Today in many apartments it is possible to see any heater. Such devices allow to endure the interseasonal period when heating was given yet, but becomes already cold. Also they help to be warmed in hard frosts when in the house heat, but all the same in it insufficiently warmly. The modern market offers many options among which there are different heaters. The most ambiguous relation is caused by infrared heaters. There is opinion that they are unhealthy. It is worth finding out, whether so it.
Harm of the infrared heater - the myth or the truth?
The inhabitant who has seen this invention on counters can have doubt in its safety. Whether the infrared heater does harm to health? This fear is in many respects connected with the fact that the word "infrared" sounds a little otpugivayushche, is associated with ultraviolet or radiation.
The sun emits both types of radiation - both IK, and UF. And the infrared heater - according to producers - acts as the sun, but without ultraviolet.
But in fact anything there is no similar in such device. Moreover, infrared waves are used in medicine for treatment of various diseases long ago. They are perfectly perceived by human body and allow to struggle with illnesses effectively.
The same principle is the cornerstone of the heater. Infrared waves, like sunshine, are transferred to human body and pretty fast warm it. It is not necessary to confuse infrared and ultra-violet radiation. The second is really hazardous to health, the first is considered rather harmless.
Advantages of infrared heaters
If to compare infrared heaters to others, it is possible to allocate number of its advantages. The device which radiates infrared waves is capable to warm all objects around itself to which it is directed. Even when the heater is switched already off, heated floor, ceiling and walls continue to give the heat, and indoors temperature, comfortable for the person, remains for a long time.
The Infraksrany thermal device can also be used to be warmed in the open air (on the balcony, verandah).
For comparison, convector or oil devices are capable to warm only air. At the same time, to heat the room, they need certain time. That warmly indoors remained, they almost constantly are required to be held included that has an adverse effect on accounts for the electric power. Besides, at application of the infrared heater there is no need for additional use of various humidifiers that needs inevitably to be done at turning on of other thermal devices. Air during the operation of this device is not dried up. Such equipment is capable even to destroy mold and dampness that cannot be told about her competitors.
Whether there is after all harm of infrared heaters for health
Nevertheless, heaters are capable to do some harm of IK nevertheless. First of all, it concerns their correct operation. Earlier very first models of these devices were considered as quite fire-dangerous. There was enough one falling that there was ignition. Today the heaters equipped with several sensors which turn off mains supply in case the device accidentally falls are issued. However in everything the error share is possible. If the device misfires including any sensor, it can not work in time. Therefore it is better to choose wall models, and for floor it is good to watch and hold them far from children. Besides, upon purchase of the device pay special attention to the producer and structure of the device. There is risk of acquisition of fakes under IK the heater. When heating together with heat they emit different harmful compounds in air.
