Commercial door heaters are special heating systems for loading docks, warehouses, car washes, construction sites, and other large commercial and industrial buildings.
They are typically used to heat large, high-traffic doors, such as hangar and garage doors, that are frequently opened and closed.
Commercial door heaters are crucial for maintaining comfort and efficiency in facilities with high-traffic entryways.
These robust units, built in the USA and backed by industry-leading warranties, combine powerful heating elements with high-velocity axial fans to effectively temper cold air rushing through large bay doors.
Commercial door heaters offer advanced features that benefit users in various ways:
Whether powered by electricity, gas, or propane, these versatile heaters are suitable for various applications, including loading docks and car washes.
They can be mounted vertically inside roll-top or straight-lift doors or at an angle facing overhead doors. Connected to a door switch, the heater can automatically turn on and direct warm air toward the floor area near the door opening.
Door heaters can be used anywhere, from loading docks in industrial factories to commercial buildings.
They are typically used to heat garages, paint booths, workshops, and other areas where large doors are frequently opened and closed.
They are often used in cold climates to keep frost or ice from building up on the outside of doors.
Sizing a heater for a shipment loading dock requires careful consideration of air infiltration through door gaps.
For instance, a single loading dock door with a 2-inch gap around a 10×10 foot truck can lead to heat loss of approximately 50,600 BTU per hour when maintaining a 40°F indoor temperature on a 0°F day.
This significant energy loss underscores the importance of proper heater sizing and door sealing.
