The Vitramo heating system uses infrared heating elements to generate radiant heat which heats primarily the surfaces in the room and not the room air!
The Vitramo heating element is manufactured in a sandwich structure and consists of a pane of toughened safety glass, which is heated on the reverse side by a heat layer which converts electrical energy into heat. This heating layer is glass-fibre-reinforced and embedded in a plastic compound. The glass pane is coated white (RAL 9010) and satin-frosted on the room side. The reverse side of the heating element is efficiently thermally insulated and completed by an aluminiumcover which also encloses the sides.
The Vitramo heating system guarantees differentiated heating of the enveloping surfaces of rooms through the use of highly effective and nevertheless small-format and inexpensive heating elements which are available in different dimensions and rating classes. product specification
The Vitramo heating elements convert electrical energy into infrared radiant heat with virtually no losses. Because the inner room surfaces in particular are heated by the Vitramo heating system, the air temperature can be lower than the air temperature with a conventional heating system without living comfort being compromised. Since already reducing the air temperature by 1°C results in an energy saving of around 6%, Vitramo offers convincing economical heating technology!
A further advantage: Energy is saved after ventilation, because the fresh room air does not have to be reheated so high.
The infrared radiant heat not only heats the inner room envelope, but also dries the walling. The results are entirely positive: A dry wall insulates heat better than moisture. A dry wall reduces energy costs.
