Radiant Heating vs. Convection Heating

Radiant heating, also known as radiant heating, offers a heating method that relies on the direct transfer of heat to objects and people through infrared waves.

Compared to convection heating, which heats the air between objects, radiant heating warms the surfaces of objects directly, providing more uniform and targeted warmth.

Radiant heaters have the advantage of producing uniform heat that can be adjusted to specific needs.

In large open spaces, radiant heating proves to be extremely efficient and energy-saving. By specifically targeting people and objects below, it allows for the creation of differentiated heat zones.

Radiant heating is the optimal solution for effectively heating outdoor spaces where air movement is significant.

CONVECTION HEATING

Convection heating involves heating the ambient air in a space. Using the natural movement of air, this method can be fast and effective for heating small enclosed and well-insulated spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms, classrooms, and offices. However, for large open spaces with high ceilings and poor insulation, such as lobbies, libraries, stores, large classrooms, restaurants, open-plan offices, studios, etc., convection heating can be impractical and inefficient. The warm air rises quickly to the ceiling or escapes through poor insulation, rather than staying in the area where people are located.

Due to the constant movement of air in open outdoor or indoor areas, convection heating may be less suitable for these environments, as the heated air can easily be dissipated by natural air currents.

Radiant heaters, on the other hand, transfer heat directly to objects via infrared waves, heating the surface of the objects themselves. In contrast, convection heaters heat the air between objects. Electric radiant heaters are particularly effective for indoor and outdoor spaces as they provide targeted heat directly to people and objects in their path.

Radiant heating represents an efficient and energy-efficient heating solution for outdoor and indoor spaces. Many entertainment establishments, such as restaurants, pubs, and clubs, have been able to take advantage of our heaters to create outdoor dining areas that operate day and night, year-round.
