Combat Extreme Cold with Val6 Heaters from Dakota Fluid Power
When winter temperatures drop below zero, maintaining productivity, safety, and comfort on the job site or in the shop becomes a serious challenge. Traditional forced-air heaters struggle to perform efficiently in open or drafty spaces — wasting fuel and circulating dust without delivering consistent heat where it’s needed most.
At Dakota Fluid Power, we carry the industry’s top solution to cold-weather heating: Val6 Radiant Infrared Heaters.
Why Traditional Heaters Fall Short in Cold Weather
Forced-air heaters rely on blowing hot air into the space, which can be ineffective in windy or poorly insulated environments. As soon as warm air rises or gets displaced by cold drafts, your team is back in the cold — and you’re burning through fuel to chase comfort.
Radiant Infrared Heat = Efficiency + Comfort
Val6 Heaters use radiant infrared technology to deliver heat directly to people, objects, and surfaces — much like the sun’s rays. This targeted heat transfer minimizes energy loss, making Val6 ideal for:
- Construction sites
- Open workshops or garages
- Equipment thawing
- Material drying
- Agricultural facilities
Infrared heat is unaffected by wind and cold air, meaning your warmth stays where it’s aimed — not lost to the environment.

FAQs
Q: What makes Val6 heaters better than torpedo or forced-air heaters?
Val6 heaters use infrared radiation to heat objects and surfaces, not the air. This means higher efficiency, no air circulation, and better performance in open or windy areas.
Q: Are Val6 heaters safe for indoor use?
Yes. With proper ventilation and adherence to safety guidelines, Val6 heaters operate cleanly and quietly with minimal emissions and no exposed flames.
Q: How much fuel does a Val6 heater use?
Val6 models vary, but most deliver high BTU output with lower fuel consumption compared to similar BTU forced-air units — maximizing runtime and fuel efficiency.
Q: Can Val6 heaters be used in agricultural or shop environments?
Absolutely. Val6 is ideal for shops, machine sheds, barns, and any area that requires safe, dust-free radiant heat in cold conditions.
Don’t Let the Cold Slow You Down
