Frost Protection Heating For Warehouses

When temperatures drop, frost protection in warehouses and distribution centres becomes critical. Frozen stock, burst pipes, and damaged infrastructure can halt operations overnight. The challenge is maintaining a consistent, above-freezing temperature in large, open spaces where warm air naturally rises — without wasting energy.

At Hadar Industries, we design and supply heating and air movement systems that deliver reliable frost protection efficiently, ensuring your warehouse stays operational whatever the weather.

The Challenge: Keeping Floor-Level Temperatures Safe

In high-bay or open-plan warehouse environments, heat naturally stratifies — warm air accumulates near the roof while cold air settles at floor level. This creates a significant temperature difference between working and storage zones, leaving vulnerable areas such as loading bays, racking aisles, and water services exposed to frost risk.

An effective frost protection strategy must:

  • Distribute heat evenly throughout the space.

  • Maintain a minimum ambient temperature (typically 5°C).

  • Operate efficiently with minimal energy waste.

That’s where Hadar’s specialist air movement and heating systems make the difference.

Hadar Cyclone Air Rotation Systems

The Hadar Cyclone is an advanced air-rotation system engineered to move large volumes of air slowly and evenly throughout the building. By continuously circulating warm air from the roof level down to the floor, Cyclone units eliminate temperature stratification and ensure uniform conditions across the entire space.

  • Provides full air mixing for even temperature distribution.

  • Reduces heat loss and energy costs.

  • Ideal for large warehouses, logistics centres, and storage facilities.

  • Available in heated and unheated configurations depending on site requirements.

Hadar Zephr Cabinet Heaters

For larger facilities or where ducted warm air is needed, the Hadar Zephr range of cabinet heaters offers exceptional flexibility and performance. Available in both standard and high-efficiency condensing versions, Zephr units deliver powerful, evenly distributed warm air for frost protection and general heating.

  • High output for large-volume areas and high ceilings.

  • Vertical or horizontal configurations available.

  • Suitable for ducted or free-blowing installation.

  • Designed for durability and easy maintenance.

Used alongside Hadar destratification fans, Zephr cabinet heaters provide a robust, energy-efficient solution for frost protection.

Apen Gas-Fired Unit Heaters — LRP, LRN & LK Series

For efficient, targeted heating, Apen’s LRP, LRN and LK gas-fired unit heaters integrate perfectly with Hadar air movement systems. These high-performance suspended heaters provide rapid response and reliable output, ideal for maintaining steady background heat during cold conditions.

  • High efficiency and low NOx performance.

  • Modulating burners deliver only the heat required — reducing fuel consumption.

  • Compact suspended design saves valuable floor space.

  • Proven performance across industrial and commercial environments.

Used alongside Hadar destratification fans, Apen heaters provide a robust, energy-efficient solution for frost protection.

Hadar DSF Destratification Fans

Completing the system are Hadar DSF destratification fans — simple, efficient devices that recover wasted heat from roof space and return it to floor level. In frost protection mode, DSF fans help maintain uniform conditions while significantly reducing heating costs.

  • Recirculates warm air from high level to working zones.

  • Cuts heat loss through the roof by up to 30%.

  • Quick to install and easy to retrofit.

  • Low running costs with automatic thermostatic control.

By integrating DSF fans with warm air heaters, you achieve consistent floor-level temperatures with minimal energy use.
