2.1.2 Infrared Heaters A gas-fired infrared radiant heater burns gas to heat a radiating surface that emits infrared energy when at high temperature. Infrared energy is similar to visible light except that it lies between the visible and microwave sections of the electromagnetic spectrum. Like light, it travels in straight lines. Air does not absorb infrared energy well, so most of the heating is direct to solid objects. The heated objects then release heat to the air by convection and radiate some heat to surrounding objects. Infrared radiant heaters are very effective for spot heating and are also used for heating large areas [12]. Landfill gas fired infrared heating systems offer many advantages for space heating requirements in the garages and another buildings local near the landfill. Advantages of radiant • Radiant heat is not absorbed by the air, so it is highly efficient in areas that require frequent air changes or that have high infiltration rates. • Radiant heating warms cold bodies directly without needing to heat up all of the air in the room or building. This rapid heat-up capability allows the heat to be off when the room or building is unoccupied, thus saving fuel. • Radiant heating minimizes heat losses though the roof and roof vents. The energy is directed radiantly down toward the area needing heat and the minimal air heating minimizes stratification and the rise and escape of warm air. • Radiant heating does not require forced air circulation in the room or building and thus minimizes circulation of airborne particles. • Radiant heating allows zone control. Different areas can be heated to different temperatures as required. • Radiant heat is directional. Very specific areas can be heated without heating an entire room or building. • Radiant heat can be used effectively outdoors. There are two kinds of gas infra-red heaters in use: • ceramic, also called bright, • pipe, also called dark or low-intensive. heating include: 30PDF Image | Landfill Gas Energy Technologies
