Selection Criteria for Cafe and Restaurant Open Area Heating Systems

It is possible to reduce operating costs and ensure comfort by paying attention to a few details in the outdoor heating systems of cafes and restaurants.

When making an exploration for outdoor heating systems, attention should be paid to the structure of the space, namely the height and insulation status, table layout, wind conditions of the space, and whether or not there is an awning or a fixed ceiling that can be opened and closed above the space. These details are important when preparing a project for outdoor heating systems of cafes and restaurants.

Outdoor heating systems are divided into 3 groups: tubular radiant heater, ceramic plate radiant heater and high density electric infrared heater. When choosing an outdoor heating system, care should be taken to ensure that the products have equipment suitable for long-term use in outdoor weather conditions. So, what are the hardware features that radiant heaters used in cafe and restaurant heating systems should have?

High-strength outer casing: Radiant heaters used in outdoor heating must have a high-strength outer casing in order to be unaffected by outdoor conditions and to be used efficiently for many years. For example, the outer casing of the Goldsun ceramic plate radiant heater is resistant to 600 degrees and is coated with electrostatic powder paint. The grills and heat shield on the front surface of the devices are coated with ceramic that is resistant to 1000 degrees, does not rust and does not flake.

Reflector: In order to provide sustainable comfort conditions in outdoor heating, it is very important to use reflectors in radiant heaters. Because the reflector directs the energy emitted from the radiant heater towards the customers in the space, not the air, providing high comfort.

Wind shield: Using a wind shield on radiant heaters slows down oncoming wind currents to a great extent and contributes to maintaining comfort conditions.

Electrode: Flame sensing electrodes located at both ends of the radiant heater maintain the comfort conditions in the environment by ensuring the continuation of combustion in windy environments.

These criteria to be considered when choosing a radiant heater for outdoor heating offer businesses the advantage of comfort, energy saving and long-term use.
