The infrared cabin guide for the model TrioSol
What is infrared heat ?
It is a kind of energy that is conveyed by the sun, by all warm and hot objects and by the human body. This infrared radiation has nothing to do
with UV-radiation which can cause sunburns, for example, neither with radioactivity or microwaves.
The effects of infrared radiation on the body:
From a medical point of view, the beneficial effect of regular perspiration baths for one´s health has been undisputed for years. Not everybody,
tolerates the hot air of normal saunas. Infrared heat cabins therefore offer a unique alternative. When heated, our infrared ceramic heaters convey
long-wave infrared radiation. This infrared radiation is absorbed by the upper layers of the body´s skin. The thermal energy penetrates into the
blood-circulated skin layers. The increased blood circulation quickly distributes heat to the whole organism. The body reacts by raising its tem-
perature - the so-called fever effect. (Already more than 2000 years ago, the famous scholar Paemendides said: „Give me the possibility to create
fever and I will cure every disease"). The resulting natural perspiration may cause many healthy processes. The positive effect of infrared heat is
clearly proved in medicine. Ist specific use can cause relief of injuries of tendons as well as muscular tensions and a relaxation of the whole mus-
cular system. Our body continuously takes in harmful chemicals through foods, drinks, the air etc. If used for a longer period of time, it can clearly
reduce these poisonous substances in the body and strengthen the immune system. Our heat cabins, however, shall not be used for self-treatments.
Please resolve any medical questions with your doctor.
How does an infrared heat cabin work and how is it used ?
In our heat cabins, we use ceramic heating panels which are electrically heated. The hot heater surface conveys infrared radiatoin. If this radiation
reaches a body, the non-reflected part leads to heating. This infrared energy is extremely effective in contrast to other thermal methods, because it
heats only the body which is reached by radiation. Thereby about 80 - 85 % of the energy spent, directly heat the body and only a small part of the
radiant heat warms up the humid particles in the air.
Therefore we recommend:
Use the heat cabin already with a temperature of 30 - 35° C, because heating the cabin to 45 - 50° C is a waste of energy and time. Let yourself be
warmed up by the infrared radiation at low temperatures. At the moment YOU are in the cabin, the infrared radiation has got a body to be warmed
up. The cabin then reaches the chosen temperature much faster.
Your first heat cabin session:
We recommend to adapt the cabin temperature to your fitness and health. The ideal inside temperature is between 35 - 50° C. As soon as the inside
temperature has reached 30° C, you can start. Open the ventialation slide after about 10 - 20 min in order to have a better air circulation. The ideal
duration of a session is about 30 min. with surface heating. With an infrared A radiator it is 10 to 15 min. with 100 % power. The duration of a
session can be increased in case of lower power of the A radiators. In the beginning, however, you should not exagerate, adapt the time to your state
of health. Many years of experience have shown, that our customers have had to „learn" how to perspirate. During the first heat cabin sessions,
they needed more time until they started to perspirate strongly. After several regular uses of the cabin, the body gets used to perspirate. After a
settling-in period, you will reach a bigger perspiration volume in a heat cabin than in a sauna. Therefore it is sufficient to use it just once instead
of more times with the sauna. We recommend not to use the cabin more than 2 - 3 x per week and to have a break of 1 day between the sessions.
Do not use any substances that suppress the natural heat pain threshold (alcohol, drugs, medication). In case of too strong heat feeling on
the skin, change the sitting position.
Hygiene and cleaning:
- Always put towels on the bench
- For easy cleaning of the floor, we also recommend to put towels or heat resistant plastic mat (up to 70° C) on the floor. A cork floor that can
be wiped, is very recommendable, too.
- Clean the cabin regularly. Before cleaning disconnect the plug. Best for cleaning are cleaning agents for saunas.
Where and how do you install the infrared heat cabin ?
To operate a heat cabin, you need a simple socket and a surface of approx. 1 - 2 m². It can easily be integrated in a living-, fitness-, cellar– or
bath-room. You do not need a ventilation outlet cowl nor have to take any measures against extraordinary moisture. You can install the cabin on
carpet, parquet, tile or laminate floors. The short pre-heating time and the low electricity consumption (already from 1600 W/h) allow economic
perspiration.
Tests and certificates:
One of our heat cabins was tested in 2001 by scientists of the Austrian Research Centre Seibersdorf according to the ineternational guidelines and
limits for infrared radiation, leading to a positive expert report. Our heat cabins are also periodically tested by the TÜV-GS test centres according
to international regulations and safety rules.
