Unlike forced air heaters, HotZone™ heaters have no moving parts and warm people and objects, but not the air, with infrared radiation. HotZone™ heaters have a patented, lobster eye inspired, compound reflective lens that focuses and directs the infrared energy into a beam (or a spot). These lenses are lightweight aluminum grids that look like a four-walled honeycomb structure and are capable of magnifying without overheating. Perfect for your patio area or outdoor grilling area during those colder winter times.
Because HotZone™ heaters focus and direct the infrared energy
into a beam:
• HotZone™ heaters can be installed out of the way of people and
equipment.
• The radiant intensity is much less sensitive to distance from
the heater (your head doesn't cook while your feet freeze).
• They deliver between five times as much infrared energy to the
spot, compared to a similar powered, unfocused high intensity infrared heater.
• They will raise the surface temperature of a 14 square foot
area by 15° with a single 1500 watt heater mounted eight feet above it.
• They will raise the surface temperature of a 25 square foot
area by 20° with a single 3000 watt heater mounted ten feet above it.
Plan your installation by identifying the area you want heated
and how much temperature increase you need. Imagine the heater as a kind of
floodlight and place it so as to cover your target area with enough heat. The
temperature increase resulting from the heater "shining" on a target depends on
the power of the heater, the distance from the heater to the target and how
close the target is to the center of the spot. |
