A system of targeted infrared radiant heating for people indoors

Abstract

A targeted infrared radiant heating system for indoor occupants. This utility model pertains to heat engineering, specifically radiant heating systems for buildings and structures, and can be used in warehouses, production facilities, logistics centers, hangars, refrigeration and freezing rooms, and in spaces with high ceilings. The system comprises at least one zone A infrared emitter, a control unit, and a human detection system comprising a thermal imaging camera, millimeter-wave radar, and / or PIR sensors connected to the control unit. The infrared emitter is configured as a matrix of independently controlled infrared emitting elements connected to the control unit and a power controller. The occupant detection system determines the spatial position of people in the room, and the control unit uses this data to adjust the distribution of infrared thermal radiation and direct radiant heating toward the occupied zone, including simultaneously targeting multiple people in different areas of the room. When the room is empty, the radiation power is reduced. The system may also include infrared emitters in Zone B, connected to the control unit. Infrared emitters can be mounted on a horizontal and / or vertical rotation mechanism connected to the control unit via a bidirectional communication line. The technical result consists in increasing the efficiency of radiant heating and reducing energy consumption due to dynamic control of the distribution of infrared thermal radiation depending on the position of people in the room, as well as in reducing the heating of the air and surrounding surfaces and increasing the individual thermal comfort of users.
