Plein infrared heating system - operating principle, design device, installation rules

Life does not stand still. Until recently, heating systems, which seemed to be the last word in technology, are slowly crowding, giving way to new developments. Profitability and efficiency - these are the main indicators that the average buyer is guided by. It is these qualities that distinguish heating plein, one of the latest achievements in the field of developments that maintain heat in the house.

What is a Film Radiant Electric Heater?

All existing heating systems use one of the known methods of heat transfer:

• infrared electromagnetic radiation;
• convection;
• with direct heat dissipation.

As practice shows, the first option turns out to be the most effective and economical, which underlies the new method of heating the premises.

The internal structure of the equipment

The PLEN heating system is installed quite simply. It is an aluminum foil with resistive heating elements placed on it. The device is laminated on both sides with a special durable film.

In general, the thickness of the structure does not exceed 1.5 mm. The materials used for the production of the system are characterized by increased heat resistance and strength. The equipment is attached to the ceiling of a heated room.

Plen is a film-laminated system of resistive heaters coated on aluminum foil.

Principle of operation

After connecting the power, the resistors in the film begin to heat up. They emit infrared waves with a length of 10-15 microns, which, in turn, heat the surfaces below them. It can be a floor or even large furniture. The floor accumulates thermal energy, after which it begins to gradually give up. Thus, it becomes part of the heating system.

The principle of the plan system is simple, but very effective.

It should be noted that the ceiling heating works in cycles. The first stage is the emission of infrared waves, the second is the absorption, accumulation and transfer of heat to the floor. In this case, the first stage takes only 10% of the system’s operating time, and the remaining 90% is heat transfer. Therefore, the equipment is very economical. The device can be equipped with an automatic control system and a temperature controller, which ensures the inclusion of the system and maintaining the set temperature without human intervention.

Why choose this type of heating?

Infrared heating devices, which have replaced the traditional ones, are distinguished by many advantages, the film ceiling heating system is not an exception. Its use allows you to:

• Save money. Unlike many other devices, the plan will require financial investments only at the stage of purchase and installation. Maintenance during the entire period of operation, which is more than 50 years, is not required.In addition, the energy for the functioning of the system needs so little that it very quickly pays for itself completely. Almost 1.5-2 years are enough for this. Practice shows that on average, the cost of heating a house is reduced by 70%.

Heat the room in an environmentally friendly way. Infrared rays do not change humidity and do not burn oxygen. There are no hazardous products of combustion for humans that need to be diverted. The system works absolutely silently, its electromagnetic radiation is at the background level, no harmful substances are released into the air, convection flows carrying dust and other contaminants are absent. The heat is distributed in the most comfortable way for the body, leaving the floor warmer and less warmed up - air in the area of ​​the person’s head. Doctors consider this heating optimal.

Compared with traditional heating systems, the plan distributes the temperature in the room in the most comfortable way for a person

• It is easy to carry out installation and, if necessary, dismantle the structure. The infrared film does not occupy a usable area and can be laid under any ceiling coating other than metal. After competent dismantling, it retains all its properties and can be mounted in another place.
• Use highly efficient safe heating. The rooms are heated very quickly, about 15 ° C per hour, while the room temperature is easily adjustable. The overall system efficiency is 95%. The modern infrared heating of the Plein is absolutely fireproof and is equipped with special protection against accidental electric shock. The device is not afraid of temporary shutdown and power surges.

Nuances of system installation

The device is quite simple to install, which, nevertheless, is better to entrust to a professional electrician.

If you decide to install it yourself, you need to pay attention to some points:

• The room must be well insulated. Without proper thermal insulation, it is not practical to use the system.
• It is forbidden to shorten or extend the film. It is also not recommended to disassemble the device yourself, turn it on rolled up and allow mechanical damage to the structure.
• The foil infrared heating film system should only be installed on a smooth, level surface without protrusions and defects with sharp edges.

Experts recommend mounting the device on a special insulating foil substrate.

Plein infrared heating system is very easy to install

Infrared films are a practical and very effective solution for home heating. Having decided to use them, you can significantly save money on the maintenance and operation of the system, get efficient, safe and extremely easy to install heating, which will allow the house to always be cozy and warm.
