Radiant Footprint - HEATSTRIP Elegance THE1800EU Manuel D'utilisation, D'installation Et D'entretien

Radiant Footprint

HEATSTRIP electric heaters produce radiant heat which heats objects
rather than the air. Therefore, it is imperative that objects to be
heated (ie. people), are within the direct radiant footprint of the
heater.
The diagram to the left shows the radiant footprint of
HEATSTRIP Elegance, and is an approximate guide
based on a fully enclosed, outdoor
environment.
This diagram shows that the maximum
heat output is found directly under the
heater, and the temperature decreases
as you move away from the heater.
It highlights the importance of
maintaining recommended mounting
heights, and if possible, positioning the
heater directly above the area to be
heated.
Also, the temperature (ie. surface
temperature) is the same for all 3
models, regardless of the wattage. However, as
the size increases and the length of the unit increases, the radiant footprint will be larger.
The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor and outdoor enclosed
environment, with direct overhead mounting.
Radiant footprint is reduced in angled, wall mounted applications.
