Energy efficient radiant tubing produced by Ambi-Rad has been installed at a sports hall and gymnasium at a leisure complex in Crawley. Nor-Ray-Vac continuous radiant tube heating systems provide background warmth in the sports hall and gymnasium. Designed and fitted by Emcor Group, the system comprises of 12 NRV 32LR burners, covering the entire floor area of the sports hall, and four NRV 32LR burners in the gym. The product provides low intensity warmth with rapid heat-up and heat recovery as well as low noise, making it particularly suitable for sports facilities. Sports England's Optimum Sports Hall template can be met with this type of heating. In sports facilities, heating must be close controlled to ensure comfort for spectators and players. The product provides this because the physical properties of radiant heat mean it can be set to a lower constant temperature than other systems to achieve the same comfort levels, the company claims. This results in energy cost savings.
