SCHWANK Luminous RADIANT HEATERS
Hall heating devices with infrared
We invented the luminous (plaque) heater and that’s our unique position in the HVAC sector. Schwank luminous heaters are used in industrial and commercial buildings, logistics facilities and workshops. The core component of our infrared gas heaters is the Schwank ceramic tile, invented by the company’s founder Günther Schwank. It is still manufactured by us in Germany.
The infrared energy is generated by the combustion of a gas-air mixture in the ceramic tile. The surface of the ceramic tile heats up to approximately 950 °C, glows “red hot” and emits infrared radiation. Reflectors direct the radiation downwards into the common area. Excellent performance and efficiency is achieved! Luminous heaters are also characterised by their especially clean combustion with extremely low NOx values. This is a feature that is becoming increasingly important.
