How it Works
System X ceiling grid heaters provide comfort or background heat in a wide variety of commercial buildings. They are particularly well-suited to heating shops.
A system will include a controller and up to 12 individual heaters. The control daisy chain is connected using Cat5 cables ensuring the quickest possible installation time. Power is introduced to each heater individually with the controller taking its power from the first heater in the chain.
A unique feature of System X is that any style of heater from the range can be incorporated into a control daisy chain. For example, an overdoor heater could be added to a ceiling grid heater system. Heaters can be connected in any combination and any sequence.

Selection
If you would like the experts at BN Thermic to select a suitable heating for your application, please click below to access our enquiry form. Simply provide as much information as you have available and we will respond with a detailed proposal.
Enquiry FormIn simple terms, the output of the System X installation must be greater than the heat losses from the building during periods of cold weather. A small amount of heat is lost through the walls, ceilings and floors with more significant losses through windows and doors.
To estimate the heat loss from your building you may like to use our heat calculation tool
Heat CalculatorThe estimated heat loss figure is the absolute minimum kW output that you should consider installing. We would suggest adding approximately 50% to this figure to allow for an acceptable warm-up time in cold conditions as well as making allowances for exceptional weather conditions and possible errors in the original data used in the estimate.
Having established the minimum kW output, select the minimum number of heaters needed to meet this requirement.
