Knowledge of infrared radiation

Infrared radiation is a natural component of sunlight. Without this radiation, which we perceive as warmth, there would be no life on earth. The atmosphere filters out a large part of the infrared radiation, namely IR-C.
We therefore enjoy the natural infrared A and infrared B radiation of the sun outdoors. our special Infrarotmed-heaters are modeled on natural sunlight.

What is deep heat?

Scientists refer to infrared A and infrared B radiation as deep heat, which can penetrate up to 5mm into the tissue, where it is then absorbed. As a result, the tissue can be warmed up very quickly and gently and better supplied with blood, which means that the muscles are better supplied with oxygen and nutrients.

Even at low temperatures, the deep heat effectively warms our body and stimulates our self-healing powers. Especially the infrared A radiation has already been shown to have many positive effects.

Muscle tension can be released and back pain relieved. The sweating process, which is gentle on the circulation, purifies and detoxifies the body.

The associated increase in body temperature (“artificial fever”) activates the self-healing powers and strengthens the immune system.

With infrared-C radiation, however, the heat transport only works indirectly via heat conduction, since it can only penetrate a maximum of 0.1 mm into the skin.

IR-C – Large-area long-wave radiators (panels)

Practically the entire wall becomes warm here, whereby the surface temperature is usually only approx. 50 ° C. The emitted radiation is therefore in the far IR range (i.e. completely in the IR-C range).
Note: surface heater, heating, sauna, tiled stove, hot water bottle, bath tub

IR-B/C – Long wave radiator

Have a surface temperature of approx. 300 to 380 ° C and are often designed as rod radiators. At this temperature there is no longer absolutely pure IR-C radiation. About 5 to 10% of the radiation power is in the IR-B range.

IR-A/B/C – Shortwave radiators

With glowing tungsten filaments surrounded by glass or quartz tubes, radiator temperatures of up to 2,000 ° C can be achieved. The principle here is similar to a filtered halogen incandescent lamp and is known in a smaller version as a red light bulb, which has long been used in the household as a heat lamp (especially for head irradiation).
The radiation distribution results again from the temperature of the radiator – the maximum of the spectrum is, depending on the temperature, in the IR-A range or at the limit of the IR-A to the IR-B range.
Note: Conventional full spectrum radiator

INFRAROTMED – IR-A/B/C – short wave heater

• Protected INFRAROTMED emitter for red light and infrared light applications
• Linear double filter for a higher proportion of red light
• Adaptively adjustable infrared range (in connection with icon control)
