Far infrared

[7] Though multiple applications of long wave or FIR heating exist, a common representation comprises radiant panel heaters.

[9] Owing to their size and flexibility,[10] infrared panel heaters can be fitted on walls and ceilings for added-space saving benefits.

Electric FIR panel heaters are shown to have up to 98.5% efficiency from supply to production of heat with satisfactory thermal comfort, thermostatic control, and with low initial investment.

[13] The researchers have suggested that the emission of far-infrared radiation by these ceramics (referred to as cFIR) could facilitate cellular repair.

Higher temperatures will result in greater infrared radiation, but caution must be exercised to avoid burns.
