Radiant Heating Units Information

Radiant Heating units are manufactured assemblies designed to provide comfort heating through radiant heat transfer. Heated infrared rays are radiated from an electric or fuel-fired assembly until they are absorbed by objects - floors, people, furniture, etc., - which then transfer heat to the surrounding area.

Radiation is the transmission of heat through space by means of electromagnetic waves. Heat energy passes through the air between the source and the heated body without heating the intervening air.

Typical applications:

• Warehouses, workshops, greenhouses, garages and showrooms
• Toll booths, transportation waiting areas and aircraft hangars
• Atriums
• Animal confinement buildings
• Pump stations
