Infrared heating is a technology used to transfer heat through the emission of infrared radiation. This type of heating is highly efficient, as it directly warms objects and individuals within its range, rather than heating the air. Electric infrared heaters are categorized into three types based on their predominant emitted infrared wavelength: short wave, medium wave, and long wave. Element operating temperatures determine the wavelength of radiant energy from the heater, with higher temperature creating shorter infrared wavelengths, and more visible light. Each type has specific characteristics and applications that make it suitable for different environments.

Short Wave Infrared heaters

Short wave infrared heaters emit radiation at a wavelengths typically between 0.76 to 2 microns. These heaters provide instant heat, making them ideal for outdoor applications where rapid heating is required. They are commonly used in outdoor patios, terraces, and for industrial processes such as drying paint and plastics. Due to their higher temperatures, short wave heaters often convert more energy into visible light. The coatings on the tubes of these heaters are designed to reduce or modify the visible light emitted, primarily for aesthetic purposes in certain applications.

Applications

• Outdoor heating areas
• Industrial drying processes
• High-temperature heating needs

Key Advantages of VERTEX Medium Wave Heaters

High Radiant Efficiency

Our VERTEX heaters are engineered to maximize radiant efficiency, which means more input energy is converted into usable heat on the ground. This is achieved by applying our extensive experience in gas-fired heater design, advanced analytical, and experimental techniques as they apply to infrared heating.

Cost-Effective Heating

The design goal of the VERTEX heater was to create an electric radiant heater that allows for cost-effective space heating. This efficiency makes VERTEX an excellent choice for keeping spaces warm without the high energy costs associated with other heating technologies.

Comfort

Unlike short wave heaters that emit a harsher heat, medium wave energy from VERTEX heaters is more completely absorbed by the human body, providing a more comfortable heating experience. This absorption is key to effective space heating and comfort.

Applications

• Commercial spaces
• Residential heating
• Heating for large areas

Long Wave Infrared heaters

Long wave infrared heaters emit radiation at wavelengths above 8 microns, making them ideal for full-room heating in homes and offices where a softer, more diffused heat is desirable. They are the most gentle of the infrared spectrum and are best suited for environments where the heater will be in use for extended periods.

Applications

• Home living spaces
• Office environments
• Areas requiring gentle, sustained warmth
