Electric heaters for thermal disinfection

Electric heaters convert electric energy into heat, which is then pushed into the surrounding environment. These heaters used for thermal disinfection are capable of rising up to 70ºC for specific lengths of time.

Thermal disinfection works by raising temperatures in the area past the point that bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms can live. All germs have a “thermal death point”, which when exceeded for a period of time, will cause them to die.

Using only hot air to create inhospitable conditions for bugs, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants, electric heaters are an efficient, effective way to ensure spaces are clean and healthy for inhabitants.

Electric heaters offer several benefits for disinfecting an environment when compared with chemical disinfectants. These units are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making them suitable for a range of applications.

They can reach high temperatures very quickly, allowing them to rapidly disinfect spaces and reach every corner of a room, which a chemical solution may not be able to achieve.

In addition, this is a healthier and cleaner approach to chemicals, which could risk the wellbeing of people and pets, and has a much reduced environmental impact. Plus, as many germs and pathogens have developed resistance to chemicals and pesticides over the years, heat is a more effective way to eradicate spaces of harmful microorganisms.

Electric heaters for thermal disinfection can be used by a range of professionals, and are easier to use and install than spraying chemicals in a space. Often they are employed by pest control specialists and healthcare professionals.

Because heaters leave no residue that must be cleaned up like chemicals, these are ideally suited for disinfection in many public, commercial and industrial spaces, including:

• Houses, flats and other accommodation

• Hospital rooms

• Train carriages

• Aeroplane cabins

• Restaurants

• Shopping malls

• Warehouses and storage areas

Yes. Chemicals and pesticides have a greater environmental impact than electric heaters, making this approach to disinfecting more eco-friendly.

At Dantherm Group, our decades of development across our range of electric heaters has made them effective energy-savers, reducing their environmental impact as much as possible.

Disinfection means that the overwhelming majority of bacteria, viruses and other germs in a space are eradicated. However, some resistant bacterial spores may remain in the process.

Sterilisation leaves environments completely free from any presence of microorganisms. This is more thorough than disinfection, but will typically take longer and require more heavy-duty, specialist equipment.

Yes. Electric heaters are very safe and simple to use, and present a minimal hazard when the appropriate precautions are taken.

• It is important to read and understand the user manual for key safety information

• Regular maintenance of the unit should be carried out

• The area around the heater should be free from obstructions when in use

Furthermore, our units’ smooth, gradual heating stops thermal shock damage to rooms and the objects within them, ensuring controlled disinfection at all times.
