strålingspanel

A strålingspanel, often translated as radiant panel or simply radiator, is a device used for heating. It operates by emitting infrared radiation, which directly heats objects and people within its line of sight, rather than primarily warming the air. This method of heating is often perceived as more comfortable than forced-air systems because it avoids the circulation of dust and allergens and can provide a feeling of warmth even if the ambient air temperature is slightly lower.

Strålingspaneler come in various forms. Common types include electric radiant panels, which use electrical resistance to generate heat, and hydronic radiant panels, which circulate heated water through pipes. These panels are frequently installed in ceilings, walls, or floors, making them a discreet and aesthetically pleasing heating solution. In floor installations, they are known as underfloor heating systems. The radiant heat generated by these panels can contribute to energy efficiency as it directly targets occupied spaces and can allow for slightly lower thermostat settings without a decrease in perceived comfort. They are widely used in both residential and commercial buildings.
