5 Factors to Consider When Renting a Temporary Industrial Heater
When the weather turns cold, and heating is required in spaces with strict safety standards, portable industrial flameless heaters become essential. Whether on a construction site, managing a warehouse, or working in a remote location, these heaters provide a reliable and safe source of warmth.
Here are five key factors to consider when renting temporary industrial heaters to ensure efficiency, reliability, and safety:
Factor #1: Heating Capacity and Space Size
Start by assessing your work area. One of the most critical factors is the size of the space you need to heat. The heating capacity of flameless heaters is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units). Larger areas require heaters with higher BTU ratings to ensure even and adequate heating. However, larger spaces don’t always require multiple heaters if you choose a high-output, efficient model. At Cahill Heating Rentals, we offer a range of heaters to fit any industrial project.
Match the Heater to the Environment
Is your project in an open construction site or a confined indoor space? Selecting a heater that provides adequate heat without compromising safety is crucial for enclosed areas. While many flameless heaters can handle diverse settings, choosing the correct capacity ensures optimal performance. When in doubt, consult our team to help determine the right temporary industrial heater based on your space’s size, insulation, and ventilation.
Factor #2: Fuel Type and Efficiency
Flameless heaters typically run on diesel, propane, or natural gas. Each fuel type has pros and cons. Diesel heaters, for example, are highly efficient and offer long operating times, ideal for remote locations. Propane and natural gas heaters are better suited for areas where these fuels are more readily available.
The Importance of Energy-Efficiency
Fuel-efficient heaters can save you money and reduce project downtime. Energy-efficient models use less fuel, meaning fewer refueling breaks, particularly during extended use. We recommend heaters with variable heat output settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to the environment’s specific needs, like our CH15MS heater.
Ask us about the fuel consumption rates for any of our heaters, and we will advise you on the amount of fuel required for your project.
Factor #3: Safety Features
The main advantage of flameless heaters is their safety in environments where open flames are hazardous. Still, it’s essential to evaluate each heater’s safety features. Look for models with built-in safety mechanisms, such as automatic shut-off for overheating, low fuel levels, and leak-proof designs.
Rated for Hazardous Areas
If your project involves combustible materials or poor ventilation, ensure the heater is rated for hazardous environments. Many flameless heaters are designed to operate safely where traditional heaters would pose risks.
Factor #4: Purpose and Setup Requirements
Different heaters are better suited to various tasks. For example, the heater you would use for ground thawing differs from the one needed to prevent pipes from freezing. We offer heaters for various industrial applications, so let us know your requirements and we will find the right equipment for you.
Setup and Installation
Since you’re renting a portable heater, consider its mobility. Factors like size, weight, and features like wheels or handles make transportation easier. Some heaters are simple to set up, while others might require more complex installation. We offer delivery, setup, and in-field maintenance support to ensure your heaters are properly installed and running efficiently.
