When it comes to industrial heating, oil heaters are widely considered to be safe and efficient tools for heating large commercial spaces. These heating units, which look similar to steam radiators, are versatile alternatives to installing a central heating system in large industrial areas.
Unlike ceramic heaters, oil heaters are safe because the surface does not get dangerously hot. The heating units are powered by electricity, so they do not actually burn the oil inside. Instead, the oil serves as the heat transfer unit, spreading the warmed oil throughout the coils of the heater.
These heaters are perfectly suited for use in small and large areas where gas radiators are not an option. They provide sufficient heat without requiring a lot of floor space. These types of items are typically low wattage, so they will not over burden your company's electrical circuits in the way of some other electric heaters.
Fan-forced heaters can kick up dirt, dust, and other allergens, making them unsafe for use with allergy sufferers. Oil products rely on convection and airflow instead of fans, making them a healthier option for people who suffer from indoor allergies. If you prefer the option of a fan and are not worried about allergies, you can find some oil heater models that have optional fan systems.
In general, oil heaters are considered to be a safer option when compared to some other types. There is less risk of an electrical fire due to their design and low wattage requirements. Oil heating units are designed for hours of use without overheating, so they can be used for extended periods of time without any issues. Fuel-burning radiators are also known to be a fire hazard, and they can give off dangerous carbon monoxide fumes, particularly in small spaces. Since oil radiators do not actually burn fuel, they are superior to other types of space heaters. Most oil heaters have built-in fail-safe systems that shut the heater off if there is too much heat being generated at any given time.
Prices for oil heater units can vary greatly depending on the heating capacity and other features offered on each model. Electronic panels with easy to read displays are made for areas both large and small, so you can choose the heater that best meets your needs. While these units tend to be more expensive than other types of smaller heaters, the ease of operation and safety features make them well worth the price paid.
Oil heaters are a safe and convenient way to heat any area in your industrial plant without spending a fortune on heating costs. These units are safe for use around people and can be used safely for long periods. When you are ready to consider adding a supplemental heat source to your industrial plant, consider the many benefits that an oil heater can provide this winter.
