Industrial Space Heating
Industrial Space Heating Solutions
Electric ambient-air heating for industrial production workshops and storage areas, including appropriately classified hazardous environments.
XGTHERMAL’s BDRT convection-type heaters use natural air circulation to contribute to indoor temperature maintenance in petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical facilities.
The need
Why Industrial Spaces Require Dedicated Heating
Industrial rooms and storage areas may need ambient-air heating to maintain suitable indoor conditions. Where flammable gas, vapor or dust may be present, heating equipment must also match the operating environment.
Working Environment
Consider the enclosed space and its intended use.
Hazardous Atmosphere
Select equipment appropriate to the site’s gas, vapor or dust hazards.
Continuous Heating Duty
The BDRT heater is designed for long-term operation; suitability depends on the selected configuration and site conditions.
Typical applications
Where Industrial Space Heating Is Used
The verified applications include production workshops and storage areas in petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Petroleum Facilities
Ambient heating in production workshops and storage areas.
Chemical Facilities
Space heating for production workshops and storage areas, with equipment selected for the environment.
Pharmaceutical Facilities
Ambient-temperature maintenance in production workshops and storage areas.
How it works
Natural Convection: Heating Without Forced Air
Cooler air enters from the lower part of the BDRT heater, is heated as it passes through the heater, and rises through the upper outlet by natural convection.
Warm air rises through the upper outlet
Cooler air enters from below
Natural air movement
Heated air rises naturally, drawing cooler air into the lower inlet.
No forced-air circulation
The heating principle relies on natural convection rather than a fan.
Room-temperature distribution
Repeated circulation contributes to room heating and relatively even indoor temperatures.

Room-level circulation
Building a Natural Air-Circulation Loop
Warm air rising from the heater and cooler air returning toward its lower inlet promote a natural circulation loop. Repeated circulation contributes to room heating and more even ambient-temperature distribution.
- Warm air rises from the heater
- Air circulates through the room
- Cooler air returns toward the lower inlet
Hazardous environments
Space Heating in Hazardous Industrial Environments
Where flammable gases, oil vapor or dust may be present, electrical space-heating equipment requires additional consideration. Equipment must be selected according to the applicable site conditions and hazardous-area requirements.
Explosion-Protection Design
The BDRT product is intended for hazardous industrial environments, subject to appropriate selection.
No Open Flame
Electric heating provides heat without an open flame. This does not remove all ignition risks.
Site-Specific Suitability
The selected equipment configuration and certification must match the project requirements.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about ambient-air heating in enclosed industrial spaces.
What is a convection-type industrial space heater?
It is an electric heater that warms ambient air in an enclosed industrial space. The BDRT series uses natural convection for applications such as production workshops and storage areas. It is not a process-fluid heater.
How does natural convection heat an industrial room?
Cooler air enters the heater from below. As it warms, it rises through the upper outlet. Repeated air movement promotes room circulation and contributes to more even indoor temperature distribution; actual conditions depend on the room and its heat losses.
Does a natural-convection heater require forced-air circulation?
The BDRT operating principle relies on natural convection rather than fan-driven airflow. Heated air rises naturally and cooler air returns toward the lower inlet.
Can industrial space heaters be used in hazardous areas?
Appropriately selected equipment may be used where the configuration and certification match the applicable site and project requirements. Confirm the selected model’s documentation for the actual gas, vapor or dust environment; this page does not establish a specific certification.
How is the required space-heating capacity determined?
General assessment considers room size, building heat loss, required indoor and minimum ambient temperatures, ventilation or air exchange, and operating conditions. There is no single capacity or fixed area-based rule that applies to every industrial space.
What information is required to select an industrial space heater?
Provide room dimensions, construction information, required indoor and minimum ambient temperatures, available heat-loss data, hazardous-area requirements, power supply, proposed location and quantity. Include any required control interfaces so their availability can be confirmed for the selected configuration.
