They are ideal for bars, restaurants, open office spaces where people gather and linger to relax, socialise or work. Our heaters are highly efficient with almost 100% of electrical power converted to heat: 94% through infrared radiation and 6% convection. What is infrared heat? Collapse Infrared heaters, also referred to as radiant heaters, provide warmth in a different way from the other heaters we offer which, primarily, transfer heat to us by means of convection, where the heat energy travels to us via the air flows in a room. Infrared is a type of radiant energy that falls within a specific section of wavelengths within the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Humans cannot see infrared waves but can identify its existence in the form of heat – it’s the warmth you feel when you stand in the sun. Infrared heater elements, the source of the infrared radiant energy, generate this thermal radiation and transmit the waves directly towards objects. When infrared radiation is absorbed by an object, including humans, it heats and its temperature rises. Any object with a temperature above ‘absolute zero’ emits infrared waves, or thermal radiation, due to kinetic energy of molecules within the object…even ice gives off heat in the right temperature conditions! The warmer the object the more energy it emits. The amount of energy radiated by a heater and the wavelengths of this energy is determined by the heater’s temperature. Since infrared energy does not need the air to travel and isn’t carried off by the air, it’s a very efficient way of comfort heating especially in large indoor areas or patios and terraces. What are the different types of infrared heat? Expand Why use medium wave infrared heaters? Expand Do infrared heaters use a lot of electricity? Expand Can infrared heaters be used indoors? Expand Are infrared heaters good outside? Expand Our Infrared Heater Range Our medium wave electric infrared heaters operate in the 1.4 - 3 μm infrared wavelengths and are highly efficient converting almost all the electrical power to heat: 94% through infrared radiation and 6% convection. Their high silicon content quartz bulbs, which encapsulate a high quality metal filament, provide a soft glow and have a lifespan of over 9000 hours. The robust heater bodies in our commercial infrared heaters are constructed of aluminium and the specially designed, high temperature resistant reflectors are anodised aluminium. We stock a range of UFO heaters which you can see below. UFO-S29 horizontal wall or ceiling heater: 2.9kW power with thermostatic controls suitable for use outdoors in canopied patios or terraces as well as indoors. UFO-S23 UK horizontal wall or ceiling heater: 2.3kW power with remote handset controls offering various power and timer settings suitable for use in larger indoor spaces. UFO-T23 portable vertical tower heater: 2.3kW with tip-over safety features and remote handset controls offering various power settings.
