Radiant diffusers, tubes, and strips: features and advantages for industrial heating systems
At SIABS, we understand how important it is to choose the right heating system to ensure thermal comfort, efficiency, and energy savings in industrial warehouses.
Every environment has its own specific requirements, which is why we offer a range of gas radiant heater configurations designed to adapt to any environment. In particular, we work with three main solutions: radiant diffusers, radiant tubes, and radiant strips.
Radiant diffusers are ideal for large spaces with high ceilings. Thanks to infrared technology, they transfer heat directly to surfaces and people, minimizing unnecessary heat loss into the air. This type of industrial heater is perfect for companies operating in large-volume or poorly insulated buildings, where traditional heating systems often prove inefficient. Radiant diffusers can provide up to 60% energy savings compared to convection-based systems while delivering immediate thermal comfort.
Radiant tubes, on the other hand, are a versatile solution for heating industrial areas with complex layouts. They are ideal for facilities divided into multiple work zones or areas requiring precise temperature control. Designed to distribute heat evenly and precisely, SIABS radiant tubes can be customized in both length and heat output, adapting perfectly to each workspace while optimizing energy consumption and maintaining ideal microclimatic conditions throughout the production area.
Radiant strips are particularly suitable for linear spaces or specific routes such as warehouses, workshops, or production corridors. With a compact design and focused power delivery, these systems provide targeted, consistent heating, reducing preheating times and significantly lowering operating costs.
All our radiant heating configurations, which can combine diffusers, tubes, and strips in customized layouts, are engineered to guarantee efficiency, safety, and energy savings. We know that every industrial warehouse is unique in terms of size, structure, and requirements, which is why we work closely with our customers to always offer customized solutions.
How to choose the ideal radiant heating system for industrial spaces
Selecting the right radiant heating system is essential for optimizing temperature control in your warehouses, factories, or production areas — ensuring maximum thermal comfort and high energy efficiency. As mentioned earlier, SIABS designs customized heating systems that can freely integrate three main products — radiant diffusers, radiant tubes, and radiant strips — to perfectly match each client’s needs. Here’s how we guide our customers in making the best choice.
First, it’s essential to evaluate the structural characteristics of the space to be heated: size, ceiling height, and insulation level are key parameters in determining the most suitable system.
For example, in a warehouse with very high ceilings and poor insulation, radiant diffusers are especially effective because they transfer heat directly to solid bodies without heat dispersion in the surrounding air.
Another key factor is, of course, the available budget.
Our radiant systems are designed to deliver low long-term operating costs, but different configurations can be selected depending on the company’s initial resources and energy-saving goals.
To summarize, here are the main criteria for choosing among radiant diffusers, tubes, or strips:
- Radiant diffusers: Ideal for large, open spaces such as warehouses or production areas with high ceilings.
- Radiant tubes: Perfect for facilities divided into distinct zones or with complex layouts that require targeted heating.
- Radiant strips: Best suited for linear or corridor-like spaces needing continuous, uniform heat distribution.
In some cases, the combination of multiple radiant systems can be the most effective choice. For instance, using diffusers for large central areas and tubes or strips for specific operational zones ensures an efficient, flexible, and fully customized heating solution for any industrial environment.
Innovation and advanced applications in industrial radiant heating
At SIABS, we believe that innovation and technology are key to offering increasingly efficient and sustainable industrial heating solutions.
Our gas radiant systems integrate state-of-the-art technologies to adapt to any setting, guaranteeing top performance and a reduced environmental footprint.
