heat reflector
Thermal energy bouncer
A heat reflector is a surface or device that redirects radiant heat rather than absorbing it.
Reflective materials like aluminum foil or polished metal bounce thermal energy back toward its source or away from what needs protection.
Heat reflectors appear behind radiators to direct warmth into rooms, in insulation to reduce heat transfer, and in firefighting gear to shield against flames.
