Contrary to the fact that infrared heaters have been used successfully for a long time, until now they have not been widely used. Nowadays, infrared heaters in most cases are found in offices, supermarkets and industrial premises.
It should be noted that they slowly make their way into the niche of heaters, which are used in everyday life, for example, in cottages or in summer cottages. Prevents their spread high cost. Oil radiators and convectors are much less.
The strength of the infrared heater is that it carries out uniform heating. By the principle of radiation, the infrared heater resembles the sun’s rays. The difference lurks only in the fact that it does not radiate ultraviolet radiation, but only an infrared spectrum.
Infrared rays. Passing through the air, it is partially heated. As a result, heat energy is transmitted to objects standing opposite the heater. The color and material of the surface, as well as the shape of the object and the angle of falling rays determine the degree of heating.
For heating one square meter of the room, a heater with a capacity of 1 kW is sufficient. If you intend to use an infrared heater as the main heat source, you should take a model that will have a power supply. The fact is that heat will be lost through ceilings, walls and windows.
If an additional heater is required, then its power should be calculated taking into account specific conditions. Heat loss must be taken into account in this case.
The modern market can offer you more powerful heaters. They are an excellent solution for local temporary heating. Low -power infrared heaters can be kept in proximity to people.
