Far Infrared Sauna Heaters Our Sun Spirit saunas use a ceramic heater core coated with incoloy. Incoloy is a metal alloy that is very effective in high temperature applications. The incoloy coating is added to our far infrared sauna heaters to ensure the heat is evenly distributed. It also ensures a consistent far infrared wavelength.
The large reflecting panels placed behind our sauna heaters are designed to reflect the far infrared rays emitted to the front, sides, ceiling and floor. With a minimum of 5 far infrared sauna heaters strategically place throughout the sauna, the far infrared rays are evenly distributed providing maximum coverage. The reflective backs on the sauna heaters also minimize any energy loss through the back of the sauna.
Our ceramic elements are specially processed to emit far infrared rays at the most beneficial level to the human body. To get real benefit from an infrared sauna heater, it must emit far infrared rays evenly with a wavelength greater than 5.6 microns. Our new U-Type heaters have a minimum wavelength of 6 TO 7 microns which puts us well into the far infrared range.
An industry standard Infrared Heat Calculation Formula is used to calculate the wavelength or infrared emission for infrared sauna heaters.
The formula is:
Infrared Emission (IE) = 5269/ (HEATER FACE TEMP + 460)
5269 and 460 are constant numbers. The only variable in this formula is the heater face temperature.
Because the far infrared wavelength is between 5.6 and 1000 microns, in order for infrared sauna heaters to emit far infrared rays, the heater face temperature must be a maximum of 480.89 ºF.
Test results, conducted by our R&D department, show that the average heater surface temperature of our U-Type far infrared sauna heaters is 370.88 ºF, and the minimum IE value is 6.34. This is proof that our sauna heaters do indeed emit far infrared rays.
Manufacturer for Our Far Infrared Electric Sauna HeatersAfter much research, Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company was selected as the manufacturer for our far infrared electric sauna heaters.
