Radiant heat refers to a heating method where heat is transferred directly from a warm surface to objects and people in a room. This transfer occurs through infrared radiation, similar to the way the sun warms the earth. Radiant heat can be generated by various sources, including radiant panels, radiators, or even heated walls or ceilings. The key characteristic of radiant heat is its ability to provide consistent warmth without relying on the circulation of air, making it an efficient and comfortable heating solution.
Applications and Functionality
Radiant Heat is a versatile heating method that involves direct heat transfer from a warm surface, offering various applications and functionalities. One notable application is radiant floor heat, where heating panels are installed beneath the floor surface to deliver efficient and comfortable warmth, starting from the ground up.
