While the sun is a terrific source of infrared heat, it also delivers damaging UV rays, which leads some people to falsely conclude that the same problem applies to infrared heaters.

The ultimate source of radiated heat is the sun, which generates vast amounts of infrared heat through gas consumption. This infrared heat passes directly through space, but it warms the surface of the earth and is, in fact, the energy source that makes life possible on earth. On a sunny day in winter the sun’s warmth comforts us even though the air around us is below comfort temperature.

A thermostat shuts off the infrared heaters when the desired air temperature is reached. Better results are achieved with a thermostat that measures both the air and the mean radiant temperature to provide true comfort temperature. This special feature is offered exclusively by the Schwank TruTemp setback thermostat, that also has an automatic temperature set-back when it senses that the building is unoccupied.

By conduction through solid bodies, such as through a windowpane in your heated house to the (cold) outside. The rate of heat transfer by conduction is proportional to the temperature difference and the conductivity of the material through which the heat travels. Through convection by warming air and moving the warmed air to a cooler area.

Definitely safe! The same type of heat has been used in hospitals for new born babies for over 30 years. Far Infrared is everywhere; it's essential for our well-being and is easily absorbed into our bodies providing numerous health benefits. So infrared saunas are safe.

Yes! Physiotherapists have been using this technology for years. Have you ever gone to a physiotherapist with a sprain and they put that 'heat lamp' on it - well that's infrared. Far infrared is from the safest end of the spectrum. It's also something we generate ourselves in our own bodies. When you put your hands together and the palms heat up - that's infrared. When starting out, remain inside no longer than 30 minutes at a time. Those in good health may extend this to 50 minutes, in time.

John Jones and I designed his heating source around the three most important consumer benefits: economy, comfort, and safety. The final development of this infrared quartz heat source cannot be matched by any other heating system in the world. In the SunTwin system, electricity is used to generate infrared light which, in turn, creates a very safe heat. Infrared is the safest form of heat because it does not create carbon monoxide or harmful radiation.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about how infrared heat warms a broiler chicken or a broiler house. Infrared heat is the kind of heat that comes from a glowing brooder. It is the same kind of heat that we experience when we stand in front of a fire on a cold winter day. Even though the air temperature between our bodies and the fire is cold we still receive warmth from the glow of the fire.

Gas-fired infrared heaters are mounted overhead to direct infrared energy to the floor and the objects, including people, at the occupancy level of the building. The infrared energy is absorbed by the floor and objects at floor level - all of which become warm and in turn heat the air in the building. Moreover, the floor and objects continue to release heat to the air, even after cold air is introduced or the infrared heaters are turned off.

Yes, heating oil is safe for your home or business. Here's a little known fact for you; heating oil at room temperature can extinguish a flame as quickly as water. Please don't try this at home, however.

Waterbed heating comprises a heating mat and an adjustable thermostat. The heating mat is installed under the watermattress and is connected to the thermostat, which is sited outside the bed. Good heating elements have a heat sensor built into the element itself and are electrically safeguarded. It is best to choose a European heating element because these are specifically designed for 240 volts, rather than being a modification of the American 110 volts.

Home heating oil has very low emissions and are about the same as those from similar-size gas burners. NOCO Energy Corporation offers new state of the art home heating oil units that make it even more energy efficient and environment friendly.

Infrared is one of the many forms of light on the electromagnetic spectrum that are not visible to the human eye. The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. Infrared light waves are longer than visible light waves, and shorter than microwaves. An independent study was conducted in August 2000 by the United States Department of Health and Human Services regarding the safety of infrared light.

I have rosacea and VERY sensitive skin. I found that the DPL System is so powerful that I needed to reduce my treatments to 4-5 minutes to prevent a flare-up. I also found it helps to apply a damp cloth to my skin after each treatment. And be sure to start with clean skin...lotions could heat up and cause a problem.

Yes, DII is non-invasive, does not use radiation, breast contact or compression, and poses absolutely no harm to the patient whatsoever.

People feel good when warmed by radiant heat – like the warm feeling on a gray day when the sun breaks through the clouds. Panels are lightweight, one inch thick and can be installed either inconspicuously or as an architectural feature. Each room can be controlled by its own thermostat, heating only the space in which heat is desired, just like electric lighting. Enerjoy panels operate on the same principle as the way the sun heats the earth, naturally and comfortably.

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.
