In any home, comfort is always important and, above all, thermal comfort. A house that is too hot or too cold needs quick investment to make up for the shortcomings. And one of the new and increasingly popular solutions for home heating is the use of radiant panels.
They work with a technology that emits infrared radiation, a technology also used in the case of underfloor heating, instantaneous hot water boilers and central heating systems. Before we look at how infrared radiation works, it should be noted that it is not dangerous to the human body.
How infrared radiant panels work
For a clear idea of how infrared heating works, just imagine going outside on a cool but sunny day. The sun's rays warm you more than the air around you, and this is due to infrared radiation. This process is also applied to radiant panels, where a high amount of heat is generated, while less energy is used, this time, electricity.
Electricity passes through a panel that contains high quality materials such as copper and nickel, but also some products through modern technologies such as carbon fiber and nano silver. The process generates long-wave infrared radiation, similar to the sun's rays.
These radiations pass through the air in a room without affecting it, and heat the surfaces they hit, whether it's furniture or walls, or people. In turn, they emit heat further.
Therefore, infrared waves are absorbed by matter in the same way that our bodies absorb heat generated by the sun, regardless of air temperature. Unlike underfloor heating, conventional heating systems (whether heating or heating) are based on heating the air in a room.
Types of radiant panels
Depending on the area in which they are used for heating, the radiant panels are of two types:
● Interior radiant panels. They are the most common models and can be used to heat living rooms, apartments and houses, but also in office buildings or other enclosed spaces.
● Exterior radiant panels. They are mainly installed in open spaces, intended for leisure, such as the terraces of bars or houses, in gazebos or even on the balcony of an apartment, if it is spacious enough to allow the optimal operation of such a panel.
● Radiant wall panel. It is the standard version. The radiant panel is fixed to the wall at a medium height and, as technology allows, can be masked in a decorative object, so the visual impact will be much more pleasant.
● Radiant ceiling panel. Unlike radiant wall panels, those that are installed on the ceiling are recommended primarily for offices or other more spacious rooms. An ordinary apartment is about 2.5 meters high, and a panel installed on the ceiling will not cover an area as large as a wall.
It is important to note that the height at which the ceiling panels are mounted influences the surface they cover. The higher they are, the lower the heat intensity, and their power is spread over a larger area.
Typically, a panel mounted at a height of three meters provides a radiant field of six meters. In order to always achieve maximum efficiency, the manufacturer's instructions must be followed exactly.
The advantages of radiant panel heating
One of the major benefits of infrared heating comes from the way it works. Unlike conventional heat sources, which only heat the air, infrared panels heat the walls. This means that they remain dry, because the thermal energy accumulates in them and in the floors, which has the effect of reducing condensation.
In the long run, infrared heating helps to prevent the spread of mold in the home.
In addition, conventional radiators heat the air in the room, and the convection currents that appear as a result of this process move the dust particles in the room. The air does not move in the case of infrared heating, so radiant panels are the ideal solution for people with asthma.
Here are some other equally important benefits:
● Radiant panels are very easy to use, and no major changes are required in the home to install them. They are powered by electricity and a socket is enough for this, and the assembly is done quickly and cleanly.
● They are compact, take up little space and can also be used as decorations. There are many manufacturers that mask radiant panels in paintings or mirrors that can then be mounted anywhere.
