Optimising Industrial Heating Efficiency: Introducing NANO-HEAT Infrared Technology by Teesside's X-Heat

At a time of rapidly rising energy prices, it’s vital that businesses find cost-effective solutions to heating their buildings.

That’s especially true in the case of industrial workspaces that are difficult to heat efficiently and effectively.

So it’s a good job innovative Teesside-based firm X-Heat has developed a radical – and very timely – solution called NANO-HEAT infrared space heating technology.

Company director Tom McGee points out that his product is far less harmful to the environment when compared with a traditional workspace heating system. And, as an additional bonus, it is significantly cheaper to run. It’s clearly a win-win solution.

“NANO-HEAT is all about reducing carbon emissions and reducing energy costs for businesses that have space heating requirements,” explains Tom.

“The aftermath of the pandemic has seen many businesses looking for ways to reduce operational costs. X-Heat offers organisations significant reductions in heating costs with flexible purchasing options.

“Replacing existing hot air and radiant tube heaters with X-Heat’s infrared system will provide customers with a benefit of a 50 per cent reduction in energy usage and an 80 per cent reduction in greenhouse emissions.

“In addition to the cost and emissions benefits, X-Heat’s technology comes hydrogen-ready, thereby future-proofing the customer from further costly investment.

“No mechanical retrofits are required to accommodate the switch to cleaner hydrogen, eliminating disruption for the customer later down the road when it’s time to switch.

“We hope to reach out to many more regional businesses in the coming months to provide them with cheaper, greener and safer working environments.”

Industrial workspaces don’t always require the same level of heating across their entire floor space.

Some zones are unoccupied, others are near open loading bay doors and others can be adjacent to heat-producing machinery. It’s rarely a case of one-size-fits-all when it comes to heating a large space.

An advantage of X-Heat is the infrared heaters can be placed where they are needed. And, thanks to the technology, they are far more efficient at heating the designated space because more of the heat gets to where it’s required.

“A small industrial unit or a large manufacturing plant would typically be heated by hot air blowers or radiant heaters,” says Tom. “What NANO-HEAT does is replace those appliances with zonal heaters.

“If you look at the floorplan of a lot of factories, they don’t need to heat every single square metre of the factory. They may have welding bays, assembly areas or a goods-in area.

“With a traditional heating system you get a lot of heat loss – a lot of the heat ends up in the roof, not where you want it. So, for the amount of fuel you burn, you only get a relatively small amount of heat directed back out into the workspace at floor level where it’s needed.

“Our product is focused on heating each space with zonal heating. NANO-HEAT uses a tried and tested flameless infrared technology that is relatively unheard of in the heating industry but has been around for a long time. We’re bringing it to a different application to provide low-cost clean thermal comfort.

“It is gas-powered but it is completely flameless and the advantage of it being flameless means it doesn’t produce nitrous oxide, which is extremely harmful to the environment.

“X-Heat offers a product that can significantly reduce energy consumption – and with the price of energy going through the roof, it’s a no-brainer!”

All of the firm’s infrared heaters are produced to provide safe flameless heat and are tested for performance before being dispatched.
