Infrared heating for hospitals

The ideal heating solution for hospitals

Herschel infrared heating for hospitals is the perfect solution for hospital environments given the radiant properties of infrared. This ensures airflow is minimised and subsequently reduces the movement of dust and airborne properties. The Far Infrared waveband is frequently referred to as the “Vital” range because of its vital warming properties for comfort and can be seen in wide application within baby incubators as well as in the growing wellness industry.

Highly controllable, Herschel’s zero light panel heaters can be ceiling-mounted or suspended over hospital beds enabling localised temperature control, as required, without the need for a costly central system. Available in a range of power outputs and sizes plus a choice in mounting options, infrared heaters are also the ideal choice for emergency heating of temporary hospital environments such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to the heating of hospital wards, infrared heaters can also be used to effectively heat large open spaces such as waiting rooms and hallways. Our Colorado space heaters were installed within the waiting rooms of a Chelsea Hospital which has very high atria and airflow. With a warm glow, these heaters offer a fast warm up option for waiting visitors and are controlled by a handy remote. There is also the option to control these via a central building management system or alternative thermostats from Herschel’s range.

Infrared panels can be wall mounted or ceiling mounted. For those environments that require the risk of injury to patients to be reduced, ceiling mounting removes the heating from Priority 1 to Priority 3. They can also be mounted with anti-ligature fittings where required.

The Herschel Ceiling tile is ideal for hallways with a ceiling grid and provides a no hassle, space-saving solution.
