Heat-On Heating Systems - far infrared heating explained

Heat-On far infrared heaters can be installed directly to the ceiling or as can be seen here they are suspended down to a more optimum height around 3.0m above the floor.

The heaters are not directly space heating the air. What the heaters are actually doing is transferring thermal heating energy into the floor and surrounding walls. Once enough heat energy is absorb by the building and it's furnishings - its the floor and the walls that actually heat and increase the ambient room temperature. This all happens very quickly as the invisible heating waves travel at the speed of light.




The benefits of having the heaters suspended lower is that the required system output capacity is reduced. For example this is a 92m2 room with 4.5m high ceilings and we are able to heat it with only 75W/m2. This is a total output of only 6.9kW per room or 28Amps.

This is a very efficient and effective way of space heating especially for large areas with high ceilings.

Oh ya and how can the house not act as a dome the same as the dome on my infrared cooker in the kitchen?

[Tomolowicz]

If your house was made from Aluminium and completely sealed and you blasted it with an equivalent of something like 100kW of Infrared heat it would also heat to 100 Degree Celsius!

part 2 of 2 My husband says its because the heat dries out the air. I keep thinking that because we can cook with this type of heat and i have a cooker for that too that the heaters could somehow cook us sort of like a microwave only without the radiation. I mean if the sun is hot enough it can cook an egg on the concrete right? so whats to say these heaters are not cooking us? How do we know its not happening

[Tomolowicz]

Our heaters produce a specific heat range between 9-14 micron meters - this thermal range does not engage with the humidity molecules in the air and therefore does not change (dry) the air.

Part 1 of 2 Hi , We have 2 of the infrared heaters from the commercial that the omish people put out. We have had them for a few years and used them several times when the wheather was so cold out that our regular heater could not keep up with keeping the house warm. Every time we have used this heat I get a headache..

[Tomolowicz]

This type of system needs to be accurately specified for every building. FIR is designed for very well insulated buildings with minimal leakage. That way you won't get a headache due to the panels cycling at a high percentage (On Time). On times per hour should be down below 65% if correctly specified.

[Tomolowicz]

Our bodies absorb this heat type of heat exceptionally well. It would depend on the absorption coefficient of the materials in your home, these could then be compared to the abs. coeff. of human skin to determine if our bodies in fact absorb more or less than your walls.

[Tomolowicz]

The first and most important certificate is what is known as the "EMC compliance certificate". This is "Electromagnetic Compatibility" every single electronic product in the world requires to be thoroughly tested before being able to go to market to ensure the product does not produce any unsafe/harmful frequencies.

[Tomolowicz]

The wavelength/frequency that is produced by our heating panels is within a very narrow and specific thermal range. This makes it exceptionally safe. Significantly safer than any mobile telephone device or television set (which produce a range of complex frequencies - these devices are usually placed directly against the head in close proximity to the brain).

ps why dont our bodies obsorb the heat the way the walls do. We obsorb the suns heat dont we? anyway please help really freaked out over this stuff and cant find anything about it.
