How local businesses can benefit from infrared radiant panel heaters

Businesses always need to be looking for ways to improve cashflow, their operating environment and even look after the environment. Advancements in technology is usually the easiest way to see and utilise these improvements. Infrared radiant panel heaters offer an exciting opportunity for all businesses.

What are infrared radiant panel heaters?

You’ve heard of infrared, it’s the rays that come from the sun and warm the planet. In fact, infrared is a form of electromagnetic pulse. When the wavelength is between 0.78 and 1000 microns it is considered to emit heat.

To provide context, the human body radiates approximately 9 microns. Any object that radiates more than 9 microns will feel warm to the touch, it will feel like you are being warmed by the sun’s rays.

Infrared radiant panel heaters use the latest technology to convert gas into infrared rays. These rays are then emitted from the panel and will warm any object in front them. That includes humans.

The rays warm the object and are then bounced on, in time they can heat the air although that is not their initial intention.

Perhaps the best part of this technology is the ability to maintain a steady heat. Companies like Infragas have developed exciting new ways to convert the heat using catalytic emitters. This ensures the heat is consistent, making it possible to use it in a huge array of settings.

The temperature of the radiant panel surface dictates the wavelength of the electromagnetic pulse. In effect, the higher the temperature the broader the wave and the further it will travel. Of course, that does mean it won’t be as hot at a distance. Like all waves, it loses potency the further you get from the panel.

How can they be used in local business?

Infrared radiant panel heaters can be used in small businesses such as shops and offices, the rays will give you instant warm and several positioned properly can warm the office space by warming individuals.

It’s more efficient and effective than using conventional heating systems.

But, the real benefit to businesses is using the infrared rays to create a wall of consistent heat. You simply set the temperature you want the surface of the panel to be and then position objects asset distance from the heaters. In this way, the radiant panels can effectively dry a variety of products, from powder coating to paint, or even dehydrate products effectively.

The system is efficient and hygienic. You can even add ventilation systems to effectively distribute the heat generated.

It’s worth noting that although there are electric radiant panels, these are more likely to have component issues. Gas is a better choice and because it is flameless it is very safe.

Final thoughts

If you are a business looking to save money while drying products or even keeping staff warm, then the infrared radiant panel heaters are worth taking a look at. The fact that they are also environmentally friendly is a bonus!
