THEORY OF INFRARED
Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation which is generated in a hot source (quartz lamp, quartz tube, or metal rod) by vibration and rotation of molecules. The resuiting energy is controlled and source, and diffuses as a function of the square of the distance. Intensity, therefore, wouid decrease in a proportional manner. So, at 20 from the heat source, intensity of the energy concentration is 114 the intensity developed at 10'. Also, at 20 distance from the heat source, the energy pattern of radiant heat will cover four

directed specically to and on people or objects. This energy is not absorbed by air, and does not create heat until it is absorbed by an

opaque object. The sun is the basic energy source. Energy is projected 93,000,000 miles through space to heat the earth by the infrared verts to heat upon contact with a person, a building, the oor, the

ground or any other opaque object. There is, however, no ultraviolet component (suntanning rays) in electric infrared. Electric infrared energy traveis in straight lines from the heat source. This energy is directed into specic pattems by optically

designed reectors. Infrared, like light, travels outward from the heat

distance. For comfort heating, there must be reasonably even accumulated values of heat throughout the comfort zone. Proper mounting heights of the individual heaters, xture spacing, reector beam pattems, and heat source wattage must be specified to generate the proper heating levels at the task area. The amount of heat delivered is also adjusted by input controllers or by thermostats which respond to surrounding temperature leveis and provide ONOFF or PROPORTIONAL inputs.

The sun is the allenergy source. and its energy waves are illustrated technically by this wave~leng!.h chart. Man-made infrared energy operates in a narrow portion of the total electromagnetic spectrum. The infrared portion is further broken down into near infrared. intermediate infrared and far infrared; with n-ear infrared beginning at approximately .8 microns or just beyond the visible portion of the spectrum. Intermediate and far infrared range from approximately 1.5 microns in length.

ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC INFRARED

1) HEATS PEOPLE WITHOUT HEATING AIR Infrared travels through space and is absorbed by people and objects in its path. Infrared is not absorbed by the air. With con4} REDUCED OPERATING COSTS The previous statements are advantages in themselves; but combined they account for an energyrfuel savings of up to 50 percent. Actual savings will vary from building to building depending on factors such as insulation, ceiling height and type of construction. 5) INSTANT HEAT Electric infrared produces virtually instant heat (See Page

Infrared heating, the wam1th is directed and concentrated at the oor and people level where it is really needed. 2) ZONE CONTROL FLEXIBILITY Infrared heating is not dependent upon air movement like convec-

For example, Zone A, with a high concentration of people, could be maintained at a 70 degree comfort level while at the same time off completely.

heating requirements. 6) NEGLIGIBLE MAINTENANCE Electric infrared is strictty a resistance type heat. There are no

moving pans or motors to wear out; no air lters or lubrication

required.

Zone B, a storage area, could be kept at 55 degrees or even tumed

repiacement is all that will be required.

Periodic cleaning of the reectors and heat source

3) STAGING Another unique control feature of electric infrared that increases comfort conditions and saves energy consumption is staging. Where most systems are either "fully ON or fully OFF" the staging feature also allows only a portion of the equipments total capacity to be used. For example, a two-stage control would work as follows: During the rst stage, one heat source in every xture would be energized. During the second stage, two heat sources in

every xture would be energized. For further oontroi sophistication,

a large area can be both zoned and staged. These systems, then, allow a more consistent and unifom1 means of maintaining a specic comfort level and avoid the peak 8- valley syndrome.

7) CLEAN Electric infrared, like other fom1s of electric heating, is the cleanest method of heating. There are no by-products of combustion as with fossil fuel buming units. Electric infrared adds nothing to the air nor takes anything from it. 8) SAFE - UL listed - No open ame - No moving parts to malfunction - No fuel lines to leak - No toxic by-products of combustion 9) EFFICIENT All Electric Heaters convert energy to heat at 100% etciency.

METHODS OF HEAT TRANSFER

desired comfort level at a specied area. To best understand infrared heating, a comparison with ditferent methods of heat transfer should rst be considered.
Heat transfer can be accomplished by any one of three methods, CONDUCTION, CONVECTION or RADIANT CONDUCTION is placing an object in physical contact with the source Radiant or infrared heating provides a unique method of achieving a

of heat, such as a hot water bottle against the body. CONVECTION heat involves using a source of heat to WGFIT! the air and create a desired comfort level around people. Heated air is circulated by fans or blowers to generally surround a normally enclosed area. Home heating with a forced-air fumace is an example
of CONVECTION heat

REFLECTORS AND BEAM PATTERNS

The method of transferring and directing the infrared energy to the work level is an important factor in the heating design and will greatly affect the efciency of the heating system.

reector materiai when the combined factors of cost, workability and weight are considered. Dirt will accumulate ON the surface and not IN the chemical composition with the gold. Within the infrared energy portion of the spectn.rm, clear anodized aluminum reectors

Reectors are used to direct the radiant energy from the source to the

energy will be transferred to the work level. The reector efciency is inuenced by the reector material, its shape and contour. One method of measuring the efciency of the material is by the emissivity factor. Emissivity is dened as the ratio of the amount of energy given off by radiation from a perfect black body; and is equal to the rate that material will absorb energy. The lower the emissivity

achieve approximately 89 percent reectivity. Gold anodized aluminum reectors achieve approximately 92 percent reectivity. The

most highly efcient reflector readily available is a specular gold plated material, which is rarely used due to the prohibitive cost of gold. Fostoria uses gold anodized aluminum for reectors and end caps in their electric infrared heating equipment to provide the highest economical reectivity and durability. The beam pattem created by the reector must be emphasized in the heating design. First the reector must create a straight vertical line from the heat source to the work area. This is the pattem oenterline. Secondly, the reector will converge or concentrate the energy into a choice of wide, medium or narrow pattems. In the electric infrared comfort heat indusby, reectors are also designed for asymmetric, symmetric and offset pattems as shown below.

They must have high reectivity of infrared ener93!; resist corrosion, heat, moisture; and be easily cleaned. Aluminum is a common reector material and must be anodized to provide suitable reectivity and withstand the heat levels present in

EFFECTS of UNDER and OVER-VOLTAGE on HEAT ELEMENTS

Operating any of the three heating elements below their design
voltage has the following effects: a) Lowers the delivered wattage.-heat output (see Graph D). Example 2 - Graph "D" (Metal RocUQuar1z Tube) A #G7l-3489 quartz tube is designed to have an output of 1600 watts at 240V. If operated at 208V (86.67% of design voltage} it will

have an output of (71 % x 1600} = 1136 watts.

Increases the life of the heating elements.

If operated at 120 volts (50.0% of design voltage) it will have an output of (25% x 1600) = 400 watts.

should be avoided, and will have the opposite or reverse effect of

those shown above.

Operating any of the heating elements above their design voltage

To delemtine the effects of using less than design voltage on either

of the three heat sources, Graph E shouid be oonsulted. For instance, if you wish to detem1ine the effects of using a quaitz lamp at half voltage, you can detem1ine the resultant wattage (331f3%) from Graph D; you can furtherpetermine the operating temperature, or color temperature, (3150 F) of the element from Graph E, and the resultant radiant efciency (85%) from Graph E. By decreasing the voltage to 50 percent, there is not only a 213 reduction in actual wattage, but an additional decrease in RADIANT EFFICIENCY of 11 percent (96%-85%). Therefore the RADIANT output is now onty 453 watts (85% of 533 watts) for a 1600 watt lamp operated at 1.-'2 voltage. This can direct you as to whether or not the half voltage operation will be a good choice for your specic appiication. NOTE: It is seldom, but occasionally recommended to use heat sources at a lower than design voltage.

Some heating elements are intentionally used at under voltage

design to increase the life of the elements. CAUTION should be used to insure that over-voltages do not exist in excess of 2 percent. Reducing the voltage by X percent does not reduce the wattage by the same X percent. Refer to Graph D to detemtine proper voltageiwattage relationship. Graph D shows the relationship of wattage vs voltage for under-voltage applications. NOTE: The wattage reduction also vanes with the type of heating element. Usage of Graph D being derated}

1} Select proper graph (depending on the type of heat element

2) Divide voltage applied" by element design voltage to

detennine percentage of applied voltage" Find this percentage on the horizontal axis of the graph. Move vertically from that point until it intersects with plotted line. Move directly left at the point of intersection to corresponding percent of wattage" as shown on vertical axis. Example 1 - Graph "D" (Quartz Lamp) A #GF-1624H quartz lamp is designed to have an output of 1600 watts at 240V. If operated at 208V (88.67% of design voltage) it will have an output of (78% x 1600) = 1248 watts. 3) If operated at 120 volts (50% of design voltage) it will have an output of (33 li3% x 1600) = 533 watts.

INDOOR SPOT HEATING

An indoor spot heating design will maintain an isolated comfort level within a larger and cooler area. The ambient temperature of the surrounding areas must be considered to help determine proper input to the work area, but will not in tum be affected by the isolated heated area. Many times a series of spot heat areas can be incorporated within the total area to avoid maintaining a higher ambient tempera4) Fixtures should be mounted so that the long dimension of the heat pattem is parallel to the long dimensions of the area to be

heated.

ture throughout the building.

5) Spot heating systems can be controlled manually, or preferably, with a them1ostat located away from the direct pattem of the

heaters. Percentage timers may be used, but are not as effective.

6) Avoid mounting xtures at heights less than 8. The estimator must also have the following specic infomwation available before calculating the heating load and xture layout: 1) Design voltage and phase to be employed. 2) Minimum practiwl mounting height for the heating equipment. 3) Specic dimensions of the area to be heated. 4) Specic statement of the heating task including the design temperature required.

Comfort levels will depend on the intensity of the wattage delivered. and will depend on ambient conditions. dress, and activity of the

Wattage should be suicient to balance nomtal body heat losses, individuals in the WDFK area.
Since actual ambient temperatures are not maintained, several factors involved with indoor spot heating must be considered: 1) Beam patterns should always cross approximately 5 above oor level to provide even heat at the work area. 2) Avoid installing only one xture directly over a person's head at a work station. 3) All spot heat applications. regardless of area size, should heat

the person or object from two sides.

Calculation Method for Indoor Spot Heat

by allowing customers to gather outside in the courtyard

area. The owner markets his restaurant as a New Orleans Style Courtyard" that stays wam1 year round with Fostoria Heaters. The installed IR system is achieving 90% of total IR cover-

age for the outdoor area, giving this area 37 wattsfsq. ft. By
using this electric IR heating system, the customers receive a 30-35 F temperature rise for each individual heated area.

SAMPLE 1 CALCULATION (CONT'D.)

The previous calculations are done to arrive at the standard heat loss when employing a conventional, forced hot air system. (Standard ASHRAE heat toss calculation may also be used to arrive at this gure.) Because electric infrared heats objects directly and not air, the amount of heat (KW) required will be less with infrared than with the forced air system. To detennine how much less KW is required we must evaluate those conditions that affect the efciency of infrared heating over forced air heating. These conditions (A) (B) and (C) are listed below and are categorized by values. These conditions are listed in order from "easiest to heat and retain wam"i air" to hardest to do so. As the ceiling height increases, the wasted cubic feet needed to be heated with forced air also increases. The poorer the insulation the more difficult it is to retain hot air heat. As these conditions worsen, the efciency of infrared over forced air increases.

To use the following table: Pick the corresponding values for(A),(B) and (C) conditions and add them together. Example: A25 ceiling height with an R factor of R-16 in the ceiling and an R-5 in the side walls would result in values of 20, 28 and 15 respectively, or a total value of 63 for all 3 conditions.

CHOOSING FIXTURE LAYOUT (SAMPLE 1)

1) Select proper type healing element for selected mounting height, (i.e., 15). From infomiation previously given, the quartz lamp" is best suited. 2) Choose type of heater for selected mounting height. Cannot use General Distribution Heater at this height. Tnmline is limited to spot heating only. Heavy Duty Senes" does not accept the quartz lamp", which has been detemiined as the ideal heating element. Therefore, select the Mul-T-Mount", 60 or A600 pattern best. Unit must accept 240V quartz lamp...select 222-60-TH or 222-A60-TH. 3) Coverage A222-60-TH mounted at 15 covers an area of approximately 18' x 18' = 324 sq. ft. (See Table 5, page 30, Reector and Heat Distribution Pattems.) 4) Total sq. ft. in building = 4000 = 12.34 or 12 units Coverage per heater = 324

5) 35, 708 = watts necessary = approximately 2976 watts per heater. In this case we are limited to one type of heating element,
12 i.e., Quartz Lamp. with 240V 1' 1600W rating, 2 per xture, or 3200 watts per heater. 6) Select: 12 ea. 222-60-TH - 240V heaters. (2) 1600W I 240V lamps packed wt heater. The above calculation gives almost total blanket coverage if spaced uniformly. For total area heating it is not absolutely necessary to get btanket coverage nor an overlap of pattems. Uniforrriity of heaters, however, will produce the most comfortable environment. A widely used approach is to heat a building with a combination of perimeter units and center units. This method places heaters along the perimeter ctoser together (higher density) than those spaced uniformly in the center. Since more heat loss occurs on the outside watts, a higher wattage density must be located there to offset this higher heat loss. The ideal controt" for this type layout nomwally would have the perimeter units on one zone and the center units on another.

SNOW AND ICE CONTROL

Principles: 1) ALWAYS use clear quartz lamps as proper element selection. NEVER use any other element. 2) ALWAYS use the Mul-T-Mount series. The Mul-T-Mount units are UL listed for both semi-exposed and completely exposed areas. 3) For BEST results use the 300 symmetric or asymmetric units (30, A30). SATISFACTORY results can be obtained when using consult factoiy for watt density. NEVER use 90 patlem for snow and ice control. 4) Table B shows watt densities needed when units are mounted at 8' - 10. For best results strive for this 8' - 10' levet. Consult factory for densities required when mounting above 10'. NEVER mount above 14'. 5) Strive for blanket coverage.

60 symmetric or 60 asymmetric pattems in semi-protected or shielded areas. lf 60 heat pattem is required for exposed areas,

Snow Control Factors To determine the watt density of infrared required for any area, see Table 4 {located at the back of the manual) to obtain outside design temperature (Factor I} and annual snowfall (Factor H). From Table A, obtain the value for each factor. and add Factor I and Factor ll together. Refer to Table B to obtain the watt density based on the total value.

heating KW load in a given infrared installation. Since infrared heaters do not have contactcrs built into the
units, it is necessary that they be supplied elsewhere. With a pre-wired FPC from Fostoria. all that need be supplied by the installer are fuses, and optional main disconnect or circuit breaker.

The foliowing Table 3 is to be used in conjunction with Totai Area Heating Calculations. This table lists the R factors for various types and thicknesses of materials. These numbers measure the resistance to heat flow through a specic type of material for a given thickness in tem1s of BTUs per hour per square foot with a 1 F temperature difference between the two sides. To convert R factors to "U" factors divide 1 (one) by the R factor. (Example: An R factor of .88 is a U factor of 1 divided by .88 or 1.136.) "R" factors are additive; so to calcuiate the overall R value of a combination of materials, simply detem"iine the R value of each material and add these values together Denitions "U" Factor: R Factor. The number of British Thermal Units transferred in one hour by one square foot of the roof, ceiling, wall or oor with one degree Fahrenheit temperature difference between the air on the inside and the air on the outside of the roof, ceiling. wall, or oor. A rating of overall heat resistance. The reciprocal of the U factor.

Heating Degree Days - A unit based upon temperature difference and time, used in estimating fuel consumption and specifying nominal heating load of a building in winter. For any one day, when the mean temperature is less than 65 F, there exist as many degree days as there are Fahrenheit degrees difference in temperature between the mean temperature for the day and 65 F. These heating degree days (as listed in above chart) were compiled during the 1941-1970 period as published by the National Climate Center Outside Design Temperature - This gure represents the temperature which will include 99 percent of all the winter-hour fahrenheit temperatures. A base of 2160 hours (total hours in Dec, .lan., and Feb.) was used. Therefore, using this gure as a design temperature will, on an average, cover all but 22 hours of expected winter temperatures.

Types of Infrared Applications

Infrared Indoor Spot Heating System

Overhead Infrared for Comfort 8- Production Fostoria Industries Stainless Steal Mul-T-Mount units took care of Howard lndustnes (Laurel, MS) need for indoor spot heating in its production areas throughout the piant. Twenty four of our four foot, 3-lamp, stainless steel, infrared heaters were positioned throughout the facility to keep employees and machinery wam"| throughout the day. UL listing on the Mul-T-Mount heaters allows for installation of indoor and totally exposed outdoor areas. It is also the only electric infrared heater UL listed for recessed applications, lending itself to a variety of optional installations.
