Energy waste from traditional heating systems in industrial facilities negatively impacts both the costs and environmental performance of businesses. This is because 20 percent of total energy consumption is spent heating production areas. This makes the losses caused by inefficient systems even more critical.
Çukurova Heat Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü stated that industrial facilities reviewing their existing heating infrastructure and transitioning to more efficient technologies will provide short-term cost advantages and long-term sustainability benefits. Ünlü emphasized that choosing the right system can save 30 to 50 percent on heating costs.
In this period of rapidly rising energy prices, the correct selection of heating systems in industrial facilities is critical to industrialists’ competitiveness and sustainability. A significant portion of energy consumption in industry is spent heating production areas. In some facilities, this figure can reach up to 20 percent of total energy consumption.
Field data shows that a significant portion of industrial facilities still rely on traditional, energy-intensive heating methods. This not only increases operating costs but also increases carbon emissions, making it harder for them to meet their environmental sustainability goals.
Making a statement on the subject, Çukurova Heating Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü highlighted the advantages that can be achieved in industrial facilities with the right system selection:
Traditional Heating Systems Cause Energy Loss
Traditional boiler systems or central heating solutions not only result in high initial investment costs but also increase operating costs due to their inefficient operating principles. This complicates the effective management of energy in industrial facilities and hinders their achievement of sustainability goals. Therefore, industrial facilities need to review their heating infrastructure and replace existing systems with more efficient alternatives. Choosing the right system not only reduces energy bills but also supports sustainable production processes.
Choosing the Right System is Essential for Savings of Up to 50 Percent
With advancements in technology, electric heaters and radiant heating systems are emerging as more cost-effective, flexible, and energy-efficient alternatives for industrial facilities. Offering both localized and spot heating capabilities, electric and radiant heaters do not heat the entire factory as traditional systems do, but rather only heat objects and people in the work area. This prevents unnecessary energy consumption.
Electric or radiant heaters, which are 30 to 50 percent more economical in heating compared to central hot air blowing systems, which we call traditional systems, reduce the operating costs of industrial facilities and contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions.
“As Çukurova Isı, we optimize the heating energy consumption of industrial facilities, increase operational efficiency, and contribute to sustainability goals with our high-tech Goldsun CPH ceramic plate radiant heaters, Silversun Pro – Evo Tubular Radiant Heaters, and Goldsun Vega series electric heaters.”
Osman Ünlü also shared the following information about the transition from traditional heating systems to radiant or electric heaters in industrial facilities:
The installation process is quick and easy, without interruption of business operations.
He concluded by saying, “The renovation process, switching from traditional heating systems to electric or radiant heating systems, is quite easy and practical. Installation is completed in a short time, such as a week or 10 days. The system installation process does not interfere with the business’s ability to continue operations. Furthermore, the installation work does not affect the business’s comfort.”
