14. Saving Energy with ILO's Far Infrared Technology
The sun, which is the world's oldest source of infrared heating, emits a wide radiant spectrum. It
ranges from the safe far infrared warmth, to dangerous and damaging ultraviolet wavelengths. The
sun's rays travel a great distance through space without requiring a medium to transmit its energy.
ILO's far infrared (FIR) radiant heating technology operates in the healthy and therapeutic "long
wavelength" part of the sun's emission spectrum (7,000 to 10,000nm, or 7 to10µ).
Far infrared can be found just outside of the visible light spectrum on the RHS of the picture below.
IR is safe non-ionizing radiation. The rays to the LHS of visible light rainbow banding – UV, X rays,
Gamma rays and Cosmic rays are dangerous ionizing radiation.
