Officine Termotecniche
Fraccaro s.r.l. is a leading company in the
heating and radiation field and it has been in this market for over thirty years. We are specialists in the
industrial heating sector and in large-area heating, without overlooking other applications of
radiant heating, such as industrial ovens, heating churches, greenhouses, etc.
Hot Water Thermal Panels WATERSTRIP are suitable for a wide range of
industrial and commercial buildings, including factories, warehouses, exhibitions, schools, and sport facilities.
WATERSTRIPs provide either small or big environments with effective and silent heating coupled with no air movement and no dust circulating. Moreover, low heat stratification enables obtaining high savings in energy and running costs.
ADVANTAGES
A much healthier environment, as no moving air causes suspension of dust, common to all production
processes.
A very comfortable environment since Fraccaro's PANRADs generate environmental conditions that ensure maximum well-being, by integrating the heat released by the human body through
radiation.
High thermal emission generated by the higher available surface temperatures and the high reflection coefficient provided by the reflecting dishes that reflect heat
downward.
Quick, easy installation obtained by very simple assembly and rapid ceiling installation with normal
chains.
No floor or wall space is necessary, because the appliances are installed on the ceiling, and high radiation emission drastically reduces the area required for the heating
bodies.
No danger of frost, as the lack of carrying fluids such as water or steam makes it possible to shut down systems for long periods without any unpleasant
consequence.
Uniform temperature: the heat produced by the Radiant Modules ensures uniform temperature horizontally throughout the building - better than any type of traditional
heating.
Environment-friendly
Negative thermal gradient: the heat is concentrated fully toward the floor and the objects on it.
You can heat individual work zones by activating only the appliances heating those zones, just as easily as lighting lamps to illuminate a particular area. This facility cuts down running costs
considerably.
Minimum maintenance due to the reliability of each component and exact checks on assembly line and in-house laboratory in compliance with EU directives. All this guarantees high reliability and safety over a long
period.
With this system in Italy you qualify for regional subsidies on energy saving (Law 10/91) due to highly economic
running.
Rapid warming due to lack of intermediate fluids that require
heating.
Conforms to current standards. Our considerable experience acquired in over thirty years of activity, allied with our participation in product standard specifying work-groups makes Fraccaro the ideal partner in this sector of thermal technology.

Industrial ovens are an example of a special application of
radiant heating. Heat developed by the radiating tubes warms the objects inside the oven. By means of conduction, these objects cause water molecules to evaporate from their surface. Sometimes it is sufficient to heat an object at a particular temperature - in any case, a thermostat controls the heating process. The radiating ovens built by
FRACCARO do not use ventilated air to ensure savings in energy costs. This is clearly shown by the fact that it is sufficient to heat the surface and not the whole object.
Radiating oven systems have been successfully created for the purpose of drying marble, for providing high thermal gradients to metal pieces in mechanical processing industries, and for surface heating of freshly painted materials. Each system is designed according to the heating requirements needed, and it is built with modules of variable thermal power from 10 kW to 100
kW.
Heating by incandescent heaters is the best technique for large and high rooms. The heater consists of a Venturi pipe and a gas injector. Gas injection speed causes a drop in pressure so that the quantity of air required for correct burning is drawn in. The air-gas mixture is delivered to the mixing chamber and is spread along the entire surface of the heat exchanger. The latter consists of a set of ceramic plates, which, warmed to a high temperature, overheat and radiate the surface areas below. The heater is equipped with a mirror reflector for directing radiation.
All the products can be easily assembled thanks to their aptitude for rapid and safe installation. Every qualified assembly team is able to perform the installation of the whole system in a very short time. |  |

The GIRAD radiating belt is a suspended
radiation-heating unit suitable for medium to large areas. A system with GIRAD appliances consists of a heat production unit fuelled by gas (methane or LPG) and a Radiating Belt, i.e. a tube providing a closed circuit at lower than environmental pressure (as required by Italian law). The GIRAD radiating belt is able to adjust its power and shape according to the features of every single building.The maximum temperature of the Radiating Belt is controlled by an adjustable thermostat and can be set up in a range of 100 to 300°C (212 to 572°F) according to the requirements. A fan in the final section of the circuit creates low pressure inside the circuit. The
GIRAD system adapts its shape and power to the characteristics of the building. After installation, a convector fluid is circulated at high speed inside the Radiating Belt. The fluid consists of a mixture of hot air and burned gas. When the set temperature is reached, the burner is cut out, while the combustion unit fan continues to operate until the radiating circuit reaches the minimum set temperature. The GIRAD system is designed to have the heat production unit and burner located outside the building. The gas supply line area is also located outside.
High-quality components and care during assembly place
GIRAD at the maximum level regarding safety and efficiency. This system is protected by the
International Patent "Fraccaro" nr. 94115945.1. The Girad belt is designed and produced with specific engineering
characteristics:
Design: inspired by the most modern and efficient sheet steel machining to provide adequate accommodation for the
appliance.
Flexibility: all the burners have a 2- or 3- stage
power-module.
Material: materials used are suitable to resist at very low external temperatures and in a very wide range of weather
conditions.
GIRAD can have the heating unit and its burner installed outside (either hanging on a wall or upon the roof) or even inside the building, according to requirements by law. |  |

If you lean against a brick wall after sunrise on a cold winter morning, you will feel unexpected warmth, even if the external temperature is below zero. This is due to the sunrays warming the environment by heating solid objects.
ENERGOSTRIP heating is based on the same principle: it emits natural and comfortable heat without any cold area or draught.
ENERGOSTRIP is an electricity-fed panel and it is suitable for ceilings from 2 to 10 meters (from 6.56 to 32.8 ft) in height, from small bathrooms to wide industrial
sheds. This is a simple system, with low installation costs and maintenance-free. As it is installed just below the
ceiling, floors and walls remain clear. It is suitable for both total and supplementary heating. These systems can be installed in schools, houses, offices, shops, shopping malls, churches, hospitals, public garages, etc.

The heater is equipped with a mirror reflector for directing radiation.
Incandescent heaters can be used in foundries, open areas such as canopies, goods loading and unloading areas, extremely high rooms, etc. For indoor applications, burned gas can be exhausted either through a discharge system or inside the room itself, providing mechanical ventilation or through natural ventilation according to the EN131410 standard. Incandescent heaters are the perfect solution for churches - in fact,
SUNRADs are not only on the cutting edge of technology but also beautifully styled. That's why they have been accepted by the Italian National Institute of Fine
Arts.
