strålingspaneler

Strålingspaneler, often referred to as radiant panels or infrared panels, are devices that generate and emit thermal radiation. This radiation is then absorbed by objects and people within the room, providing a sensation of warmth. Unlike convection heaters that heat the air, strålingspaneler primarily heat surfaces directly. The primary mechanism of heat transfer is through electromagnetic waves in the infrared spectrum.

These panels come in various forms, including ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, and portable units. Materials commonly used in their construction include metal, ceramic, or composite elements that can be heated electrically or by hot water circulation. Electric strålingspaneler typically employ resistance heating elements, while hydronic panels use heated fluid pumped through pipes within the panel.

The efficiency of strålingspaneler is often highlighted, as they can provide comfort at lower air temperatures compared to convection heating. This is because the radiant heat directly warms occupants, reducing the need to heat the entire volume of air. They are also known for their quiet operation, as they do not involve fans or moving parts.

Strålingspaneler are employed in a range of applications, from residential heating to industrial settings and even outdoor spaces. In residential use, they can supplement existing heating systems or serve as the primary heat source. In industrial environments, they are used for localized heating of workspaces or for drying processes. The controlled emission of infrared radiation makes them a versatile heating solution.
