About Radiant heat

Radiant heat is that form which directly heats the object unlike other sources that heat the surrounding air. It is popularly known as infrared energy. This energy is like that from the sun. It falls in the invisible spectrum of wavelength for human eyesight and so it can just be felt and can not be seen. This heat can be perceived by our body without being seen. This method of heating has a high therapeutic value in medical sciences.

Radiant heat sauna

A radiant heat sauna makes use of direct energy from infrared rays. This energy can infiltrate the body up to a depth of about 1 to 1.5 inches. 80% of the energy generated is directly used in heating up the body and this, wastes only 20% of the energy which is very less as compared to the conventional rock type sauna. Thus, a radiant energy system can be used to warm to a much greater depth and with more efficiently as compared to the traditional sauna. Thus the saying, that the use of radiant heat sauna is much better than the conventional one, is well justified.

Radiant vs. Hot Air Saunas

Radiant heat has higher therapeutic value as it directly heats up the body or the object and not the surrounding air. Even in hospitals, this technology is used to cure many patients of several diseases. This heat does not harm the body at all and in fact it penetrates the body tissues to a grater depth and so is more effective.

Whereas the traditional hot air saunas heat up the entire environment and as a process the body inside such environment gets heated up. Through this method, there is a lot of wastage of energy as unnecessary things also get heated up.

Most of the portable saunas or single person sauna domes use infrared or radiant heat at it is better.
