Herschel Advantage IR2 Workspace Heater

The Herschel Advantage IR 2 consists of 2 high-emission ceramic heating elements mounted in a directional, reflective unit. It is designed to gently warm people indoors using infrared radiated heat. Infrared heat is emitted from the hot surface of the ceramic heaters and warms the body directly without heating the air in between. As the energy produced is all in the low medium to far infrared region (not visible), there is no light emitted from the heater, but elements can produce a very faint orange glow.

Functional benefits

The Herschel Advantage IR heater is an ideal workspace heater for industrial and workshop applications.

This wall-mounted unit is designed for spaces with walls giving adequate clearance from the ground (2.3 – 2.5m) and from the ceiling above (minimum 0.3m). Consideration should be given to any temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms, and the height should be adjusted accordingly. The Herschel Advantage IR2 should be firmly and permanently attached to the wall. With power output of 1300 watts, these low watt-density heaters are optimised to provide far greater levels of comfort than hot air or gas-burning “space ray” type heating systems or other forms of electric heating often used in these environments. As soon as the heater is switched on the ceramic elements start to warm up and full operating temperature is achieved in less than 10 minutes.

Additional benefits:

• As there are no exhaust emissions there is no requirement for planning
• They operate silently and without fumes – consequently raising no health and safety issues
• Installation is much cheaper than oil or gas alternatives – all you require is electric cable
• Maintenance free
• You are able to focus the heat exactly to where you want it ensuring heat is not wasted
• Far Infrared has been shown to have positive effects on the metabolism, being the waveband at which water (80% constituent of skin) most effectively absorbs heat.

Space heating can be used anywhere there is a requirement to heat a large volume and where the heaters themselves can be placed well out of reach. So, workplaces like workshops, industrial or commercial units, warehouses etc. make ideal locations.
