SystemX Ceiling Fan Heaters Installed at the Rural Auction Centre in Milnthorpe, Cumbria Cumbria

The Project
Sandwiched between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, the Rural Auction Centre could not be in a nicer location. However, when a BN Thermic engineer arrived on site in November, the wind was howling, the temperature was sub-zero and the need for an efficient heating system was self-evident!
At 152mm, our suface mount fan heaters are very low profile and unobtrusive
The building in question was generally used to exhibit antiques and collectibles but at a moment’s notice may be required for a social event such as a champagne reception. It was therefore vital that the proposed heating system did not interfere with the positioning of tables, display cabinets or other fixtures.
Get the heaters up out the way
The solution was to use ceiling fan heaters. BN Thermic ceiling mounted fan heaters are only 152mm deep making them barely noticeable in a commercial building. A total of seven 6kW heaters were proposed from BN Thermic’s well-known System X range. The big advantage of System X is that all control connections are made using Cat5 cable. The result is super-fast installation time and zero connection errors. The proposed controller provided adjustable thermostatic control and a ’fan only’ setting for improved air circulation in summer.
BN Thermic fan heaters are all hand assembled in the UK
Radiant cassettes can be easily suspended from chains, surface mounted or wall mounted using additional brackets
It’s all about service
We specified our longwave radiant cassettes, suspended from support beams as per the drawing above. Longwave radiant cassettes provide comfort heat with no noise, light or draught output. These features make the units ideal for this application as they can be mounted high out of the way and will not distract the students. The added advantage of suspending heaters is that they free up wall and floor space.
Another huge advantage of longwave radiant cassettes is their economy. The cassettes’ gentle radiant effect means an ‘experienced temperature’ can be up to 4°C warmer than the actual air temperature. This means a thermostat can be set up to 4°C lower which equates to a huge saving across a winter.
