Large areas: smart heating with a hot-water unit heater

Although the choice of a heating system in the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors can sometimes be laborious, it must be considered on the basis of several factors: comfort, efficiency, profitability, and installation and maintenance costs. Vigmark has been recommending the Rittling hot-water unit heater (Zehnder) for many years on the basis of these factors.

How does a hot-water unit heater work?

The hot-water unit heater is without doubt one of the simplest heating systems in the industry. Its coil first transfers the heat produced by the hot water into the air. Some models also offer the option of using steam to power the coil.

Why invest in a hot water unit heater?

Investing in a hot-water unit heater means providing your building with a healthy, comfortable indoor climate. Available year-round from Vigmark, the hydronic unit heater is designed to adapt to the type and size of each building (commercial, warehouse, factory, garage, etc.). It goes without saying that the hydronic unit heater offers many other advantages:

 

  • Energy-efficient performance,
  • Uniform, constant heat,
  • Optimum comfort,
  • Healthy climate,
  • Robust, durable construction,
  • Directional control,
  • Low installation costs,
  • Low maintenance and easy repair,
  • Reliable two-year warranty,
  • Quiet fan,
  • High stock availability,
  • Excellent after-sales service,
  • Explosion-proof motor available.

Of course, since Vigmark guarantees you a complete, energy-efficient heating system, it’s essential to address the question of warm air curtains.

 

How can you improve your building’s energy efficiency?

The air curtain can be customized in a number of ways to suit customer needs. Several control options are available for optimum performance. As shown in the diagram above, the installation of an air curtain with electric heating solves the problem of winter discomfort; cold air remains outside and warm air inside. In summer, the air is simply circulated at room temperature, allowing the air conditioner to operate more efficiently. Several sizes are available. The various air curtains can cover surfaces ranging from garage-type warehouse doors to simple swing doors. A very compact model for small openings is also available, and the unit can easily be concealed in a false ceiling, combining practicality with aesthetics.

Finally, air curtains offer the comfort of a stable environment in ideal sanitary conditions. If you have any questions about hydronic unit heaters or our complementary products, contact Vigmark or consult our product pages.
