The increasing energy costs as a result of the global energy crisis have increased the interest of industrialists in solar power plants (SPP). The second issue that industrialists, who install SPPs on the roofs of their factories for self-consumption purposes, address after the SPP investment is heating systems. Because nearly 50 percent of the energy consumed in industry in Turkey is consumed by inefficient heating and cooling systems. In addition, according to Article 5 of the EPDK Board numbered 11098, the obligation to provide surplus electricity produced by SPP to Yekdem as a free contribution also plays an important role in the renovation of heating systems. Investors evaluate surplus energy in heating systems. The preference of businesses and industrial facilities in heating systems is electric heaters that provide efficient, fast and comfortable heating.
“Businesses have turned to electric heaters that offer high efficiency and comfort in heating. The electric heater market has grown by 30 percent in the last two years,” said Çukurova Heat Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, drawing attention to the efficiency and comfort criteria in choosing electric heaters so that business owners can get the maximum benefit from their investments.
Businesses are implementing very different measures due to the energy crisis experienced worldwide. GES investments and renovation of heating systems are at the top of the list of measures implemented.
GESs increased the demand for electric heaters
“Businesses have turned to electric heaters that offer high efficiency and comfort in heating. The electric heater market has grown by 30 percent in the last two years,” said Çukurova Heat Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, indicating that GES applications that have recently become widespread in factories have also increased the demand for electric heaters. Osman Ünlü drew attention to the efficiency and comfort criteria in equipment selection so that operators and industrialists can get maximum benefit from their investments:
“Due to the rapidly increasing electricity costs in recent years, industrialists have started to install solar power plants on the roofs of their factories. According to the statement made by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), since November 19, 2022, applications for solar power plants have reached 2.5 times the current installed power. The second issue that industrialists address after solar power plant investments is heating systems. Because nearly 50 percent of the energy consumed in industry in Turkey is consumed by inefficient heating and cooling systems. In addition, according to Article 5 of the EPDK Board numbered 11098, the obligation to provide surplus electricity produced by solar power plants to Yekdem as a free contribution also plays an important role in the renovation of heating systems. Investors evaluate surplus energy in heating systems. The preference of enterprises and industrial facilities in heating systems is electric heaters that provide efficient, fast and comfortable heating.
As Çukurova Isı, we continue to lead the heating market with our world-class electric heating technologies. As a result of our R&D studies, we maximize efficiency in heating with the unique reflector design and special case manufacturing of our electric, or infrared, heating technologies, while minimizing energy consumption. Thanks to the special reflector in our Goldsun electric heaters, all of the rays coming out of the bulb are reflected to objects, increasing heating efficiency by up to 28 percent.
40 percent more efficient
When it comes to efficiency in electric heaters, the first criterion to be considered should be the ‘halogen lamp’. A heater with a halogen lamp is 40 percent more efficient than standard resistance electrical devices. As Çukurova Isı, we provide 40 percent more efficiency in heating with the high-density halogen bulb in our Goldsun electric heaters. Because the halogen bulb, which converts 99 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into heat, provides instant and effective heating.
Wrong discovery and project planning also increase costs
Drawing attention to the fact that other criteria are as important as right product selection, Osman Ünlü stated that wrong discovery and project planning will both increase the costs of the business and will not provide comfort conditions. Çukurova Isı supports its customers in making the right system selection with its free discovery and project planning services offered with its strong engineering infrastructure as well as advanced heating technologies.
