A large warehouse room cannot be heated with a single radiator; an entire heating system is needed. It can be central or local. Usually, local systems are not used for heating warehouses, since the specifics of work in such a room involves the removal of a heat generator outside of it. Central systems can be water, steam, air and combined.
Instructions
Step 1
The coolant can move through the system in a natural way, due to the difference between cold and warm air or water. Forced circulation is also used, it is produced by pumps (coolant - water) and fans (coolant - air). You choose the heating system yourself in accordance with the requirements of fire safety and sanitary and hygienic standards.
Step 2
The premises are divided into categories of fire and explosion hazard according to the requirements of SNiP 2.04.05-91. Warehouses of categories A, B and C are heated by water, air and steam heating systems. In rooms where substances that form explosive mixtures when in contact with water or steam are stored, this type of heating is not used.
Step 3
Warehouses of categories D and D are heated using air, water and steam heating. Water heats up to 150 degrees, and steam - up to 130.
Step 4
Water heating gives a more even heating of devices at a low temperature and does not cause dryness in the room. When using dry saturated steam, the service life of the pipelines is reduced, but they warm up much faster at start-up.
Step 5
With air heating, you will get a high efficiency of the heating system, a good environmental situation in the room. This type of heating has recently been used more and more and is the most cost effective. You will pay off the capital costs of installing air heating in a warehouse in one or two seasons.
Step 6
Heating units must be located outside the warehouse. The air goes through the air distributors, they provide a uniform flow of return through the room. You need to determine the cross-sectional area in order to select a suitable diffuser.
Step 7
You will also need to choose the heating system devices: panel and sectional radiators, smooth and finned pipes, convectors. Usually, devices with a smooth surface are placed in warehouses so that they are easy to clean.
Step 8
Distribute appliances throughout the warehouse to ensure even heating.
