Being a tax advisor is a hard job – Mr. Podlešák spends up to 14 hours at the computer dealing with hundreds of thousands of figures every day. So to relax he goes down to his
workshop in the basement…

Electric current runs through the unit which has high resistance, this heats up the built-in resistor and via the heat-emitting panel emits infrared rays of the required wavelength (i.e. the so called long-wavelength infrared rays).
The long-wavelength IR radiation is nowadays the most effective way how to convert electric energy into heat. This heat radiation has a natural ability to warm up objects far easier than heat produced by gas heating or conventional electric heaters. Up to 80% of the radiation gets absorbed by the objects in the room.
The principle of procuring heat by means of IR radiation is hardly new, on the contrary. Nevertheless, the truly novel thing is in this case the combination of various unique features brought together in the design of PION:
Specifically the band of this wavelength corresponds with the human body biology and the way it perceives heat; for people actually emit heat at these IR lengths. The same heat-emitting range has been known to humankind for centuries, whether from heating by a tiled stove or, even earlier, earth stove.
The unique oval shape of the unit, when seen from the side, is ideal for optimally emitting heat rays in an angle of 120° thus ensuring peak efficiency as well as heat saturation of the maximum surface area in the room.
The special powder paint finish used on the casing helps PION heaters reach high infrared emission figures.
Thanks to the brand new lightweight materials, state-of-the art engineering and modern technology employed in the making of the PION unit, even the most powerful model, which is PION 13 with an incredible 1400 W rating, weighs only as little as 5 kg (just for comparison, an infrared heating panel manufactured by competition has as much as 30 kg in weight!).
