It is often the architect’s heating system of choice when seeking to utilise natural light in the most effective way and incorporating large areas of glazing in new developments, building extensions or refurbishments.
Discrete & Smart
It is set into the floor, within a trench, and the heat rises through an attractive aluminium or wooden grille that sits flush with the floor surface. The heat source, contained within the trench, can either be piped hot water or electric elements.
Primary or Secondary Heating Solutions
Trench heating can be used either as a highly effective primary heating system or as a secondary heating system to help increase overall heating system efficiency by counteracting downdraught and heating losses in highly glazed areas. The extensive Hitte Trench Heating range comprises 4 main product types:
- Hitte Natural Convection: operates on the principal of natural convection without a fan
- Hitte Fan-assisted Convection: rapid start-up, increased heating output
- Hitte Fan-assisted Electric: ideal where a hot water supply is not readily available
- Hitte Heating & Cooling: enjoy warm winters and cool summers within a single system
The Natural Convection Trench Heating and Fan Assisted Convection Trench Heating units and Heating and Cooling Trench systems all use piped hot water (LPHW) as the heat source. The heat outputs directly relate to the flow/return temperatures of that source whether a conventional hot water boiler, solar energy hot water system or ground source heat pump. The Electric Trench uses 230V single phase electricity supply and the heat output relates to the length of each trench unit and the number of electric elements fitted.
Trench Heating Models for Wet or Humid Environments
In addition, the Hitte range offers especially adapted models for operation in wet or humid areas such as swimming pools, saunas and garden terracing.
Choose from an Extensive Standard Range or Opt for Bespoke Designs
The standard Hitte range offers a vast combination of unit depths, widths and lengths as well as many choices on grilles, trough materials and finishes. For seamless perimeter designs, it also offers mitred cornering and can produce bespoke curved units on request.
The team Commercial Industrial Heat can also work with you on bespoke Hitte designs to meet the most challenging of requirements.
Product Specification & Costing Tool
Architects, Engineering Consultants and Contractors often need to design and configure trench heating systems during the project planning phase. Later on, Contractors also need to look for alternatives to specified suppliers to ensure best value for the project. Commercial Industrial Heat has developed a Specification & Pricing Tool to assist in selecting the optimal configuration for your project.
With this tool you can input any parameters you have to work with to filter down the options as you go, and build your sections until you reach either a required length or required heat output for the area. Once you have completed this process and picked all you require it will give you a good clear estimate of cost. From there, you can download a specification document for an upcoming tender or later reference. If you have any questions or bespoke needs, simply call or email our technical sales team to who can assist you in making your selections.
