Welcome to Applications - Aircraft Hangars

Equipment Selection:   High BTU tube heaters and/or high BTU, high intensity infra-red models are preferred for high-mount locations like hangars. Two-stage infra-red heaters are highly recommended.  They recover heat lost through large doors, yet they cycle less frequently during normal operation.

 

 

 

Installation:  Most of the heat should be concentrated near the main door by locating burner boxes or additional heaters at this point.  It is important to note that ANSI/NFPA 409 calls for the heater to be installed at least 10 feet above the highest wing surface of any aircraft stored inside.
