infrared heating
Invisible warmth source
Infrared heating uses electromagnetic radiation to warm objects directly rather than heating the surrounding air.
Unlike conventional heaters that warm a space by convection, infrared heaters transfer energy straight to people and surfaces: The patio had infrared heating so we stayed comfortable despite the cold night air.
Common in outdoor restaurants, warehouses, and saunas.
