Working Principles:

  • Traditional Electric Heaters: These heaters use electric heating elements (such as heating tubes) to directly heat sauna stones or water, generating heat and steam. This method primarily relies on air conduction and convection to transfer heat.
  • Far Infrared Technology: This approach uses far-infrared radiation as a heat source. Far-infrared rays can penetrate the skin surface, directly heating internal body tissues rather than just the surrounding air. This means that people can feel warmth even at relatively lower ambient temperatures.

Health Benefits:

  • Traditional Electric Heaters: While effective, prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity can cause discomfort such as dizziness and breathing difficulties. Additionally, since it mainly heats the air indirectly, its effectiveness in promoting blood circulation is less pronounced compared to far-infrared heating.
  • Far Infrared Technology: Far-infrared rays can deeply penetrate the skin, promoting blood circulation, enhancing microcirculation, aiding in the removal of waste from the body, and alleviating muscle pain and arthritis symptoms, offering stronger health benefits.

Energy Efficiency:

  • Traditional Electric Heaters: Typically higher in energy consumption because a significant amount of energy is used to heat the air and sauna stones, with some of this heat escaping through walls and windows.
  • Far Infrared Technology: Being more efficient as it directly affects the human body, far-infrared heating devices can provide the same level of comfort at lower operating temperatures, thus reducing energy consumption.

User Experience:

  • Traditional Electric Heaters: Can increase the humidity within the sauna room, affecting respiratory comfort.
  • Far Infrared Technology: Provides a drier and gentler heating environment, allowing users to enjoy a  comfortable sauna  experience at lower temperatures, making it suitable for those who prefer not to be exposed to excessively high temperatures.

In conclusion, while both heating methods achieve temperature increases, far infrared technology offers additional advantages in terms of health benefits, energy efficiency, and user experience.
