Winter Construction: Indirect Heating At Lincoln Contractors Supply

Last month we talked about heating solutions for your winter job sites. In the next few months, we will dive into details about the different types of heating solutions. The first type of heating we will discuss is Indirect Fired Heaters.

One of the most effective solutions to combat the chill is the use of Indirect Fired Heating Systems. But what exactly is Indirect Fired Heating, and why is it the preferred choice for construction sites?

What is indirect fired heating?

Indirect Fired Heaters are great for enclosed spaces. They provide clean, dry heat without introducing harmful byproducts into your work area by using a heat exchanger. In this process, the combustion gases never encounter the air being circulated.  Indirect Fired Heaters are highly efficient and ideal for precise temperature control. 

How Does indirect fired heating Work?

Indirect Fired Heaters typically burn fuel to product heat. The heat created warms up a heat exchanger, the air then blows over the exchanger, absorbing the warmth without any contact with the combustion process. Warm air is distributed through the desired areas, while the combustion gases are vented safely outside.

Why use Indirect Fired Heating on your Construction site?

• Safety First – No fumes are released into the workspace
• Clean Air – The absence of byproducts means less air pollution
• Even Heat Distribution – essential for curing concrete or preventing materials from freezing
• Versatility – Easy transport and set up, can be various construction environments
