Infrared Sauna: A modern sauna experience
The benefits of saunas have been passed down from ancient times to this day, and they are welcomed and loved by people all over the world. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of modern science and technology, infrared sauna technology continues to mature, and even infrared sauna has become mainstream. So, what is the difference between infrared sauna and traditional sauna? Alphasauna often receives questions from customers, and by the way, we would like to introduce Alphasauna’s infrared sauna.
Infrared sauna
Infrared sauna is a sauna equipment that uses infrared radiation for heating. Unlike traditional sauna furnaces, it does not need to heat stones to generate steam. Instead, it directly heats the human body and object surfaces through infrared radiation. Infrared saunas are usually made of wood or metal materials and have an enclosed space with infrared heating panels inside. Users can adjust the temperature of the sauna room through the control panel to meet personal comfort needs.
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength that can penetrate the air and directly transfer energy to the surface of an object. Infrared heating mainly uses infrared rays to interact with the surface of an object, causing it to absorb infrared ray energy and produce a thermal effect. An infrared heating panel is installed inside the infrared sauna, which generates infrared radiation and transmits energy to the human body and objects in the room. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the human body indirectly by heating the air, infrared saunas directly transfer energy to the human body's skin, causing a thermal effect inside the human body, promoting blood circulation, accelerating metabolism, and bringing effects similar to exercise.
The temperature of the infrared sauna is relatively low and can be controlled between 40°c and 60°c. It is gentler than the traditional sauna. The infrared sauna is suitable for those who do not like the high temperature and high humidity environment of the traditional sauna because It has a lower temperature but still provides deep heat therapy.
The difference between infrared sauna and traditional sauna
Heating principle:
Traditional sauna: It is heated by a stone furnace. The heated stones in the furnace release steam, creating a high-temperature and humid environment.
Infrared sauna: Uses infrared heating technology to directly heat the human body and objects instead of heating the air.
Temperature and humidity:
Traditional sauna: High temperature (usually between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius) and low humidity make the body sweat faster, promoting detoxification and blood circulation.
Infrared saunas: Lower temperatures (usually between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius) but can have higher humidity, better suited for those who don't like extremely high temperatures.
For people:
Traditional Sauna: For those who prefer extremely high temperatures and a dry environment, as well as those who value the traditional sauna experience.
Infrared sauna: More suitable for people who are sensitive to high temperatures and value comfort. It can also be used for some special conditions, such as arthritis patients.
Mechanism:
Traditional sauna: Heats air and stones to create steam, causing the body to sweat and eliminate toxins.
Infrared sauna: Directly heats the deep tissues of the body through infrared rays, promotes blood circulation, and relieves muscle pain and tension.
Energy consumption and warm-up time:
Traditional sauna: requires a relatively long warm-up time and consumes high energy.
Infrared sauna: No long warm-up required and relatively low energy consumption.
Space requirements:
Traditional sauna: Usually requires a larger space with a dedicated room.
Infrared sauna: Relatively flexible and can be installed in smaller spaces, even for home use.
