What is Radiant Heat?

Softheat saunas are equipped with New Dimension radiant heaters. Radiant Heat is a natural form of energy that heats objects directly without having to heat the air in between. Radiant heat is also called infra-red [IR] energy. An every day example of infra-red is the warmth we absorb from the sun. Picture standing in the sun on a cold but sunny day. The warmth of the sun penetrates right through your clothing to keep you warm. Move into the shade and you feel the cold immediately. The air temperature however remained the same! You were absorbing IR energy. Another example is body heat. When you hold onto somebody to warm up you are absorbing radiant heat. As human beings we are able to "see" energy as colors between red and violet. Infra-red (below red) we "feel" as heat. Ultra-violet [beyond violet] is the other end of the rainbow and of no concern to us here. Radiant infra-red heat is used in our hospitals to warm infants and prescribed for many therapeutic practices requiring deep penetrating heat. Safety First!

Radiant vs. Hot Air Saunas

Conventional Saunas use a metal stove, rocks and a red hot electric element. The resulting air temperatures reach 180-235 degrees Fahrenheit. The "hot air" currents [convection energy] then make contact with the skin [conduction energy) to produce its heating effect on us. Cell by cell the body warms until finally the heat is felt inside and raises our temperature.

Radiant Saunas use ceramic heaters built into the walls to produce infra-red energy. Less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving 80% to be converted to heat within our bodies. The resulting air temperatures are much lower 110-130 degrees Fahrenheit and produce a safer, more natural rise in body temperature. A radiant based system can warm its user to a much greater depth and more comfortably than a conventional sauna.

Note: In a more traditional sweat lodge, rocks were heated in a fire outside and brought into the sauna. The result being lower air temperatures and radiant heat from the rocks. The first patent for a radiant heat bath in the USA was awarded in 1900.
