1) Responsible and conscious ventilation: For ventilation and replacement of air in a room in general, a few minutes of open windows are enough.
Although with infrared heating the mass is mainly heated and not as much energy is lost during ventilation times, it is still important to avoid open windows or doors in permanent ventilation mode infra panel.
2) Take advantage of the free energy of the sun as much as possible: When the sun hits one side of the building: Blinds up and curtains to the side! – The sun that passes through a window does the same as an infrared radiant panel, it warms us and the mass by thermal waves. The energy delivered is stored in floors, walls and furniture. We all know the so-called greenhouse effect .
Chapter 2: Tips for sporadic or zone air conditioning:
First tip:
In this case, the power required to be installed clearly has to be raised to that of an installation with continuous function because above all it is important to achieve a quick and intense “response”. Therefore, in these cases, according to the rule, the installed power must be almost the same as in an installation of low-consumption convection radiators type “Blue Heat”. That is to say, for the room in the previous example of about 10m 2, where before we calculated with a power of 500-600W, now we would do well to place a radiant panel of about 700-800W or even two of 400W to achieve a homogeneous environment in the short term. . Preferably, infrared panels with minimal inertia and good internal conductivity are used that reach the optimal temperature of 90-95° in no more than 10-15 minutes.
Second tip:
It could also be an interesting alternative to equip with semi-radiant radiators that work more or less half by convection and radiantly. In this way, the energy invested from the beginning is distributed and at the same time mass and air are heated. A combined model with forced air or models with two or more power levels may also be recommended .
Third tip:
It may be appropriate to combine with GSM or WiFi modules for remote switching or regulation of infrared panels through your mobile, iPhone, Smart Phone, iPad or tablet. Also very suitable for turning on, off or regulating temperature in second home homes and apartments.
