We all know that the sun constitutes an enormous energy source. This energy is carried to the Earth by electro-magnetic rays. This radiation is subdivided into various wavelengths. The unit of measurement used is the nanometer (nm).
The radiation's energy depends on its wavelength.
The higher the frequency of the waves and the shorter the wavelength, the more energy such radiation can carry. Of the total radiation, only the part not absorbed by our atmosphere reaches the Earth's surface.
The radiation which reaches our Earth's surface at sea level is called irradiation. It contains ultraviolet light (UV radiation), visible light and infrared radiation (IR).
The radiation is subdivided into various wavelengths:
Infrared radiation carries heat from the Sun to the earth.
The artificially produced radiation is comparable with the natural radiation.
The advantage of the artificial infrared radiation is that we can control it.
In an infrared cabin, the infrared radiation is produced by electric radiators and directed in such a way that
the best possible effect on the body is achieved in the cabin.
The effect of the radiation always follows the principle (heating up the body). The difference lies in how the heat penetrates the body.
With long-wave radiation, basically only the surface is heated up.
With short-wave IR radiation, the radiation penetrates the body more deeply.
Infrared radiation A
As a result of emission of this irradiation range, the sun's deep heat radiation is experienced in a reduced form. It reaches the central skin layers and has a pleasant and beneficial effect on the body.
Infrared radiation B
The penetration depth of this radiation is lower than that of the IR A radiation. Even after a short time, you feel the beneficial effect of the deep heat on your body.
Infrared radiation C
This radiation is already absorbed on the skin's surface. It is emitted, for example, by radiators, hot-water bottles and other sources and can be shown by thermal imaging cameras.
Sun
The Sun's infrared radiation is made up as follows:
63% short-wave infrared radiation A
27% medium-wave infrared radiation B
10% long-wave infrared radiation C
JOKEY cabins with infrared radiators with deep heat (red light)
The infrared radiation of these cabins is made up as follows:
27% short-wave infrared radiation A
58% medium-wave infrared radiation B
15% long-wave infrared radiation C
JOKEY cabins with magnesium radiators
The infrared radiation of these cabins is made up as follows:
0% short-wave infrared radiation A
5% medium-wave infrared radiation B
95% long-wave infrared radiation C
Jokey cabins with surface radiators
The infrared radiation of these cabins is made up as follows:
0% short-wave infrared radiation A
0% medium-wave infrared radiation B
100% long-wave infrared radiation C
Compared to cabins with magnesium or surface heaters, because of the special properties (radiation spectrum, see above, and effective depth, see diagram), the following advantages are produced:
Calibration and certification of the JOKEY infrared radiators have been carried out by a physico-technical institute, and a certificate has been produced by an international medical centre/institute for research and development of Biophotonics and Optical Diagnostics.
Note: Cabins with magnesium radiators or surface radiators do not have deep heat and function only in the C wave range (heat is already absorbed on the skin surface).
