Good morning,
I've been trying to get a quote for some work my boss has proposed for in our shop, been bounced about by companies and trying to make the job more complex than (we think) we require.
We've a area of ~1300 cubic meters that is split height (all suspended ceiling covered with insulation) that we heat with 6 6kw? heaters which replace a tile and a log burner that puts out about 8kw.
The section at the back of the shop (Higher ceiling on a mezzanine floor) accumulates all the heat while the front of the shop stays cold.
We're looking at putting in a simple ventilation/ducting from the bulkhead where the ceiling height increases to draw in hot air and then vent it out of the ceiling at the front of the shop. We understand this will create air flow and hopefully balance the temperature around the shop though the heat will obviously always trying to rise.
The only advice we've been given is to use a heat recovery system, but it's a leaky old building and the 'seepage' will be much too high for these to work as I have understood from some brief reading and also not really required as I can gather?
Could anyone possibly give us an option for what kind of installation we'd want for this, or if we're thinking too simple and it's just not something that is done...
I have got some dimensions of the shop if required, though the most important value I can think of is that it's about 28 mtrs run from the intake to the vent above the ceiling which is unheated
Many thanks if you read to the end, especially if you can help
regards
Rob
