DetailsComparing the construction of our panels with the competition is such an important topic that we describe it in detail in the tab dedicated to the construction of heating panels
DetailsOur heaters do not have built-in thermostats because it is the worst possible solution
DetailsWhen we think of traditional heating methods, what comes to mind is that directly heating air is subject to thermodynamics, which means that the heated air is directed upwards. Installing conventional radiators and heaters on the ceiling would therefore make no sense. Such a heating system would be neither effective nor efficient.
DetailsUm über die Infrarotheizung sprechen zu können, erwärmt sich die Oberfläche unserer Paneele auf 105°C. Einerseits sorgt es für die Abgabe von Wellenwärme, andererseits erfüllt es die europäische Norm für Haushaltsheizgeräte.
DetailsZum Heizen von Wohn- und Büroräumen und generell überall dort, wo ganze Räume beheizt werden sollen, kommen Langwelligenstrahler zum Einsatz – Infrarot-Heizungen, die angenehme Streuwärme abgeben, die sich im Raum ausbreitet.
DetailsJe nachdem auf welche Temperatur sich der Strahler erwärmt, unterscheiden wir Kurz-, Mittel- und Langwelligestrahler.
DetailsEine Infrarotheizung ist ein Gerät, das beim Aufheizen auf eine bestimmte Temperatur Wärme als Infrarotwelle, also Wellenwärme, abgibt.
DetailsDie Infrarotwelle ist ein Teil des Sonnenspektrums, das von der Sonne zur Erde gelangt und für das Wärmegefühl verantwortlich ist. Indem wir Licht an einem Wassertropfen streuen, so entsteht ein Regenbogen, sehen wir verschiedene Farben, eine davon ist rot, und was darunter liegt, also eine andere Wellenlänge, ist Infrarot. Sie ist für uns unsichtbar, aber wir empfinden sie als Wärme.
DetailsThe operation of the heater is controlled by a thermostat equipped with an air temperature sensor. Depending on the temperature set on the thermostat, they switch the heating on/off.
DetailsWe definitely recommend this solution because then we can independently regulate the temperature in each room. At night we can maintain a different, comfortable temperature in each bedroom, and the temperature in other rooms can be lowered. During the day, the opposite is true – the temperature is lower in the bedrooms, while in the living room, where the household members spend the afternoon, we can maintain a higher temperature, which we lower again after leaving the living room.
DetailsThe panels are single-phase devices, the thermostat is connected in such a way that the power cable is passed “through” the thermostat. Of course, the appropriate connection diagrams are supplied with every thermostat.
DetailsThis of course corresponds to the current trend of the smart home. One such option is the use of a cell phone and now it does not involve high costs. The thermostats with the WiFi control function now do not cost much more than thermostats without such a function.
DetailsHanging the panels with the mounting brackets included in the set is very easy, just need to drill 4 holes. However, connecting thermostats requires electrical qualifications or some technical skills.
DetailsWe always recommend mounting the panels on the ceiling if possible. When mounted on the ceiling, the heaters disappear from view, the walls are not covered with panels, and when mounted on the ceiling, the heat is distributed very evenly throughout the room, reaches the floor first and increases its temperature in a pleasant way. When installing panels on the ceiling, try to arrange them as evenly as possible so that they look nice and symmetrical on the ceiling. If there is only one heater intended for a certain room, we of course first mount the lamp in the middle and, in the second step, mount the heater slightly to the left or right of the lamp.
DetailsThermostats can be mounted anywhere so that they are easily accessible for temperature measurements and changes, and in a location where temperature measurement is reliable. However, we recommend installing thermostats near light switches to group switches and thermostats in one location.
DetailsOf course, infrared heating panels can be used to heat individual rooms, but the heater installed in one room should not be expected to heat the adjacent rooms.
DetailsOf course, infrared heaters can also be used as additional heating, in which case we use a value of 15 W/m3 as the basis for calculating the necessary power.
DetailsOf course, infrared heaters can also be used to heat rooms in transitional periods. In this case, we use a value of 15 W/m3 as the basis for calculating the necessary power.
DetailsIf you are in the construction or renovation phase, you can take advantage of this moment to prepare power cables (wiring) hidden in the wall for heating. And after the final preparation of the rooms, panels will be hung on the walls or ceiling, thermostats will be installed next to the light switches and the wiring will then remain hidden in the walls, out of sight.
DetailsThe heater stand shown in the picture must be ordered separately.
