Aircraft Hangar Heaters

Reliable Aircraft Hangar Heaters For Large Storage Spaces

Maintaining a stable, comfortable temperature inside an aircraft hangar is essential for protecting valuable assets and equipment, supporting maintenance operations and creating a safe, productive environment for personnel. At National Heater Shops, our range of aircraft hangar heaters is designed specifically for demanding commercial and industrial applications.

In Hangars, roof heights can also vary from 10m to 30m - plus, the main doors can be virtually as tall as the roof. Heat loss can be exacerbated by the fact that they are also often sited in extremely exposed locations. Nevertheless, there is still a need to sustain a comfortable environment for personnel and provide rapid recovery to full operating temperatures once the doors have been closed. At National Heater Shops, we provide scalable heating solutions capable of warming aircraft hangars effectively.

Industrial Heating Designed For Large Spaces

Due to their size, equipment stored and operational requirements - aircraft hangars present unique heating challenges. In order to deliver warmth effectively, efficiently and safely, an industrial sized hangar heater provides consistent warmth.

There are a variety of types of heater that can operate inside an aircraft hangar.

Direct Oil Fired Heaters

Direct oil fired heaters, also known as direct space heaters, are large industrial space heaters that pass air over an open flame to generate heat. As a result, they produce fumes as a byproduct and should only be used in large, well-ventilated areas. The Master B230 Direct Oil Fired Space Heater - 240v is capable of heating large spaces.

Diesel Infrared Heaters

Our selection of diesel infrared heaters help to warm objects and people as opposed to the air surrounding them. As a result, they are ideal for spot heating and are a scalable solution. The Airrex AH-300i Diesel-Fuelled Infrared Heater - 230v is a large diesel infrared heater, capable of 51,000 BTU/hr Infrared heat output.

Electric Fan Heaters

Electric fan heaters assist in moving warm air around a location. These industrial heaters are capable of heating and dispelling vast amounts of air. Many units, such as the Thermobile CH 18 Industrial Electric Fan Heater - 3 Phase are also portable, making them perfect for both short term and long term use.

Hangar Heater FAQs

What is the best type of aircraft hangar heater?

The best aircraft hangar heater depends on the size of the facility, insulation levels, operational requirements and available fuel. Commonly used options include direct fired heaters, radiant heaters and electric fan heaters.

Are industrial hangar heaters energy efficient?

Modern HVAC systems and units are designed with efficiency in mind. This means that there is increased fuel efficiency, lower emissions and better heat distribution in comparison to older heating equipment.
