WHAT IS INFRARED HEAT ?

 

Infrared is a type of light that we can't see with our eyes. Our eyes can only see what we call visable light. Infrared light brings us special information that we do not get from visable light. it shows us how much heat something has and gives us information about an object's temperature. Hot objects glow more brighty in the infrared image because they put out more heat and more Infrared light.. Cooler objects put out less heat or light and appear less bright in Infrared images.

The Infrared image below shows two test panels. Panel to the left, shows heat traveling through the surface.The panel to the right, which is coated with Nutech's NXT Cool Zone coating, Note: the Infrared light/heat being blocked from traveling through the panels surface. The result in short, a cooler surface below.
  In the infrared images shown , different colors are used to represent different temperatures. Temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit.
