Schwank infrared heaters meet the strict European standards for efficiency and hence give you far more heat for your money. Our mission is to deliver the best in commercial and industrial heating solutions at the lowest life-cycle cost. Many North American manufacturers have attempted to capture market share by designing and building inexpensive, low efficiency infra-heaters that meet the minimum requirements of North American standards.

well as utilizing modern materials and technologies in construction of the heater, Schwank ensures that your infrared heating system is properly designed. Properly sized and placed heaters, will reduce fuel consumption by 30 to 60%, compared to a conventional heating system. A bad design utilizing a smaller number of large capacity units, mounted at maximum heights, produces inadequate comfort and higher operating costs that far exceed any savings on the purchase\installation price.

Yes, engineering studies supported by ASHRAE have determined that using standard infrared heaters the total BTU input of a heating system can be reduced by up to 15% compared to calculated design heat losses. Tests performed by a certified independent laboratory confirm primoSchwank and supraSchwank radiant efficiencies in the 65 to 82% range. This means the total BTU input with Schwank heaters can be reduced from 27% to 41%, depending on the Schwank infrared heater employed. See similar questions...

Yes. You also have the added advantage of choosing the model lines and performance level that suits your budget. Moreover, the unmatched efficiency of Schwank heaters means you get quick payback. Remember, the full life-cycle cost of a heating system includes the purchase price, the fuel cost, and maintenance costs. In fact, the first-year fuel cost usually represents more than 30% of the total cost. See similar questions...

Most FIR sauna heater elements are steel-coated. Steel coating is an older technology that directs the heat source but requires more time to warm up, operates at higher temperatures, and uses more energy to reach the level necessary for deep tissue penetration. Now, ceramic-coated heater elements result in lower temperatures and more efficient energy use. Ceramic-coated FIR heaters produce the same useful energy as the sun at a very safe (.

Most infrared heaters employ gas combustion (propane or natural gas) to heat a steel tube (tube heater) or ceramic surface (luminous heater), which subsequently emits infrared heat. It’s important to note how much infrared heat is emitted. You should also be aware that an infrared heater produces both infrared radiant heat (that is directed at people and objects) and convection heat that rises and is for the most part lost.

This is a matter of personal preference. Infrared heaters will give you an instantaneous sensation of heat on your skin as long as you stay in range of the bulbs or element. Fan forced heaters raise the temperature of the air in the room so it will take longer to feel the heat. You are restricted to the line of sight that radiant heat requires. If you intend to use this as an emergency backup for freeze protection, definitely use a fan forced unit. See similar questions...

There are three components of heater efficiency. First is the efficiency of converting input energy to any kind of heat. Electric heaters are 100% efficient and gas heaters, due to stack losses and other issues are around 90% efficient. Next is the efficiency of producing radiant, or infrared energy. The higher the temperature (intensity) of the heater, the higher the efficiency. See similar questions...

No. There could be significant differences in the infrared output, based on the burner material, configuration, operating temperature, mounting angles, combustion air input and reflector design. For example, on average, more than 50% of the heat generated by infrared heaters is convection heat, and in some inferior models the percentage of convection heat is as high as 65%.

HotZONE™ heaters fitted with IRLensesTM increase the amount of infrared energy in the central beam by 3 to 5X that of a conventional heater by "stealing " the energy from the shoulders of the radiation pattern. There is a sharp cutoff between the hot beam and the cold shoulders. See similar questions...

Answer: All heating systems must heat outside air entering the building via natural infiltration. The Cambridge system manages infiltration by supplying more BTUs per cfm than other heating systems. Additionally, with Cambridge heaters there is no flue loss as with other indirect-fired equipment. See similar questions...

Ans. Both types that is infrared and forced hot air heating system uses different method to create a comfortable temperature. Infra-red heats the air by using all three methods of heat transfer: radiation, conduction and convection. In other heating unit, the hot air rises to the ceiling and stratifies. It gradually work its way down to thermostat level hence the the floor slab never becomes warm enough to be comfortable. See similar questions...

The LeveLuk uses five titanium anodized electrodes. The surface area of the electrodes is the largest in the industry. The LeveLuk SD 501 offers seven titanium anodized electrodes.The surface area of the electrodes is the largest in the industry. See similar questions...

Cold air from infiltration falls. Cold air from conduction falls. Floor temperature falls in temperature by radiant loss to that of the average surface temperature. Your floors will be cold ( 50° F is not uncommon) unless you heat them no matter how well you insulate. See similar questions...

Competition is within colleges. If you are a College of Sciences student, you compete with other students in your college to win prizes for Oral and Poster Presentations. First place Poster Presentations from each school then compete with other first place Poster presentations for the Grand Prize of $1000. There is no grand prize or inter-college competition for oral presentations. See similar questions...

Much like Bluetooth Infrared (IR) wireless data transmission is also employed in short-range communication among personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, FAPtops, PCs and printers. Its main differentiation from Bluetooth is that IR is a line sight communications technology, meaning that the two device IR transceivers must have plain line of sight in order to communicate.

Pure ceramic. There is a hair-thin wire filament running through it. Our Pure ceramic heaters are made specifically for SaunaRay. They have a concave shape which allows the edges to fan-out the waves and the heat to cover a larger area. The Stainless steel reflectors are mirrored and made out of 100% surgical grade stainless steel. They reflect the far infrared heat even wider, ensuring a complete 360 degree coverage inside. You are surrounded by far infrared heat! See similar questions...
