El-Björn TF18 18kW Electric Commercial Heater
Engineered for Industrial Demand
With over 60 years of experience in harsh Nordic environments, the El-Björn TF18 is designed to deliver up to 18kW of thermal output. Built to withstand the loss of heat when loading bay doors are opened, the TF18 uses a powerful fan system that rapidly restores the temperature.
Technical Performance & Airflow Dynamics
Temperature is critical for both worker safety and material integrity (such as drying screed or stock sensitive to temperature). In a 400m³ space and with an airflow capacity of 2,200 m³/h, the TF18 can cycle the air nearly six times per hour. It can raise the temperature rapidly and is suitable for extended use.
Deployment & Industry Applications
Our technical team recommends the TF18 for:
- Construction & Drying: Speed up the drying process for plaster and screed.
- Warehousing: Maintain an ambient temperature in places with high ceilings.
- Public events: Provide heat for marquees and halls.
- Emergency Facilities Management: A reliable backup for when your HVAC system breaks down.
Versatile Air Distribution Patterns
TF18 offers two methods of heat distribution:
- 360° Diffusion: To provide a radial heat pattern and eliminate hot zones. This ensures an even temperature across your space.
- Directional Ducting: The TF18 supports ducting to allow you to deliver heat to specific areas.
Industrial Build Quality & Safety Compliance
Backed by El-Björn’s reputation for trustworthiness, the TF18’s chassis is treated with a powder coating to help prevent rust in damp conditions. It’s IP44 compliant and features an integrated thermal cut-out to protect from electrical hazards.
Selecting Your Variant: TF18 E vs. TF18 S
Choosing the correct variant is essential for safety and energy efficiency.
| Feature | TF18 E (Industrial) | TF18 S (Public Access) |
|---|
| Control Logic | Manual/Adjustable | Preset/Tamper-proof |
|---|
| Best For | Sites, Workshops, Drying | Retail, Schools, Events |
|---|
| Thermostat | Mechanical Thermostat | Fixed Internal Preset |
|---|
| Safety Feature | Manual Reset | 2-Min Automatic Cooldown |
|---|
For public-facing environments, we recommend the TF18 S. Its simplified interface prevents unauthorised use from tampering with the set temperature, reducing waste and preventing overheating.
