General information is not a substitute for design. It is the starting file: what Solaronics equipment covers, which documents exist, what the main product families mean, and which inputs are required so the answer is not generic.
What belongs in the information package
The original Solaronics information page separates two groups: company and documents. For a Slovenian buyer, the more useful split is technical. First decide whether you need supplier evidence, project documentation or service data. Each group answers a different question.
| Group | Typical questions | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Company and references | who manufactures the equipment, where it is present, which sectors use it | supplier check, tender file |
| Certificates | whether the product is compliant for the selected family and appliance type | technical file, supervision, handover |
| CAD drawings | where the appliance is suspended, where connections are, how much space is required | design, as-built file, coordination with structure and services |
| Technical instructions | how the appliance is mounted, connected, commissioned and serviced | installer, service engineer, commissioning lead |
| Service data | model, serial number, spare parts, commissioning record | maintenance after delivery |
If you have only one question, choose the right group. If you are preparing a tender, you need at least the certificate, data sheet and drawing. If you are preparing service, the serial number is more important than a general brochure.
Main equipment families
Solaronics equipment should be separated by heat-transfer method. Radiant plaques and radiant tubes heat people, floors and objects directly. Gas unit heaters and warm-air generators heat air. Air curtains are not the main heating system; they protect the doorway opening. Destratification fans do not create heat; they return warm air from the roof space to the occupied zone.
This split prevents the most common wrong question: "how many kilowatts do I need". The more useful question is: "which heat-transfer method fits the building". Only then does it make sense to talk about output, number of appliances, zones and controls.
Data to send before a technical answer
For a fast answer, send the inputs that affect selection. A hall photo helps, but it does not replace numbers. If the data are approximate, mark them as such; the designer can then say which input is critical and which is not.
| Input | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| floor area and height | defines volume, mounting height and stratification |
| roof and wall insulation | defines losses and the suitability of radiant or warm-air heating |
| activity type | separates warehouse, production, sport, logistics and service use |
| operating hours | affects condensing equipment, controls and payback |
| energy source | G20, G25, G31, electricity or hot water |
| doors and openings | shows the need for air curtains or zoning |
| existing equipment | enables comparison, not only new sizing |
References and traceability
When checking a supplier, use named references only where they are public. The Solaronics reference base includes industrial and public names such as Renault, Coca-Cola, Bombardier, SNCF, ArcelorMittal, Alstom and Aéroport de Genève. That list does not choose the model for your building, but it shows that the equipment is not an untested catalogue item.
For your building, references are only the second step. The first step remains the physics of the building: height, insulation, operating pattern, doors, energy source and mounting constraints. A supplier that skips these inputs and starts with a company presentation cannot give a precise answer.
Where to go next
If you do not yet know which equipment family is correct, start with the technical guide. If you already know the model, open certificates, CAD drawings and technical instructions. If you have an existing system and want to reduce consumption, an Econergy review is more relevant. If the equipment is already operating and not behaving correctly, start with diagnostics.
