Evaluation of Infra-Red vs. Forced Air Heating

From Detroit Radiant Products Company
 

 

A three-year study was conducted at a commercial facility with frequent overhead door openings. Participant installed both a forced-air unit heater (FA) and a tube-type infrared heater (IR). Units were operated by a common thermostat, with a manual override switch, to allow for either forced air or infrared operation. This evaluation method allowed for an accurate side-by-side evaluation of the different heating systems.
