Experimental study of temperature distributions over the heat supply object surface located at a different height in a room with a working infrared heater

Experimental studies of heat transfer in the “emitter – air – heat supply object” system have been carried out in order to register the horizontal surface temperatures depending on the distance to the infrared heater. According to the results of the experiments, it was found that the temperature of the equipment surface areas influenced by the heater is significantly uneven. The temperature difference can reach 20 degrees, and an increase in the height of the object by 2 times increases its surface temperature by 67%. It has been established the need of considering the possible overheating of equipment located in zones heated by infrared heaters when developing systems for ensuring the regulatory thermal regime in large industrial premises.
