Greater comfort, more space, and better health in Fiat - CNH plants

The objective was to upgrade the heating system. The existing system was inefficient and had high energy consumption. The continuous convective motion of the air raised dust, making breathing hazardous, and control over performance and costs was imprecise.

Client

Multinational company part of the Fiat Industrial group, manufacturer of earthmoving and agricultural machinery

Requirement

The company's objective was to upgrade the heating system. The existing system was inefficient and had high energy consumption.
Furthermore, the continuous convective motion of the heated air raised dust, making breathing hazardous, and control over performance and costs was very imprecise. Finally, the space occupied by tanks, radiators, and the thermal power plant amounted to as much as 1,600 m². All of this made the management of the system difficult and inefficient.

01.

60,000 m² of plant area to be heated

02.

Low efficiency of the existing system with high consumption

03.

Movement of dust in the environment and significant space occupied by the system

The proposed solution

After a thorough study phase and a careful evaluation of the project, we replaced the existing system with a radiant heating system using EUCERK gas radiant strips.
Our team of experts first removed the pre-existing system, freeing up and reclaiming useful space. They then proceeded to install the radiant system with 51 modulating burners, start up the system, and train the personnel in charge of management. All within four months.

Benefits achieved

Fast heating

Ability to quickly heat various work islands by programming them

Better management

System management is now possible via computer, programmable and controllable by zones

Clean air

The air is completely still thanks to radiant heating; dust remains on the ground and the environment is healthier

Cost reduction

Thanks to improved management and the machinery installed, overall costs and consumption have been reduced
