Infrared heat is a non conduction based heating source, meaning that it does not rely on flowing through and heating the air in order to heat a room. Instead, thanks to its shorter wave length; infrared heat penetrates solid objects and persons in a room to heat them directly. This works similarly to the sun’s rays: providing a faster and more efficient way to heat any room when compared to more traditional heating systems.
Infrared technology has a variety of uses in modern society, including area heating and heat therapy. There are three primary types of infrared, defined by wavelength: near-, mid-, and far-infrared. The CZ Infrared Heaters use far-infrared, or thermal infrared wavelengths to produce heat. Far-Infrared also happens to be the wavelength range which provides the most therapeutic effects for the body.
Far-infrared has a similar resonance with water so the water molecules in the body and in the air absorb the far-infrared waves directly and transform the radiant energy into thermal energy or heat.
Using conventional heaters not only uses more energy and costs more to run but they are also hot to the touch and can cause burns or even fires. Because conventional heaters do not heat the water molecules in the air they do not heat the air as quickly and do not penetrate the body until the room is heated. This makes conventional heaters use more energy than infrared heaters to heat an area.
Using an infrared heater gives you a radiant heat that makes you feel warm almost instantly. This is because it heats you, the room and the objects in the room at the speed of light and it does not depend on heating the air in the room first in order for you to feel the warmth. This makes CZ infrared heaters far more efficient than conventional heaters.
To help you understand this better let’s compare infrared heat to the sun’s rays. If you are in a cold room and then step into the sunlight penetrating through the window you feel the warmth of the sun almost instantly as it penetrates your body, even though the temperature of the room hasn’t changed.
However, the sun also emits harmful UV rays which can be damaging to the skin and eyes. Fortunately, with CZ Infrared heaters you will not have this problem. Due to the infrared wavelength, these heaters do not cause any harm to the body. In fact, infrared heat produced by CZ Infrared heaters may provide numerous therapeutic benefits for the body. Keep in mind that this may not be true for ALL infrared heating systems. Some may use wavelengths which can produce harmful radiation.
Another unique property of infrared heat that makes it so efficient and effective is that the heat is distributed evenly throughout the space and from floor to ceiling. The infrared waves heat the water molecules in the air directly and quickly, and because water molecules are more dense than air, the heat stays more evenly distributed throughout the room. Also, water and objects retain heat longer than air, so the heat is not lost as quickly through poor insulation, windows, doors and cracks. Dry heated air produced by conventional heaters rises to the ceiling, leaving the air cooler closer to the floor and does not disperse evenly, leaving cold pockets. The heated air is quickly dissipated through widows, doors, cracks and gaps, so a conventional heater has to work much harder to keep the room at a constant temperature than an infrared heater, making conventional heating methods less efficient and less effective.
And, unlike conventional heaters which dry the air–leading to cold pockets and quickly rising heat that escapes through cracks and gaps–infrared heat maintains the humidity in the air, allowing warmth to stay inside where it belongs. This makes CZ infrared heaters far more efficient in both time and money; as well as maintaining a healthier air quality throughout your home. In addition, CZ infrared heaters do not reach combustible temperatures or burn away the oxygen in the air. This keeps the oxygen levels stable, preventing oxygen deprivation symptoms like fatigue and lethargy.
