S16 -- Infrared Radiant Heating (I-P)

Infrared radiant heating principles discussed in this chapter apply to equipment with thermal radiation source temperatures ranging from 300 to 5000F (150 to 2760C). (Equipment with source temperatures starting from below the indoor air temperature to 300F [150C] is classified as panel heating and cooling equipment, discussed in Chapter 6 of the 2024 ASHRAE Handbook -- HVAC Systems and Equipment.)
