FAQ
Answers to the most searched questions about our natural gas radiant heaters, tube radiant systems and hot-air generators.
Natural gas radiant heating — general
What is a radiant heater and how does it work?
A radiant heater uses infrared radiation from gas combustion to heat floors, equipment and people directly. It is more efficient than convection in high-ceiling factories, warehouses and hangars.
Natural gas vs electric heating in industry?
For large spaces, Bentotherm natural-gas ceramic radiant, tube radiant and BTS hot-air systems typically offer lower running costs and faster heat-up than most electric alternatives.
Can radiant heating save 30–50% energy?
With correct zoning and design, yes. Radiant systems focus heat at working height instead of heating the entire volume. Site survey defines expected savings.
BT Series — ceramic radiant
What is a ceramic radiant heater?
Ceramic radiant heaters emit infrared from heated ceramic surfaces. Bentotherm BT Series suits cafés, restaurant terraces, showrooms and medium industrial areas.
Which heater for outdoor terraces?
BT Series for efficient radiant warmth; BTC Glass Series where a premium glazed look is required. Both run on natural gas.
BTS — hot-air generator
What is a hot-air generator?
A hot-air generator burns natural gas to heat air and distributes it with a fan. Bentotherm BTS models suit warehouses, factories, greenhouses and sports halls needing even air temperature.
BTS or radiant for a factory?
Choose BTS for fast, even air heating; choose BT INDUST, SQ INDUST or tube radiant for quiet, dust-free zone heating at floor level. Hybrid designs are common.
BTU & BTI — tube radiant
What is tube radiant heating?
Tube radiant systems use long gas-fired tubes mounted on the ceiling for even heat over large areas. Bentotherm BTU (U-type) and BTI (I-type) serve factories, hangars and sports halls.
U-type vs I-type tube radiant?
BTU U-type suits long straight runs; BTI I-type suits segmented layouts. Engineering defines tube length and count.
