Comfort Zones

The comfort zone principle allows each animal to find its preferred temperature. Strong, healthy animals generate more body heat themselves and require less external heat. Weaker or younger animals can move closer to the heat sources. This way, each animal can decide for itself whether it needs more or less heat and position itself accordingly in the barn.

This reduces stress and promotes the natural behavior of the animals. At the same time, energy use is optimized, as heating only occurs where it is really needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

🔥 RADIAMON

Bright heaters are gas heating devices that are directly heated by an atmospheric burner. They are called "bright heaters" because the generation of infrared rays occurs through visible combustion. The perforated ceramic plates heat up to 950°C and emit infrared rays, which are directed downward into the occupancy area by reflectors.

Bright heaters work on the principle of radiant heat. They transfer heat directly to surfaces and objects instead of heating the air. This happens through:

  • Combustion of natural gas or liquid gas
  • Heating of ceramic plates to approx. 950°C
  • Radiation of infrared heat
  • Reflectors that direct radiation specifically downward

Warm air heating:

  • Heats the air
  • Creates heat pockets under the ceiling
  • Causes air turbulence and drafts
  • Long heating times
  • Higher energy consumption

Bright heaters:

  • Transfer heat directly to surfaces
  • Uniform temperature distribution
  • No air turbulence
  • Immediate heat (full power after 5 minutes)
  • 30-40% energy savings

No, bright heaters and dark heaters are two different infrared heating systems. Bright heaters work with open combustion and glowing ceramic plates that generate infrared radiation. Dark heaters, on the other hand, have closed combustion and do not emit visible brightness, but generate heat via heated pipes or sheets.

  • Energy savings: 30-40% compared to traditional heating systems
  • Air temperature: Can be lowered by 2-4°C (7% savings per degree)
  • Fast heating times: Full heating power after only 5 minutes
  • No heat pockets: Prevention of heat losses under the ceiling
  • Improved air quality: Less dust and allergen movement
  • Low maintenance: Simple construction without rotating parts
  • Quiet operation: Hardly any noise development
  • Flexible zoning: Targeted heating of individual areas possible

Energy savings typically amount to 30-40% compared to conventional warm air systems. This is achieved through:

  • Lowering air temperature by 2-4°C
  • Prevention of heat losses under the ceiling
  • Targeted heating only of required areas
  • Short heating times without warm-up phase

Bright heaters do not cause air turbulence like warm air systems, as no fans are used. This means less dust, allergens and pollutants are stirred up, leading to a more pleasant room climate – particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and in dust-sensitive areas.

Yes, radiant heat distributes very evenly as it acts specifically on floors, machines and people. No cold or heat pockets form under the ceiling. The temperature in the occupancy area is noticeably pleasant and stable – even with high ceilings.

Bright heaters are particularly suitable for large and high rooms:

  • Industry & Commerce: Workshops, production halls
  • Logistics: Warehouses, distribution centers, handling areas
  • Aviation: Aircraft hangars, terminals
  • Sports & Leisure: Sports halls, stadiums, indoor leisure centers
  • Retail: Large retail stores
  • Culture: Churches, museums, theaters, concert halls
  • Other: Trade fair and exhibition halls, studios

Bright heaters are particularly efficient in high halls as they radiate heat directly downward. They are optimally suited for:

  • Low halls from 3-4 meters height
  • Medium halls from 5-10 meters height
  • High halls over 10 meters (particularly efficient)
  • Extreme heights as in aircraft hangars

Bright heaters are ideal for workshops:

  • Targeted workplace heating
  • No drafts during precision work
  • Quick heat when needed
  • No dust stirring
  • Flexible adaptation during redesign

Bright heaters are primarily designed for indoor use, but can also be used in protected outdoor areas (e.g. covered loading zones, open warehouses). Important is protection from direct rain and wind, as these can impair heat delivery.
