WHY IS INFRARED HEATING A REASONABLE CHOICE?

Infrared heating is a sustainable, electrically powered form of heating compared to heating systems based on fossil fuels or biomass. An important difference between infrared heating and other forms of heating is that infrared radiation does not heat the air (convection) but rather a substance or solids. People, building walls and furniture thus absorb heat from the infrared radiation and release it evenly into the space to be heated. Despite the lower room temperature, this creates significantly more comfort for the people in the room, as pleasant heat is received from all directions and not from circulating warm air. This makes it particularly suitable for allergy sufferers and asthmatics, as it does not circulate dust with the air mass.

Infrared heaters are extremely durable (like all electrical installations), completely maintenance-free, without heat loss, and installation takes place in a few simple steps.

Here are some good and responsible reasons to choose infrared heating:

  • A sustainable alternative to the use of fossil fuels and biomass
  • Energy savings of 10-20%
  • Clean and healthy indoor air thanks to thermal radiation
  • Maintenance-free heating metho

DIFFERENT TYPES OF INFRARED RADIATION

ETHERMA and SOLAMAGIC create technical radiant heaters that utilize efficient infrared radiation as an optimal heat source. This allows us to offer you the right heating solution for a variety of needs and applications, utilizing different wavelength ranges. Our products therefore utilize the strengths of different wavelength ranges for the application that suits you best.

The products in our product range differ from each other in terms of wavelengths.

Short-wave infrared radiation (IR-A)

Medium-wave infrared radiation (IR-B)

Long-wave infrared radiation (IR-C)

A HEATING SOLUTION FOR EVERY NEED

In general, our products can be divided into short-wave, medium-wave and long-wave infrared radiation according to their operating principle and intended use. In order to make optimal use of the technology and the different wavelengths, ETHERMA and SOLAMAGIC have developed innovative heating solutions for each wavelength range. Our products exploit the advantages of highly efficient infrared technology to ensure that the right heating solution is available in every situation, for every need.

SHORT-WAVE INFRARED RADIATION (IR-A)

Short infrared rays (IR-A) in infrared heaters are generated due to the high temperatures of the heating element. Due to their wavelength, they penetrate the air mass extremely efficiently, so they hardly react to the movement of the air mass and immediately produce an effective feeling of warmth when they reach a person. This is why our electric heat radiators are perfect for outdoor use. Since their wavelength is close to the visible light spectrum, they usually glow slightly reddish or orange.

MID-WAVE INFRARED RADIATION (IR-B)

Medium-wave radiators (IR-B), on the other hand, do not produce light and are perfectly suited for various indoor spaces where heat is needed. The longer the wavelength of infrared radiation, the less it penetrates the skin, as they can be produced at lower temperatures. The infrared thermal radiation produced by our products in all its forms is completely safe. Discover the ETHERMA LAVA DESK ZONE workstation heater.

The state-of-the-art SOLAMAGIC AIR+ and ETHERMA EXO DARK glass patio heaters for glazed spaces utilize IR-A and IR-B infrared radiation, producing particularly soft and pleasant heat and providing no light at all.

LONG-WAVE INFRARED RADIATION (IR-C)

The longer the infrared rays, the less they penetrate the skin, because they can be produced in the device at lower temperatures. Our Etherma LAVA® heating panels , which produce long-wave infrared radiation, are designed to heat living spaces efficiently. The heat radiation is evenly distributed directly through the heated surface of the heating panels.

Infrared heat has also been used in healthcare for many years, such as in infrared saunas or red light treatments.

SAVE A LOT OF MONEY WITH ETHERMA HEATING PANELS

Infrared heaters have high energy efficiency compared to other heating systems, because they produce the required heat in the space to be heated, unlike, for example, a water-circulating heating system, where water flows from the boiler through pipes to the radiators, causing waste heat. ETHERMA Heating Panels guarantee you a permanent reduction in heating costs due to better utilization of thermal energy. Due to the direct heat radiation of the infrared heater, residents experience the room temperature to be two to three degrees warmer than it actually is. As a result, infrared heaters require less heating power compared to other heating systems and at the same time manage with shorter operating times. In addition to saving the energy used, you also have the opportunity to heat more consciously and responsibly.

Because a one degree lower room temperature means approximately 6% less energy consumption and thus lower heating costs. After all, approximately 40% of carbon dioxide emissions in Europe still come from heating systems. Investing in sustainable, efficient and modern ETHERMA heating systems brings numerous benefits to the user and actively contributes to a better future for our children and grandchildren.
