Far Infrared (FIR) Electric Heaters
Did you know that the quickest, healthiest and most energy efficient way is to keep warm in the winter months with a far infrared (FIR) electric heating? Even if the current market is characterized by more conventional heating methods, the future of home heating shows clearly dominates in the direction of the FIR.
A conventional electric heater works by heating the air in a room. The warm air touches our skin and we feel warm. Most of the feeling of warmth thatwe receive is from the skin surface temperature. This surface heat penetrates into our body. Finally, we are warm through and through. But we are in the chain are modified heated by a conventional electric heater. First, the air is heated, then our skin, our inner life is. This may take some time. The indoor air temperature does not mean very much if we were chilled to the bone. We can shivering quite a while before the heat penetrates into ourNuclei. Another problem with a conventional electric furnace, the heated air rises to the top of the room. Pretty much the only way to get it down and return to heat again by a fan to circulate the air. Despite the popularity of this type of electric heating in the houses around the world, it is very inefficient and costly.
An infrared electric heating system works on an entirely different and superior principle. The infrared – Energy emitted by these heaters penetrates straight to us and our inner life directly heated. This is especially true of an infrared electric heating, on the other end of the IR-band (5.6 to 1000 microns is) active. This far infrared (FIR) energy can directly penetrate up to 2 inches below the surface of our skin. FIR energy causes the water and organic material to vibrate and thereby causes heat. Since the majority of the human body consists of water, an FIR > Electric heater warms us directly and avoid unnecessary energy heating the air. Finally, the air is warmed by radiant heat from us, but it is last in the chain to get the heat. An FIR electric heater is more energy efficient than conventional heaters. It will give us warmer faster. Plus tests have shown that FIR heat the room with an even distribution of warmth throughout the room. There is no need for a fan to move the air.
The most famous IR> Heating of all is of course the sun. Have you ever stood in the sun on a cold winter day and felt warm, then walked a few yards away in the shadows and it felt cold? This is a perfect example of the infrared energy at work keeps us warm. The air temperature was exactly the same in the sun and shade. But it felt warmer in the sun, as were the IR-rays penetrate directly into you and warms you.
If you buy an FIR electric heater was notFear that you are bombarded with harmful radiation. IR energy is good for you. It is the UV rays of the sun, are at the other end of the spectrum that are bad for you.
