How Does
Radiant Heating Work?
Heating
Objects Rather than the Air
Unlike warm air heating that blows out high temperature heated air, radiant heating systems
utilise electromagnetic waves
to heat people and objects. These waves do not heat the air as they travel
through it; instead, it is the objects and people that have absorbed the
radiant energy that warm the air via convection as air passes across those warm
objects.
These
objects then act like heat reservoirs, storing the warmth and releasing it via
re-radiation and convection - much like how the Sun heats our planet.
This
methodology uses significantly less energy to heat the area at occupant level
when compared with more traditional systems, and as there is no need for
ceiling fans to push the heat towards the floor, you reduce electricity usage.
Reducing
Your Building’s Heat Loss
As radiant
heating helps to warm the space at occupant level, heat stratification - which
is where the warm air rises to the ceiling - can be significantly reduced. The
higher the temperature of the air at ceiling level, the more energy you are
losing from your building, so by ensuring you maintain lower ceiling
temperatures you can reduce building heat loss, which in turn means you will
require less energy to heat the space in the first place.
Radiant
heaters are extremely beneficial to greenhouses, garages, workshops, warehouses
as well as any other business that utilises shutters or doors that may need to be open for
extended periods.
Radiant Heaters are ideal when considering
Garden Centre Heating
Alternatively,
any other industrial or commercial premises that require doors, or shutters to
be open for significant periods throughout the day.
