How do infrared heaters work?

Most infrared heaters employ gas combustion (propane or natural gas) to heat a steel tube (tube heater) or ceramic surface (luminous heater), which subsequently emits infrared heat. It’s important to note how much infrared heat is emitted. You should also be aware that an infrared heater produces both infrared radiant heat (that is directed at people and objects) and convection heat that rises and is for the most part lost. Even Schwank’s economy models produce more infrared heat than competing systems, and our top-of-the-line heater, the supraSchwank, delivers the most infrared heat (81%) of any heater in the world – by far.

Its important to note how much infrared heat is emitted (infrared efficiency). You should also be aware that an infrared burner produces both infrared radiant heat (that is directed at people and objects) and convection heat that rises and is effectively lost.

Infrared rays are not visible light rays – they’re located just under the color red in the visible light spectrum. The heat we feel on Earth is from the infrared rays from the sun. The most beneficial of those infrared rays are the far rays because they promote blood circulation and healing.
