operate the system.

MORE EFFECTIVE

With a localised infrared heating system, it is possible to easily solve the problem of heating individual working areas in large industrial spaces and maximise comfort for operators.

SIMPLER

Installing and/or implementing a STAR PROGETTI IRK localised infrared heating system means creating a simple electrical system that saves both time and money, because there is no need for expensive, invasive masonry work.

HEALTHIER

Because it does not cause air movements, dust, allergens, viruses and bacteria are not recirculated. In addition, compared to traditional gas systems, no condensation is generated inside the structure, and the air does not tend to dry out.

LESS EXPENSIVE

The cost of installing the system is minimal, because all it requires is a simple electrical system. Because it is not necessary to heat the whole volume of air in the room, but only the areas where it is actually required, or to compensate for the possible dispersion of hot air caused by opening and closing doors, energy consumption and running costs are significantly lower than for other systems. In addition, plant maintenance is minimal compared to other systems.

MORE ECOLOGICAL

Heating the work areas only where necessary for the time they are occupied significantly reduces energy consumption, and thus ecological impact.

In addition, by using the energy produced by a photovoltaic system, where present, or deciding to use energy produced exclusively from renewable sources, it is possible to make the heating system even more eco-sustainable. In this way, the volume of CO2 associated with running the heating system that is released into the atmosphere is reduced.

Deciding to heat an industrial space with Star Progetti means:

SAVINGS

Saving on heating system installation costs

FLEXIBILITY

Maximum flexibility, whatever the weather conditions

SAFETY

Avoiding air movement that is potentially dangerous as a result of the dust in suspension that may be harmful to operators

COST REDUCTION

The possibility to reduce the operating costs of the heating system by up to 70%

NO MAINTENANCE

Avoiding costly, complex regular maintenance activities

HIGH TECHNOLOGY

The possibility to immediately use the energy produced by a photovoltaic system

REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The possibility to help reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere
