Heat& HumansThe sun, our source of life, provides us with heat and light. Sunlight is whatenables all creatures to live, complete their energy cycle, and grow. It warms ourbodies, even in winter, when it filters through the clouds. This doesn’t mean thatthe earth suddenly warms up. We feel warm because the photons that sunlightis made of transfer their energy to the surfaces they hit.Sunlight is not just composed of visible light, but of infrared rays as well. Theserays are the most efficient for transferring heat and helping warm the Earth. Theoperating principle of UFO infrared heaters is based on this phenomenon. Theheater begins emitting medium wave infrared rays in a mere 30 seconds.
The UFO <strong>Heater</strong>DifferenceThe heating systems we use in our homes are generally grouped into two categories: convective (classical systemswhich transfer heat by using air as a media) and radiant (systems which transfer heat by radiation). Convective heaterstransfer heat to surfaces through the movement of heated air from one place to another. This means that they need toheat all the air in a given space in order to heat the environment. Depending on the volume of air, it may therefore takeseveral minutes for us to feel warm in an average size room. As convective heaters warm the air, they also dry it out,reducing humidity.UFO heaters are quite different from classical heating systems. They heat our bodies just like the sun heats our world,delivering heat directly to our bodies, clothes and surrounding objects with the help of photons. Once heated, theseobjects help heat the air in the entire room. In addition to this, the aluminum housings of UFO heaters act as convectiveheaters and are effective in warming the ambient air. Since UFO heaters do not consume oxygen or burn any fuel (unlikewood, coal, or gas heaters), they don’t cause headaches or odours, or release any particles into the air. Therefore, thereis no risk of intoxication.UFO heater installation and operating costs are very low,an additional benefit as energy costs continues theirsteady increase. UFO infrared heaters begin heating in aslittle as 30 seconds. Due to their high efficiency in transferringheat, they reduce energy consumption and contributeto saving the environment by using energy resourcesefficiently. Since UFO units heat by infrared light, they arenot affected by wind or air flows and allow you to redirectand control the heat produced. Not only will they keep youwarm indoors, they’ll also keep you warm outdoors. Youcan use them comfortably and efficiently on your patio,porch, or deck, or in your garage or workshop. Comparedto classical heating systems, UFO infrared heaterstransfer heat up to80% more efficiently.Depending on factorssuch as room size,degree of insulation,the season, and soon, the efficiency ratemay be even higher.
