Electric Portable Space Heater

Available in four different sizes with ranges of heating power from 5,000 to 60,000 BTU’s.

Radiant Infrared Mobile Space Heater

Great units for very large spaces, such as warehouses, industrial sheds, yards, open spaces.

Temporary Heat for Construction & Industrial Projects

Construction sites, warehouses, workshops, temporary buildings and industrial facilities can require substantial temporary heat during Michigan’s colder months. Permanent building systems may not yet be operating, or additional heating capacity may be required to maintain working temperatures in large or partially completed spaces.

Cantherm supplies Arcotherm portable heaters for applications ranging from individual work areas to large construction and industrial buildings. Indirect-fired heaters provide high-capacity clean heat that can be moved through ducting, while electric and radiant equipment provide options for smaller enclosed spaces and targeted work areas.

Heating capacity should be based on the volume of the space, required temperature increase, insulation, air leakage and available fuel or electrical service.

Electric Heat for Enclosed Work Areas

Electric portable heaters provide temporary heat without fuel storage or combustion exhaust.

They are useful for finishing work, workshops, commercial spaces and smaller enclosed areas where sufficient electrical service is available. Electric heat can also be useful where fuel-fired equipment is not appropriate for the application.

Available voltage and amperage should be confirmed before equipment is selected because larger electric heaters can place significant demand on the building’s electrical service.

Ducting Heat Through Large Buildings

Large buildings rarely need heat in only one location. Flexible ducting and multi-way adapters allow warm air to be distributed into different sections of a construction site, warehouse or temporary structure.

Compatible Arcotherm systems can also use return-air components to recirculate heated air, thermostatic controls to maintain working temperatures and external fuel connections for longer operating periods. Cantherm’s current EC accessories include one-way, two-way and three-way duct adapters, return-air adapters and external fuel tank kits.

Diesel Heat for High-Capacity Applications

Diesel-fired heaters provide substantial temporary heating capacity without placing the electrical demand on the building that an equivalent electric resistance system would require.

They are suited to large construction projects, warehouses, temporary structures, maintenance facilities and other commercial applications where high-output heat may be required for extended periods.

Arcotherm EC heaters range from approximately 112,000 to 294,000 BTU, with larger PHOEN, JUMBO and TITAN models available for higher-capacity applications. EC models can operate on diesel, kerosene or jet fuel.

Cold-Weather Fuel & Operating Support

Long periods of cold weather place additional demands on portable heating equipment and fuel systems.

Compatible Arcotherm EC heaters include features designed for cold-weather operation such as preheated oil filters and fuel-line options for circulating warmer fuel. External fuel tanks can also increase runtime on projects where heaters need to operate for extended periods.

For larger heating projects, fuel capacity and expected runtime should be considered along with heater output and ducting requirements.

Radiant Heat for Targeted Areas

Radiant heaters provide concentrated heat for people, equipment and defined work areas rather than heating the entire volume of a building.

They are useful for workshops, maintenance areas, construction projects and industrial applications where only part of the workspace requires additional heat.

Cantherm supplies Arcotherm FIRE Series radiant heaters for professional applications.

Indirect-Fired Heat for Larger Enclosed Spaces

Indirect-fired heaters are well suited to construction sites, warehouses, workshops and industrial facilities where clean heated air needs to be delivered into an enclosed workspace.

Combustion exhaust remains separate from the heated airflow while warm air can be distributed through flexible ducting. This makes indirect-fired equipment useful for large buildings, divided work areas and projects where the heater itself needs to remain outside the occupied space.

Cantherm supplies Arcotherm EC, PHOEN, JUMBO and TITAN indirect-fired heater ranges for commercial and industrial applications.

Heater Ducting, Thermostats & Accessories

The heater itself is only part of an effective temporary heating system. Cantherm supplies accessories for Arcotherm portable heaters including duct adapters, flexible ducting, thermostats and external fuel tank options. Properly selected accessories can help distribute heat where it is needed, control operating temperatures and make the heating system easier to manage on an active jobsite.

Diesel Generators & Temporary Power

Cantherm supplies portable and mobile diesel generators for construction, maintenance, industrial and field applications throughout Michigan.

Yanmar YDG portable diesel generators provide compact power for jobsites, service crews, pumps, tools and other smaller electrical loads. The current YDG line consists of 3,700-watt and 5,500-watt peak-output portable models.

Larger mobile diesel generator systems are available where construction sites, industrial operations or temporary facilities require substantially greater electrical capacity.

Temporary Power for Cold-Weather Projects

Remote worksites and winter construction projects may require both portable heat and electrical power.

Fuel-fired heaters still require electricity for fans, controls and other components, while tools, pumps, lighting and service equipment can add additional demand. Where a generator will support both heating equipment and other loads, the complete electrical requirement should be considered together.

Generator sizing should account for voltage, continuous demand and the higher starting load of motors, pumps and compressors.

Portable Cooling for Summer Work

Michigan’s winter climate does not eliminate the need for temporary cooling during warmer months.

Cantherm supplies MovinCool and OceanAire refrigerated portable air conditioning for enclosed workshops, equipment rooms, production areas and temporary commercial spaces. Portable AC can provide spot cooling, supplemental capacity or temporary cooling when permanent HVAC is unavailable.

Portacool and Vector Climate evaporative equipment is also available for suitable open or well-ventilated environments, but refrigerated portable AC is generally the more predictable option for enclosed spaces during humid summer conditions.
