Heating

Heating is a technique which consists in modifying the condition of the ambient air, there are several ways of heating, in particular heating premises, water, an uninhabited space, warehouses and sanitary spaces. Heating is mainly used to be more comfortable in order to improve the climatic condition of the space in question. The main objective of heating is to improve the comfort of the occupants.

It is very important to understand that to heat or change the climate of a space, it is necessary to consume energy. However, there are much more economical methods of heating than others. It largely depends on your budget and the possibilities for your space to be heated.

How is the air heated?

First, any heating system has a heat source and a heat emitter. The heat source is mostly hotter than the air in the space you want to heat, thereby heating it to the degree you want. The temperature difference between the heating source and the air you want to heat is called the DELTA T (temperature difference between a heat source and the air). The heat emitter is the material that allows the exchange of heat with air by convection, radiation and radiation. It transmits its energy to heat the air (convector, convectair, electric radiator, heated floor, electric furnace, air heater, fan coil, etc.) Energy can be transmitted by the following heat transfer fluids: Water, l forced air and other heat-carrying liquid substance.

What is the most economical heating?

Currently the most economical heating is heat pumps (heat pumps). This heating device consists in transferring the heat emitted by the compressor into a heating coil to extract this heat into the space you want to heat using liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant is a liquid that has characteristics of absorption of heat. Heat pump systems can be combined with other heating means as they are only effective up to about -15 degrees Celsius. Electric furnaces or convectors are also an excellent means of heating because the cost of electricity is much more stable than petroleum products such as fuel oil or natural gas.

What are the ecological effects of heating

Heating has a very important ecological effect on planet Earth, it constitutes around 20% of the reasons for global warming. Raw heating has no direct environmental impact, but greenhouse gases are the biggest problem. Wood heating is the main pollutant of the heating means used, it mainly emits toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, toxic or carcinogenic compounds such as “PAHs” (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Oil or gas heating is also a big environmental problem with these constant emissions which are caused by the combustion of pure gas.You should consider replacing oil systems as this is one of the main reasons for pollution.

Air quality during heating

It is very important to have good air quality during the heating season because all the windows of your house must be closed so as not to let fresh air inside so as not to increase your costs of heating. The most important thing to have good indoor air quality is to have a good air filtration system. If you have a furnace with an air duct system that blows air into your home, you have a furnace filter that filters the air before distributing it into your home. This filter is used in particular to filter the dust present in your house but also the fuels which are emitted by your heating devices like carbon monoxide which is very bad for health. You should not neglect the filters of your heating devices because they are the key to good indoor air quality. Also, to improve air quality, a humidifier and an air exchanger can greatly help. The air exchanger will constantly renew your supply of fresh air while the humidifier will regulate the humidity in your home.
