Infrared oil fired heaters

Heating without warming the air, infrared heaters are ideal for drying plaster walls and paints as well as outside or dusty areas. As objects or walls are penetrated with heat, they can also reradiate and heat other things, providing an extremely efficient method of heating.

Why choose infrared oil-fired heaters?

An oil-fired infrared heater is a system that produces a unique type of heat energy, called infrared radiant heat, to warm people and objects indoors and out. Much like the sun’s warmth, this form of heating does not warm the air itself.

To generate this type of heat, fuel is burned to create a flame, which then heats a radiant panel. As this component reaches high temperatures, thermal radiation is emitted, producing a direct source of heat.

Because combustion is harnessed in this process, these units must be used outdoors or in populated interiors with sufficient ventilation. However, while additional safety measures must be taken, fixed and portable infrared heaters are ideal for commercial applications because:

  • Their exceptional heating power can quickly warm large spaces inside and out
  • Infrared heating systems evenly warm specific areas and zones
  • They can be positioned flexibly due to their light construction and high mobility
  • Radiant heat cannot be diminished by draughts from open windows and doors
  • No air movement allows heat to be delivered effectively, efficiently and precisely

Due to the advantages that industrial infrared heating technology can bring, these space heaters can be used to provide a reliable and energy-efficient source of warmth in:

  • Large and draughty spaces, such as warehouses and factories
  • Poorly insulated areas, like barns and other agricultural structures
  • Rugged and semi-enclosed workspaces, such as construction sites

Oil-fired infrared heaters carry out numerous roles across a variety of sectors. As a result, determining the cost of operation will depend on several factors, such as the cost of fuel, the size, orientation and position of a unit, as well as the job it is carrying out.

To minimise expenditure as much as possible, it is important to choose an industrial infrared heater from a trusted manufacturer.

We combine our decades of expertise with quality components, efficient designs and a focus on sustainability and reliability to help businesses all over the world minimise heating costs and maximise comfort and safety.

Infrared oil-fired heaters: Frequently Asked Questions

What is an infrared oil-fired heater?

Infrared oil-fired heaters are mobile units that use combustible fuels to generate radiant heat – a unique type of warming that acts in a similar way to the sun, heating people, surfaces and objects directly, instead of the air around them.

How does an infrared oil-fired heater work?

To generate radiant heat, various types of fuels are burnt to heat a shield. As the temperature of this panel climbs, the heat the system emits increases.

What are the advantages of using an infrared oil-fired heater?

By leveraging the power of combustion alongside the versatility of radiant heat, infrared oil-fired heaters are the go-to unit for many commercial applications because:

  • They can deliver their vast heating power quickly to warm spaces or dry materials, all without an electrical outlet
  • These types of systems heat objects directly, not the atmosphere around them, keeping energy consumption low and economy high
  • Infrared heating systems evenly warm targets, able to deliver their energy to precise areas and zones
  • They are very light and highly mobile, allowing them to be positioned wherever they are needed
  • Radiant heat cannot be affected by draughts and generates no air flow itself – ideal for busy or dusty environments
  • They are designed with simplicity in mind, requiring minimal maintenance throughout the course of their lifetime

What are some common applications of infrared oil-fired heaters?

Infrared oil heaters are used in a broad range of applications. Some of these include:

  • Keeping critical equipment frost-free on construction sites
  • Drying wet paint or plaster during building work
  • Controlling temperatures in work areas throughout a warehouse
  • Warming livestock on farms
  • Creating a safe environment for refugees during humanitarian crises

Are there any safety concerns when using an infrared oil-fired heater?

To protect the health of teams on the ground, it is important that oil-fired infrared heaters are operated in environments with sufficient ventilation, as they emit noxious air pollutants. Users should also:

  • Position systems at a safe distance from people and flammable materials
  • Keep technology away from water, such as showers and bathtubs
  • Tuck cables away during operation
  • Secure the unit on even ground when running

To take workplace safety to the next level, our professional lineup of oil-fired infrared heaters has been engineered to include state-of-the-art safety features, such as overheat protection and anti-tilt switches.

Can infrared oil-fired heaters be used indoors?

Yes, so long as they are used in spaces that have sufficient ventilation. This is important as infrared oil-fired heaters rely on combustible fuels, meaning they emit a small quantity of air pollutants when running.

How do I maintain my infrared oil-fired heater?

Although infrared oil-fired heaters are simple and effective machines, they still require maintenance to maximise their efficiency and preserve their condition. As a result, it is important to:

  • Empty and rinse fuel tanks with clean fuel regularly
  • Clean or replace nozzles when required
  • Routinely wipe down fan blades

Can I buy your infrared oil-fired heaters online?

For all of our infrared oil-fired heaters, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting their enquiry and contact details.

However, you cannot carry out the entire purchasing process on our website. This is because due to the solution you wish to purchase and your area of residence, you may or may not need to buy through a local Dantherm Group representative. We will facilitate this when you use the 'I want to buy' button for the infrared oil-fired heater of your choice.

Can I bulk buy infrared oil-fired heaters for a large project?

Yes, we can fulfil bulk orders across our range of infrared oil-fired heaters for large, bespoke projects. Get in contact with our experts or go direct to your local Dantherm Group representative to discuss the exact needs of your project and how we can meet your requirements.
