With their ability to provide efficient and comfortable warmth through infrared radiation or heated fluids, radiant panels are gaining popularity among homeowners and businesses seeking energy-efficient and effective heating systems. But what are radiant panels, and how do they work?
Radiant Panel Heaters Work
Electric heat panels, also known as infrared radiant heat panels, convert electrical energy into infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum. It has a wavelength longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves and microwaves.
Infrared radiation can be seen as heat or thermal radiation. Infrared radiation is the direct transfer of energy from one thing to another without warming up the air. Like sunlight, it’ll warm you up if you stand near it. But unlike sunlight, infrared doesn’t cause any damage to your skin.
Carbon Fiber Radiant Panels
Carbon fibre panel heaters use electrically conductive carbon fibres to generate radiant heat. They emit infrared radiation that warms objects and people in the room. Carbon fibre radiant panel heaters provide a quick heating response and are known for their energy efficiency.
Convection Radiant Panels
Convection radiant panels are a variant of radiant heat panels that incorporate convection heating technology. These panels combine radiant heat’s benefits with the additional convective airflow feature.
The panels emit radiant heat and create a gentle air circulation within the yoga studio. This airflow helps to distribute the warmth more effectively, ensuring an even temperature throughout the space.
