With different designs, sizes and output stages, Vitoplanar infrared heaters meet every heating need. Read more about the benefits, possible applications and different types here.
Infrared heaters from Viessmann warm up living spaces in a very pleasant way. This is because they use the principle of radiant heat. They do not heat the ambient air. Instead, the heat is reflected off objects and walls that it comes into contact with. Radiant heat is very similar to the sun's rays and is therefore pleasantly enjoyed by many people.
Infrared heaters are also suitable for allergy sufferers because they do not stir up dust during operation. They ensure that the feet and the head are kept equally warm. These heaters come in many forms and output ranges. They are also cheap to purchase and practically maintenance-free.
Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves. They move in a spectral range where light is invisible to the human eye. These rays are absolutely harmless to humans. What is more, they are specifically used for medical and therapeutic applications.
The best known example of this is infrared lamps. These emit heat radiation locally to the body. Depending on the intensity, the infrared radiation penetrates up to several millimetres under the skin and provides relief. Large infrared heaters work differently. They do not distribute the heat selectively, but emit it evenly to the room.
There is not only a difference compared to infrared lamps. An infrared heater also works differently compared to a classic radiator. The thermal energy they generate does not heat the ambient air, for example, but the fixed and movable objects that it meets.
