From time immemorial, people have been looking for different ways to heat their homes. The question was especially urgent in the northern hemisphere of our planet. Harsh winters, drafts and dampness became the reasons for the high mortality of children, and caused a lot of suffering and illness to the elderly. Sudden climate changes in Europe caused many diseases due to the cold and lack of elementary hygiene. Just imagine, as early as the 10th century, grapes were ripening throughout the territory of modern Great Britain, and already in the 11th, noble barons wore a lot of clothes to at least somehow warm themselves in the castles that blew through. Of course, there could be no question of taking baths.
It was completely different in the territory of Kyivan Rus. Slavs were famous for their neatness. Bathing days were an integral part of everyday life. Houses were heated by stoves or hearths, but already in the 15th century, almost everyone switched to "white" heating, i.e., a classic stove with an outside chimney. Such a heating system contributed to the reduction of mortality, disease and overall improvement of the quality of life.
Such a stove was a kind of battery. Its design allowed, in addition to cooking, to use the stove as a kind of sanatorium for recovery after injuries, children and old people, as well as sick people, were put to sleep on the stove.
The surface of the furnace was a source of long-wave infrared rays (or "dark" rays), which contributed to quick recovery and simply warming up the room. Of course, our ancestors did not know what "infrared rays" were, but at the same time they perfectly understood their usefulness. Some villages still have houses with such stoves, and everyone who has visited such a house in winter knows that the heat of a heated house does not disappear, even if the room is opened and ventilated, it heats up in a matter of minutes.
This is due to the fact that the stove does not heat the air with infrared rays, but the surrounding objects, walls and floor. The outer surface of the furnace warms up to approximately 30-50 degrees (depending on the place on the surface), that is, it creates a feeling of solar heat.
This is exactly the effect achieved by manufacturers of long-wave infrared heaters. The surface of these devices heats up to no more than 80 degrees, so they do not burn oxygen and are completely fire-safe. When heating the room, infrared heaters create an atmosphere of comfortable solar heat. In a room heated by an infrared heater, there is no feeling of suffocation, which is especially important for small children and pregnant women. When the infrared heater is turned on, a comfortable and healthy sleep awaits you, because it does not reduce the natural humidity of the room. The low operating temperature of the device prevents burns and injuries.
In general, infrared heaters are one of the most modern and innovative ways of heating various rooms. They are specially created so that you feel the warmth similar to the sun's rays in any weather.
