Analysis of the effectiveness of the systems for providing thermal conditions of the local working areas based on the gas infrared emitters

Abstract

One of the urgent tasks in recent years is to reduce the cost of thermal energy to ensure the thermal regime of the local working areas in the production facilities. For these purposes, the gas infrared emitters (GIE) are increasingly used, but due to the lack of an informative base that provides the regulated thermal regime of the big-sized workrooms, their implementation is constrained. The article presents the results of the experimental and theoretical studies carried out to assess the efficiency of using such systems. The measurements of the temperatures of the floor surface at the characteristic points were carried out during the operation of the emitter of average power. The article presents the results of mathematical modeling of heat transfer in the surface layer of the floor which receives the heat flux from the GIE.
