Case Study:
Infra-red Heating Warms The Congregation at
South Muskam Church
|
|
South Muskam Church lies just West of Newark in
the North Nottingham Countryside Like many Churches throughout the United Kingdom, heating is difficult due to the large interior and infrequent use of the building. The Problem This Traditionally built church had the same problem as most old churches, the high ceilings and large open interior made it very difficult to heat. In the 1960's a gas heating system was installed. This system comprised a number of wall mounted heaters but maintenance costs on this outdated system were high and the heating effect was unsubstantial |

The Solution
By installing a series
of 1.5kW radiant infra-red heaters, specified and supplied by Leisure
Heating Ltd, the church now has a full heating system which primarily
heats the congregation rather than large volumes of air.The Benefits |

Electric Infra-red Heating Infra-red heating is based on the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic radiation. Infra-red emitters are classified according to the temperature dependent peak wavelength which they emit and can be short-wave, medium-wave and long-wave. Short-wave infra-red heaters have the ability to heat people directly without having to heat up the air first. They are compact, energy efficient and easily installed. The element used has a thermal response similar to an electric light bulb so is instant. Infra-red heaters can be easily used with PIR movement detectors or with power controllers.
