The principle of operation of infrared heaters is significantly different from the principle of operation of convection heaters.
Because infrared heaters convert electrical energy to thermal with a heating element. Namely, in the form of heat rays, thermal energy is transmitted to objects, on the surface, that is, the light-moving rays of the infrared heater are directed to everything.
Thermal energy that infrared heaters produce is distributed in this way: 92% of the energy is sent to heating in the zone of the object heater, and only 8% is spent on direct heating of air. And all the other traditional heaters are spent all the energy, on the contrary, to heat the air. In addition, infrared heaters do not dry air, that is, they do not reduce the oxygen content, due to this infrared heaters do not cause a sense of fatigue and lethargy, as well as headaches.
Thermal energy that is emitted by a special heating element - flamethine, is absorbed by objects and surfaces, such as walls, floor, furniture, interior items, and so on. Therefore, the surfaces and items first are heated, and then after a while they begin to radiate the secondary heat, which is distributed throughout the room, while heating it. This principle of operation provides a minimum temperature difference in the upper and lower part of the room. What significantly reduces the cost of heating and heating the room.
Thermal energy that infrared heaters emit completely without any loss reaches all surfaces to which the heater light drops. Due to this, with the help of an infrared heater, you can warm the room in 3 and even 4 times faster than with the help of a conventional traditional heating system.
The energy of the infrared heater is advised to direct on objects that are able to effectively absorb this thermal energy for further heating of the room. It is not worth directing the light flux rays on the walls, ceiling, doors and windows, as part of the heat can "go out" into the street, which is unprofitable from an economic point of view.
