Study of peculiarities of surface irradiation with parallel arrangement of infrared heater

Energy conservation and its efficient use belong to the components of energy security of any country. Due to the introduction of energy saving and implementation of more restricted standards of energy efficiency there appeared an urgent need for radical revision of the principles of engineering and constructing civil and industrial facilities, particularly, systems for their heating supply. At present, the bulk of the heat energy is obtained by natural gas usage. Heating systems for large industrial buildings belong to the biggest consumers of heat energy. As a result of the work of convective heating systems, which are used most frequently, typical temperature gradient can be observed which is characterized by cold floor and warm air at the ceiling. This phenomenon has negative impact for industrial facilities, as long as the working area is not higher than 2 m above the floor and heating supply of the upper zone is unreasonable. The need for economy and heat loss reduction leads to an intensive search for new methods of heating supply in industrial premises. One of these methods is the heating system based on the use of emitters of infrared radiation.
