I will explain how to calculate the amount of thermal energy radiated from a far infrared heater.
The amount of thermal energy radiated from a far-infrared heater can be calculated using the following formula: Q = σ × ε × T⁴ × A σ: Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.6697 × 10⁻¹² (W·cm⁻²·K⁻⁴·h⁻¹) = 20.4 × 10⁻⁸ (KJ·m⁻²·K⁻⁴·h⁻¹) ε: Emissivity (0.9) T: Absolute temperature (273℃ + X℃) A: Heater surface area (m²) 【Calculation Example】 ○ Calculation example for a panel-type heater with an emissivity of 0.9 at 500℃, measuring 300×400mm → Thermal radiation energy Q = 20.4 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.9 × (273 + 500)⁴ × (0.3 × 0.4) = 7866 (KJ/h) ○ When manufacturing a heater with the above performance, → Since 1KW is 3600KJ, 7866/3600 equals 2185W → Therefore, theoretically, creating a 2.2kW heater would be sufficient.
