Infrared heater for the bathroom

Infrared heaters are called such heaters, which warm the environment through directed infrared rays. Also, such devices are called reflectors or heat radiation devices.

Heating the room in this way is much more efficient than with convection heaters: convector devices first heat all the air in the room, including the air under the ceiling (which is not used), and only then heats the surrounding objects. Infrared heaters heat objects first and then the air. The surface of the objects targeted by the infrared rays absorbs the radiant energy, converts it into heat energy, and then transfers it to the air. This makes it possible to heat a certain area of the room quickly and efficiently.

• All varieties of infrared type heaters work from electricity on the principle of the sun, that is, they do not heat the air itself, but the surrounding things or people around them.
• The bodies of such devices for heating are made of metal or vitrified clay. The main part of infrared heaters is the emitter, which is located inside the case. It spreads the infrared rays. The heating part is a tubular electric heater or an electric open coil. Those heaters with an open coil, which are designed for use in residential areas, are equipped with additional protective metal mesh.
