About advantages and technical features of glass infrared heaters

Infrared heating devices have long and successfully found their use in apartments, houses, warehouses and office buildings. Their efficient direction of heat to a certain zone is more profitable than the full heating of the entire room. In this sense, the glass infrared heater PION (infrared ceiling heaters of the new generation) is not only profitable, but can perfectly fit into any interior.

Infrared heaters are by far the most economical and functional. Especially IR devices containing basically laminated tempered glass as a heating element.

Specifications

Appliances of this type, converting electricity into heat,able to warm the air almost instantly from the moment of their inclusion in the grid. The work of most heating devices is based on the circulation of cold and warm air. But in these devices is completely different heating principle.

They work on the principle of solar heating of our planet, using long-wave infrared rays and heating the surrounding objects, from which heat is transferred to the air.

These devices, consuming little electric energy, give a lot of heat to our surroundings. Most often they are installed in the ceiling of the rooms or on the walls. Moreover, entering the room they can not immediately see. Imperceptible to the eye (sometimes made in the form the pictures or decorative plates) they not only warm up the room well, but also serve as interior decoration.

These heaters have excellent technical characteristics:

1. Low weight (about 3-3.5 kg) contributes to easy installation of the device on the ceiling or walls.
2. Compact relatively small size (835x18x23 mm).
3. The body is a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy.
4. Heat-resistant tempered glass with a special coating is used as a heating element.
5. They also have a thermostat for adjusting the temperature.
6. The power of household glass IR devices usually 600-700 watts.

For bathrooms, special infrared heaters of the mirror type are now being produced, which can be perfectly combined with any design and be safe in a damp room.

Where and how best to post

IR glass heaters are most often installed on the ceilingto have a larger radius of heating the room. They have a very high degree of protection, are not afraid of moisture, they can be placed in the kitchen, bathroom, on the terrace. But for design purposes, they can be installed on the walls. They can be a plate with a painted image, drawings or paintings.

These devices are quite unpretentious, they can be located in various places, for example:

1. On the ceiling, a single structure or a composition of several devices (for large areas of the room).
2. On the walls in the form of decorative plates (they can be embedded or simply mounted, but with the condition of location not lower than 2 m from the floor level).

If the device is located on the ceiling, it will give more heat, as the downward IR rays will cover a larger space of the room. In this case, the glass plates can be selected in the color of the ceiling so that they are more invisible.

When choosing a wall option, the efficiency of warming up the room will be somewhat lower, but in this case there is room for creativity, the embodiment of interesting design ideas.

The advantages of glass infrared heaters include:

1. Long service life (at least 25 years).
2. Their efficiency reaches almost 100% due to the use of laminated tempered glass as a heating element.
3. The thickness of the devices is not more than 2.5 cm, which makes them invisible to the eye.
4. They are silent in operation.
5. Due to their low weight, they can be mounted on any surfaces (the kit always includes the appropriate fasteners).
6. Many models differ in shape, design and even the color of glass transparent or frosted plates.

About the safety of these devices

Glass IR heating devices are environmentally friendly and completely safe:

1. They do not dry the air and do not change its microflora.
2. These devices with their infrared radiation have a positive effect on the healing of the body.
3. They do not produce noise and do not emit any combustion products.
4. They are not fragile and do not require special care.

Recommendations

1. It is not necessary to mount these devices in front of windows or doors, otherwise all the heat can go outside.
2. Mount them on a mandatory basis not lower than 2 m from the floor level.
3. Due to the significant heating of the device, the close proximity with curtains, curtains and other inflammable objects is not recommended.

Hardened laminated glass used in heaters of this type consists of layers having a different structure, for example:

1. Reflective layers that provide the appropriate direction of infrared radiation.
2. Layers with a decorative coating.
3. Heating layers that serve as a source of radiation.
4. A layer of durable tempered glass, not afraid of shocks, etc.

Glass IR heaters are much cheaper and more economical than gas or electric boilers, they are safe and environmentally friendly. They are easy to install and create a unique design.These devices can evenly warm large areas without burning oxygen or emitting harmful substances.
