In Part 1 of our reflector series, we looked at why terms like “100% efficient,” “single-pass,” and “dual-pass” do not, by themselves, establish how an infrared heater performs. That raises the next question: If geometry alone cannot establish performance, how is radiant output actually measured? For gas-fired infrared heaters, the answer starts with understanding the… Read more »

If you have spent much time around infrared heating specifications, you may have seen claims describing a reflector as “100% efficient” or designed to reflect “100% of the energy” toward the floor. It sounds definitive. The reality is more complicated. A reflector is an important part of an infrared heater, but it does not operate… Read more »

When evaluating heating options for a commercial or industrial building, infrared radiant and forced-air systems are often compared as though they accomplish the same task in roughly the same way. They do not. Both systems can create a comfortable indoor environment, but they deliver heat differently. Forced-air equipment heats and circulates air throughout a space…. Read more »
