Rã-Key is made of a micathermic element composed of a fine sheet of the mineral mica. This heater works by combining two forms of heating; convection and reflection. The mica mineral can supply up to 99 percent heat to the air instantly and it never overheats. This differs greatly from older styles of conventional heaters in that they are capable of circulating warm air more quickly and feature a quiet mode of operation. Another advantage of today’s micathermic technology is that it is much lighter than a standard heater.
The heat it provides is a different type of heat from conventional heaters. Micathermic heat crosses between radiant and convection and is described as a constant heat. The heat provided feels much more like the heat from the sun itself, actually warming objects (you), not just the air itself. So those warm, enveloping sensations you are experiencing from sunlight and it`s resulting heat is actually radiant, or infrared heat.
Radiant heat or infrared energy gives out heat once it hits the surface of objects in which molecules will be vibrated to emit heat. Infrared energy is the most efficient, direct and stable heat in the earth.
Radiant heaters are healthier than traditional heaters in that it does not heat the air in the room, but heats directly the persons and the objects. Because the method is much more direct and efficient, it is thought to be a superior pain relief method to conventional heat. It does not burn any oxygen in the room and does not need any air current. Health benefits associated with this new heater include they do not spread dust and do not dry out moisture in the air. This helps avoid skin irritation problems and is an advantage for those prone to asthma issues.
Micathermic heaters are far more economical than older types of heaters, bring savings on electricity charges. These heaters emit radiant heat in the most effective, fast, persistent way, and also offers a safe and reliable performance.
