The ceramic infrared emitters (ceramic plates) in BioSmart® in-wall heaters are specially designed for efficacy and safety and are currently patent pending. The density and thickness of the ceramic plate as well as the coating on the plate play a large role in determining the characteristics of the infrared heat emissions coming off of the plate.
During the past 50 years, ceramic emitters have been used as the preferred type of infrared radiation for industrial applications, mainly because they are much more efficient than other types of infrared heat sources. Ceramic emitters are also used extensively in Europe for residential wall-mounted systems to provide localized space heating.
The drawback to other infrared heater designs is that the emitters are exposed in such a way that they allow direct exposure to the infrared radiant waves, which in some cases can be dangerous if you get too close. You can suffer from radiant burns from the heat waves emitted from these types of heaters if you get too close to the exposed heater elements. In the BioSmart® in-wall heaters, we have overcome this problem by creating a housing that does not directly expose the infrared ceramic plates, but diffuses the heat from the plates through diverting it through an air-flow channel and using a whisper quiet fan circulates the air for more efficient and safe heating of a larger area.
While you don’t get instant heat with ceramic infrared emitters, the heat that is generated once the emitter attains its optimum operating temperature is very focused and intense. Ceramic infrared emitters produce a superior far infrared wavelength because of the uniform large mass of the ceramic element itself. The far infrared waves can be aimed in a specific direction or diverted through an air-flow channel and diffused into the room, as in the case of the BioSmart® infrared in-wall heater. Our in-wall heater can heat a larger area and eliminate the danger of direct heat exposure.
The design of the air-flow channel in the BioSmart® in-wall heaters is the first to be approved by TUV for U.S. distribution and is the first of its kind to be approved for the European market.
Only BioSmart® in-wall heaters overcome the negative factors, and emphasize all of the benefits, of utilizing a ceramic emitter to produce far infrared heat!
