What are infrared heaters and how do they work?
To understand the difference between infrared heating and any other electric convection heating, we have to think about the way the heat is emitted. Electric heating systems provide heat by heating the air around us, a thermal inertia radiator or electric radiator will heat the air mass in the room by convection, to provide us with the desired room temperature.
In contrast, infrared heating radiates the heat directly onto people, objects or surfaces, so that the heat emitted by the device is felt much more quickly. Infrared heating provides direct and instantaneous heat, making it ideal for providing occasional warmth in indoor and outdoor areas. Infrared heaters are an efficient, economical and easy to use heating system.
Types of infrared heaters: find the ideal model for you according to the areas where you are going to use it
The different models of infrared heaters can be classified into three types of heating emitters: short short-wave, medium-wave and long-wave infrared heaters.
All models produce heat, but depending on the height, heating meters, speed or their light emission we can determine which infrared model is most suitable in each case.
Shortwave infrared
The shorter the infrared wavelength is, the more instantaneous heat it provides and the greater the distance the heat can reach. The short-wave infrared is distinguished by a bright light and is perceived by people with a strong heat. In outdoor spaces their light helps with illumination and they can provide instant and pleasant warmth, even in cold temperatures. They are widely used on terraces, patios, outside of bars, shower areas in swimming pools, gyms, in bathrooms and toilets.
Medium wave infrared
These medium wave infrared models are designed with carbon lamps, so the glare light emission will be much lower than with short wave halogen infrared. They provide quick and pleasant warmth and their use is also recommended for indoor use, such as patios and garages or outdoor terraces, gazebos and porches; always with the recommendation of not installing them outdoors under the direct action of the weather.
Longwave infrared
The long wave offers a very comfortable warmth for people and is characterised by the fact that it does not emit any light. Its heat distribution is more even. This type of infrared heaters are also highly recommended for indoor areas in homes and businesses such as offices, shops, garages, gyms, swimming pools, patios, etc., such as our high power IFF radiant panel infrared heater for heating large spaces.
BBenefits and advantages of infrared heating
Simple installation
These infrared heaters are quick to install. Depending on the model, they can be ceiling mounted like the IFT ceiling infrared, wall mounted like the IFB or IFH halogen infrared, portable and simply placed on the floor like the IF360 portable infrared or even some models can be wall mounted and compatible with a tripod offered as an accessory, like the IFC carbon infrared.
Low-maintenance and totally safe
Infrared radiators do not require any special maintenance, apart from dusting the reflectors or the surface to ensure perfect operation.
They are designed to provide an intense and totally safe heat and include a safety thermostat against overheating, although it is always important to follow our instructions and safety rules specified in the manual.
Quiet and instantaneous operation
These units are completely silent and offer an immediate on/off response. They transform 100% of their power into heat in less than a second, without any kind of pre-heating, so you can enjoy instant heat, as well as very pleasant, similar to the heat of the sun.
100% efficiency, no convection or air circulation
As we explained earlier, this type of infrared heating is 100% efficient, i.e. everything consumed by the equipment will be transformed into heat, but not by heating the air, but by heating people and objects, so there is no convection or air circulation in the room; an advantage that is highly valued by people with allergies or asthma. The heat radiation is focused directly on the range radius of each infrared and the heat intensity can be controlled as desired with the different power levels of the various infrared heaters available.
Occasional use both indoors and outdoors.
Infrared heaters are compact, safe and economical. They are a perfect solution for occasional use, both for indoor areas such as toilets, bathrooms or garages, as well as for outdoor areas such as terraces, balconies, gazebos or patios, always out of the direct reach of rain or snow.
In addition, some models incorporate a remote control for greater convenience in use.
Clean heating
Finally, we must not forget that this is an electric heating system, so it does not emit gases of any kind in its operation, something that does occur in other individual heating systems such as gas cookers.
