How much does a Linus radiant panel consume?

Very simple, just take its power, for example 400W.
Clearly the hourly consumption will be 0.4 kWh; consequently the consumption of 8 hours will be 3.2 kWh.
If we consider that the cost of 1 kWh is € 0.24 we easily have the cost of 8 hours of operation: € 0.80!
Let’s remember that the classic electric heater that is usually used in a bathroom, with a power of 2,500W, consumes – in 1 hour – € 0.60 and, consequently, in 8 hours a good € 5.10.

Is it dangerous to touch a panel when it is turned on?

LINUS radiant panels have an average surface temperature of about 75°C.
Accidental contact with a surface that develops such temperatures is not dangerous. Much more dangerous is a stove (wood or pellet) that develops temperatures above 300°C where accidental contact can cause burns.

Is LINUS compliant with European regulations?

How does Linus technology work?

By effectively exploiting the long wave of infrared radiation.
In a much simpler way: just as the sun is able to heat the surfaces it hits at a considerable distance, the infrared of the panels heats us.
Irradiation is a heat exchange system that uses infrared waves as a transfer vector. Infrared waves hit everything around them, exchanging thermal energy between opaque solid bodies.
The advantages of this principle are many.
First of all, the homogeneity of the heat distributed over the entire radiating surface that allows for highly performing thermal radiation.
With Amatherm technology, inside Linus, there is a total absence of electromagnetic emissions.
Furthermore, unlike traditional heating systems, there is no stratification of the air in the upper part of the heated environment. In this way, unnecessary waste of energy and heat is avoided and significant savings in energy consumption are achieved.
Finally, Linus panels – very easy to install and repositionable at will without problems – are powered by non-demanding voltages. Working well below the wear tolerance of the material, the radiant elements ensure a complete absence of maintenance and can operate continuously for many years.

Why choose an infrared radiant heating system?

Only solid bodies – walls, ceilings, furniture -, and not air, absorb infrared. Once heated, these solid elements also transform into radiant elements. In this way, the rooms are heated in a widespread and uniform manner.
With heated walls, moreover, radiant electric heating is allowed to reach thermal comfort at lower temperatures than any traditional convective system.
