Infrared heater efficiency -- how much is radiated infrared?

2022-10-08に共有
Testing the efficiency of three different infrared heaters. All electric heaters turn all the electricity into heat, but for infrared heaters, how much of that heat is really radiated infrared?

  • A company would have to be quite confident to contact Matthias about testing their product.

    The term “quartz heater” is a marketing term that came out in the 80s (late 70s ?) when they started selling heaters where the element was contained within a hollow quartz glass tube. That’s opposed to the standard nichrome wire wrapped around a ceramic core. The one that Mattias referred to as the “old fashioned” one was the ‘wire wrapped around a ceramic core’ variety. The others were ‘quartz heaters’.
  • Oh... A thermodynamics experiment! I really like it, Matthias! 😃 Excellent work!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
  • Tip over protection is very often oriented for face down tipping since that is the dangerous direction.

    I was surprised that Matthias didn't mention or show off the high-tech automatic infrared heater aimer! Especially when it came to the "body presence sensor" of the new heater. The heater aimer is a great video.
  • I love my radiant heaters. My favorite is a little 250/500W unit that I keep under my desk so I don't need to turn on the furnace while working.

    Hi, First off I really love how I’m depth you go with the science, your really doing an incredible service wirh your style of teaching and real data collection. I would love a 1min summary at the end of each video that clearly articulates the pros and cons / best choice for x situation.

    Even though Matthias was sponsored by one vendor, the way he sets up the tests makes me trust the results :)
  • @CorDawgYT
    The tip over protection might just be if its facing down against the ground or maybe it's just a thermal sensor?
  • Not all of the bulb power goes into infrared, so the efficiency comparison will be off a bit, but I think its still a good estimate. Great video!
  • 6:53 i was wondering why Matthias called the patio heater a "Bluetti" instead of "Maxoak". I googled and found out Bluetti is a branch company of Maxoak.

    Thorough review of Underwriters Laborites caliber. Great content, sir!
  • You weren’t lying about being bias. Love you and your vids regardless.

    Would be fun to test "Far Infrared" heaters as well. They are in theory ~98.5% effecient versus the ~80% for standard heaters.
