Electric radiant heaters for large spaces

Vent-Axia has launched a range of electric radiant heaters for applications such as spaces with high ceilings such as warehouses and churches. There are heaters with outputs of 1.8, 2, 4 and 6 kW — the largest being capable of covering an area of up to 20 m2. Heat-up time is just one second, so heat is instantly available. The elements have a life of 5000 h.

The 1.8 kW model has an IP65 classification, making it resistant to dust and jets of water. It has a tungsten filament in a welded quartz tube and can cover an area of 8 to 10 m2.

These heaters can be installed on walls or suspended by chains.
