BN Thermic

BN Thermic has a well-established reputation for providing effective heating solutions for warehouses. They have an excellent range of industrial fan heaters, and they also provide heating solutions for other areas. For instance, they provide self-regulating protection cables for warehouses. These use contemporary technology to ensure the cable’s output is reduced when the outdoor temperature increases. This is a very eco-friendly feature for large companies. They also prevent the costs and inconvenience of burst water pipes. So, when asked to help replace the respected OUH3 Industrial heaters in a warehouse, BN Thermic knew they had the tools at their disposal to excel at this task. Why Choose BN Thermic Industrial Fan Heaters in a Warehouse? BN Thermic have long been in the game when it comes to producing quality industrial heaters for warehouses. All businesses in need of heating solutions need to do is take a look at their brilliant record in this field. For example, they answered an urgent ‘call for help’ from a project at Quaife Engineering’s HQ in Sevenoaks, Kent. A recent electric heating system that had been installed had failed ‘catastrophically’. The area which required heating was a production area with several workers, stock and a mezz floor to be accounted for. The solution BN Thermic provided was perfect in its simplicity. Four industrial units would deliver 50kW of heat, and they would be suspended from the ceiling. The fan heaters are controlled via a 7-day timer, and have built-in thermostats and a frost thermostat to make sure the premises doesn’t drop below 5°C overnight. This project was acclaimed as an overwhelming success and was complemented by the head R&D engineer of Quaife. This explains why BN Thermic is one of the first manufacturers companies turn to when they need heating solutions for their warehouses. The challenge: replacing and improving an established heating system When given this task, it was made clear to BN Thermic that they were not to completely overhaul the OUH3 heating system, but instead renovate and update it. The reason that the OUH3 system did not need a complete redo is because it was tailor-made for warehouses to begin with. This heater comes in seven models, ranging from 3kW to 25kW output, and they all come with in-built thermostats. They have specially designed brackets for wall or ceiling mounting and are ideal for suspension. If you have multiple heaters they can all controlled from one point, and each of them are designed to be as efficient and convenient as possible. We here at Sparks are delighted to have in our catalogue some of these OUH3 models, with different heat outputs for your convenience. There are two models we bring in, OUH3-06 and OUH3-09. So how could BN Thermic improve upon this system? There were some issues related to control of the heaters and their adjustability. To answer this, we’ll take a look at what they kept and what they changed. BN Thermic: how they approached the OUH3 renovation BN Thermic decided to keep some of the staples of the OUH3 design that made them so popular to begin with. These included: The super tough design, suitable for the most demanding environments. A five-year warranty. Heat outputs from 3kW to 25kW All the parts are individually replaceable However, there were difficulties with the managing of the in-built thermostats. Issues were also flagged concerning the flexibility of its direction, and its overall aesthetics. To answer these problems, BN Thermic came up with the following solutions: A built-in control thermostat. The control system now allows a number of heaters to be controlled from a single point. A redesigned bracket which can discharge heat from a wider variety of angles. A sleek new design, as appearance is important - even in a warehouse setting. The changes made proved that even a tough industrial heater can look stylish. BN Thermic are among the most renowned manufacturers working with warehouses As discussed before, BN Thermic had to be called into Quaife’s Engineering HQ to fix a shoddy job done by another heating manufacturer. Contrast this with the warehouse owners who had the OUH3 system in place. They saw there were faults in the system but knew that BN Thermic could pull their weight and fix them; this is the level of respect they have in the industry. If you are the owner of a warehouse or large industrial premises, learn from these case studies discussed here. BN Thermic is at the top of their game when it comes to large-scale heating projects of this nature.

A major requirement for all high street shops is that they should have reliable heating systems - and warm air curtains help with this. This will maintain a comfortable working environment for the staff and will provide a warm welcome for customers. Occasionally, there is also a need to protect stock against the negative effect of cold temperatures. For instance in a supermarket it is imperative that certain areas of the store remain at the correct temperature so the food doesn’t spoil. In the cases of shops and small rooms, wall and floor space are at a premium - meaning it is always in use. So the preferred location for heaters is wall-mounted at a high level or on the ceiling. BN Thermic has been providing quality overhead heating for decades now to a wide variety of property types. In this article, Sparks will look at the best options for small shops and showrooms when it comes to heating their premises. Why overhead heaters are the perfect solution for commercial premises High level, wall-mounted heaters are commonly used for space heating in many smaller shops. However, in order to allow for the free use of wall space and to provide improved heat distribution, larger shops will require ceiling-mounted heaters. In venues or shops where a suspended ceiling has been installed, a range BN Thermic heaters are available to fit directly into a 600mm x 600mm grid pattern. These heaters provide a pleasant welcome to customers and a concentrated boost to the air temperature. This offsets the heat loss associated with ‘open door’ policies for stores. Sparks sell a range of BN Thermic overhead heaters, which would be a smart purchase for shop owners or showroom managers. The 4.5kW ‘Egg Crate’ overhead heater will prove to be an excellent addition to any commercial property. Your customers will be delighted as they stroll under its comfortable heat output and warm airflow. Air curtains: an overhead heating solution for all seasons Air curtains are an overhead heating option that will satisfy the needs of shop or showroom owners. They are mounted above doorways and produce a high-velocity air stream that creates an ‘invisible barrier’ between indoor and outdoor climates. Air curtains will help reduce heating costs in winter and air conditioning costs in summer, without reducing foot traffic. In cooler conditions, the ‘chill factor’ linked with high-velocity air streams can be troublesome and uncomfortable for customers. Air curtains negate the chill factor with electric heating elements which warm the airstream and contribute to a building’s heating requirements. Air curtains also have a health benefit, as they reduce the ingress of pollutants and insects. Sparks have some of BN Thermic's excellent warm air curtains in stock. They come in 9kW and 18kW versions, depending on the velocity stream you find most convenient and the size of the door entry (single or double). Advantages of overhead heating in Retail and Shops Overhead heaters are perfect for the retail industry, as they provide both cold and warm air to comfort your customers and employees. Overhead heaters have the following advantages for your business or showroom: They put less of a burden on any existing heating systems. This results in less usage, and the improved lifespan and functionality of your current heating system. They reduce building running costs. Traditional heating systems in commercial units can be inefficient - this is especially true in large premises. Commercial air curtains can keep harmful pollution, chemicals and smells away from your customers, staff and valuable products. Using less energy to heat your building will reduce the amount of CO2 emissions produced. They increase visibility for customer safety. A closed or obstructed glass door can pose a hazard to staff and customers. This could result in expensive equipment being damaged or customer lawsuits. They increase customer comfort. Keeping customers happy is important to all businesses. Cold premises keep customers away and may affect the productivity of your staff. An air curtain will help create a friendly atmosphere and will attract the public - it could also keep them inside for longer. Access for the disabled and trolleys. Disabled people and/or customers with trolleys can find opening and closing doors difficult. Commercial air curtains provide great accessibility for members of the public with their open door capabilities. Overhead heating: the perfect heating solution for your commercial property Overhead heaters and commercial properties make for a perfect combination. They provide all kinds of advantages as outlined above, and you will be happy to know we sell a variety of them here at Sparks. Their adaptability to the outdoor environment and subsequent savings would satisfy the needs of any shop owner or showroom manager. Using a steady stream of air to form a protective barrier, air curtains block out cold weather, pollution, bad smells and insects. This leaves you with a warm and pleasant environment inside.

Only the occupied pews need to be heated, and this can be easily done. What Pew Heaters do you need for the Church Building?When addressing the problem of heating in a church building, a mosque, a synagogue, or any place of worship that requires heating, one must first do some measurements to make sure he orders the right items in the right quantity. BN Thermic provides a simple 3-step guide to measure the pews to make sure you order the right pew heaters. Measure the pews. In order to directly heat the pew occupants, you need to measure the pews. The rule of thumb is that the greater the percentage of the pew that is heated, the more effective the system will be. You need to measure the distance between the support beams of the pews. If there are no support beams, simply measure the total length of the pew. Record your measurements. You must measure each pew individually because, over time, some of the pews may have been refurbished or damaged, which can affect the distance between the support beams. After measuring the pews, please write down the measurements: from front to back, pew number, and full dimensions. Submit the measurements. Once the measurements are done and recorded, you can submit them via email to SparksDirect.co.uk and we will contact the specialists at BN Thermic to advise on what is the heating scheme they propose. For any further information on how to do all this, do not hesitate to contact us. How Does the Pew Heating Work?The Pew Heaters we have on our website are designed to provide direct heating to the pew occupants, and they can be switched ON or OFF as needed. The greater the percentage of the pew length that is heated, the more effective the system is. In general, the pew heaters are mounted to the pew's backboard right below the seat. And if there is no backboard available, no problem: you can order the PHF floor bracket or you can fix it to the underside of the pew seat using the PHB suspension brackets. There are three main pew heaters available, based on the length of the pew or the space between the pew beams:BN Thermic PH30 Pew Heater - when the space between the seat supports or pew is 500mm to 750mmBN Thermic PH45 Pew Heater - when the space between the seat supports or pew is 751mm to 100mmBN Thermic PH65 Pew Heater - when the space between the seat supports or pew is 1000mm to 1500mmIf the space between the seat supports exceeds 1.5m, you can use a combination of pew heaters to make it up. The pew heaters can be easily fitted to the backboards with no additional brackets. The brown finish of the pew heaters is unobtrusive, making them virtually unnoticed in the church. Where can you buy Church Pew Heaters?Check out the Pew Heaters - low-level heating for churches - via Sparks.Buy Pew Heaters at SparksAnd if you need any help with the design of the heating in the church building, BN Thermic offers a free design service and free site visits nationwide!
