As a 20-kW infrared oil heater the IRO 15 generates effective radiant heat that is not transported through the air but via light waves, and objects as well as surfaces are heated immediately.
Since the process of this heating type does not involve any air circulation, no dust is raised, which is ideal for the use in dusty rooms with large amounts of liquid or for drying coatings or paint.
Since the heat in the case of the infrared oil heating is not transported via the air, but via light waves, wind has no impact on the heat output either, which makes the IRO 15 also recommendable for spot heating in draughty environments.
In contrast to air heating devices which only heat the air gradually the thermal radiation of the IRO 15 already starts directly after switch-on – without any preheating costs and without a waiting period, 100 % of radiant heat are transported from the heating device to the object illuminated almost without any loss.
In this process, this infrared radiant oil heater not only heats especially efficiently, but also very quietly, since the IRO 15 generates only half of the noise of a comparable direct oil heater fan!
Just like other direct oil heaters, the IRO 15 can be fired with Diesel, which is often more cost-effective than gas or electricity. Since with this technique also combustion gases are emitted to the ambient air, the operational environment must be well-ventilated. In contrast to direct heaters, however, the IRO 15 does not directly emit the heat generated to the air, but uses it to heat a radiant panel.
