Development of a physical model for heat supply in industrial premises using localized infrared heating

Abstract

The article examines the application of infrared heating systems in industrial premises to maintain a comfortable temperature while minimizing energy consumption. The authors have proposed a physical model for a production room utilizing film infrared heaters to regulate the temperature in the working area. This model incorporates heat transfer processes and thermal balances within the room, taking into account factors such as human heat release, convective heat transfer, and infrared radiation. Heat balance equations for air, the human body and external surfaces have been derived to analyze the heat distribution and energy efficiency of the infrared heating system. The study underscores the significance of innovative heating technologies in enhancing thermal comfort and energy efficiency in industrial buildings.
