1. Selection of Power Density by Room Type The main design parameter is power density (W/m²). It depends on the building’s thermal insulation and the target temperature. It is important to remember that due to direct infrared radiation, the feeling of thermal comfort is achieved at an air temperature 3–4 °C lower than in traditional …

1. Introduction: What Is Infrared Radiation? Infrared radiation — what exactly is it? Dangerous radiation (radiation?!) that must be avoided at all costs, or a natural phenomenon without which life on Earth would be impossible? A part of sunlight or a separate type of electromagnetic waves? To understand this, we need to recall a bit …

Thermal conductivity is one of the key characteristics of materials that directly affects heating efficiency, speed, and uniformity. It determines how quickly a heater transfers heat to the working medium, how stable the temperature will be, and what level of heat losses will occur during operation. When designing and selecting industrial heaters, it is important …

Greenhouses are used everywhere in our country. They help to grow vegetables earlier than the seasonal period, so they are popular both in large agrarian farms and with owners of small land plots. Those who have created entire greenhouse farms grow crops and flowers all year round. Spring weather is also full of surprises: after …
Selection of the heating element is an important engineering task, which directly affects the efficiency and reliability of the electric heating system. Mistakes when buying thermal devices can stop the technological process, putting the equipment out of operation. To avoid this, you need to take into account the peculiarities of application and requirements for the …

Heaters are the working element of a significant number of household appliances used by every family. They were developed more than a century ago. The initial experiments on creation were carried out at the end of the 19th century by James Joule. It was he who in 1841 discovered the Joule-Lenz law, according to which …
