What is Infrared Heating?

Infrared heating is a method of heat transfer that uses infrared radiation to warm objects and people directly, rather than heating the surrounding air. It works similarly to how the sun warms the Earth, emitting electromagnetic waves in the infrared spectrum.This is different from conventional heating systems, which rely on convection to heat the air and then warm up the room. 

How It Works:

1. Infrared Radiation: Infrared heaters emit electromagnetic waves in the infrared spectrum, similar to the warmth of the sun. These waves travel through the air and heat surfaces they come into contact with.
2. Direct Heat Transfer: Instead of warming the air, infrared heat is absorbed by objects, walls, and people, which then slowly release the heat back into the environment.
3. Types of Infrared Heaters:
   • Near-infrared (shortwave): High-intensity heat, often used in outdoor patios or industrial applications.
   • Mid-infrared (medium wave): Moderate heat output, used in commercial and domestic settings.
   • Far-infrared (longwave): Gentle, comfortable heat, commonly used in home heating panels and saunas.

Infrared heating is widely used in homes, outdoor spaces, and industrial applications due to its efficiency and direct heating capabilities.
