Packaged Heater

Definition

A packaged heater is a factory-assembled piece of equipment that supplies heat-producing units for circulation to a desired location or use.

Purpose

Packaged heaters are designed to provide efficient and reliable heating for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. They simplify installation and operation by integrating all necessary components into a single unit.

Examples of Use

• Residential Heating: Used to heat homes and apartments.
• Commercial Buildings: Installed in office buildings, retail spaces, and hotels to provide heating.
• Industrial Applications: Used in warehouses, factories, and other industrial facilities for space heating.

• Furnace: A device used to heat air that is distributed through ducts in a building.
• Boiler: A system that heats water or generates steam for heating.

Notes
