Sizing

Outdoor infrared heaters should encircle the area being heated.

The heaters are normally positioned 2-2.5m above the ground.

The output should be reduced according to how sheltered the area is:-

For totally enclosed spaces, glasshouses, pump rooms, swimming pools, laundries, etc, a normal heatloss calculation should be carried out.

For example, a 3m by 2m outdoor smoking area with a roof but no walls requires = 2 x 3 x 1000 = 6000W.

The FCIR weatherproof infra-red radiant heaters are corrosion proof, safe and reliable. They are designed for use outdoors, or in wet and humid areas, to prevent ice and frost forming and keeping people warm.
