HEATING OF INDUSTRIAL PREMISES General

Industrial buildings can generally be divided into three classes with regard to their heating:

1. Buildings that are thermally insulated and airtight. These buildings can be heated with a heating system.

2. Buildings without thermal insulation and/or measures against wind flowing through the outer walls. It is too expensive to heat these buildings totally; local heating or radiant heating at the working places represents a possible solution. An example of buildings of this kind is a warehouse.

3. Buildings where the waste hear from processes is so high that no further heating is needed. This is the case for instance in foundries.
