3. WORKING PARAMETERS

Operation principle

The infrared heater is an appliance with an electric heating element that
gives heat when heated in the environment by generating directional
infrared radiation. Radiant energy absorbed by the surrounding surfaces
and turning into thermal energy heats them. The temperature on the
surface of objects may be different depending on their properties
termoabsorbtsionnyh (numbers surface material), the angle of incidence of
infrared rays , the shape and surface area. Surface is also given to some of
the heat the air, while heated air rising to the ceiling, gradually cools down,
while at the head of a standing person on the air temperature is 1-2 °C
below the temperature of the floor.

Main features

1. Significant economic effect as compared to convectional heating, where
heat is significantly consumed for heating of unused roof space (first, air
is heated throughout the room volume, and then air heats objects and
surfaces in the room).

2. Capability of local heating only for those areas in the room, where it is
necessary, without heating of the whole room volume.

3. Low air temperature in the room at comfortable temperature on surfaces
of objects, floor, and walls creates the freshness effect air is not dried up.

4. Low convection (thermal movement of air volumes) reduces amount of
dust kicked up from the floor.

5. Absence of the burnt air effect contrary to heaters with high temperature
of the work surface.

Area of application

Infrared heaters are designed for general, additional, and local heating
of industrial, production, utility, and similar rooms (flats, offices, trade
enterprises, exercise rooms, educational institutions, public catering
enterprises, storage facilities, hangars, agricultural facilities, etc.).

When these heaters are used in day-care services they can be used only
for additional heating.
