Infrared Sauna: Before and After Using an Infrared Rays Heater

Many customers of Alpha Sauna have consulted two common issues:

1. The sauna room has insufficient power and heats up too slowly. What should I do?

2. During winter, environmental factors slow down the overall heating speed of the sauna. How can I improve it?

Both questions concern heating efficiency. If replacing the sauna room is not an option, we recommend using an infrared tube heater!

To provide customers with accurate insights, we conducted a practical test using one underpowered sauna: 1800×1800 cm infrared sauna (4.5 kW power)

Additionally, we introduced two 500W microcrystalline glass carbon fiber far-infrared tubes and used five thermometer-hygrometer dashboards for comparison.

Testing Setup & Method

Five temperature and humidity dashboards were placed in different locations inside the sauna to simulate temperature variations. （Near the sauna’s temperature probe、On the floor、On the stool、In the middle of the sauna wall、On the top of the sauna）

This setup allowed us to measure the sauna’s heating speed under normal conditions and the infrared rays heater. Below are our findings.

1800×1800 cm Square Infrared Sauna Room (4500W Power)

Under normal conditions, the 1800×1800 cm infrared square sauna room should be equipped with a 6 kW heating plate. It operates within a temperature range of 40℃-65℃ with a humidity level of 15%-30% and can reach the set temperature within a specified time.

As shown in the data above, when the outdoor temperature was 9°C, we added two 500W infrared tube heaters. Despite the low outdoor temperature, this addition significantly improved the heating efficiency inside the sauna room. Additionally, the infrared square sauna room can reach 65°C within one hour, with a maximum temperature of even up to 74°C. (The temperature drop after one hour in the figure is due to the sauna room’s internal system being set to operate for only one hour.)

As shown in the figure above, when the outdoor temperature is 26°C, the heating efficiency of the 4.5 kW square infrared sauna room can generally meet customer needs. However, due to insufficient power, the overall temperature of the sauna room struggles to reach between 60-65°C. (The temperature drop after one hour in the figure occurs because the infrared sauna’s internal system is set to operate for only one hour.)

Conclusion

Adding carbon fiber far-infrared heating tubes to the infrared sauna not only enhances heating efficiency but also provides localized infrared therapy, offering the dual benefit of improved warmth and light therapy. This solution is especially effective for underpowered infrared sauna rooms, making it a perfect upgrade.

Where Are Heat Infrared Heaters Tube Usually Installed in Saunas?

Infrared tube heaters are typically designed with a backrest style to provide targeted, comfortable, localized treatment. In traditional square or barrel saunas, they can be installed in various positions—except on glass surfaces—as they require support from a wooden panel. In infrared saunas, infrared ray heaters can be either recessed into the wall for a seamless look or mounted independently to enhance the overall aesthetics.

Are the Infrared Rays Heater Tubes manufactured by Alphasauna Waterproof?

Answer: Our sauna heat infrared heaters hav an IP54 waterproof rating, effectively preventing water splashes from all directions. Despite being in a dry steam sauna with humidity levels between 10%– 20%, it is designed to avoid short-circuit issues caused by excessive steam exposure.

What is the Difference Between a Carbon Fiber Heating Tube and a Quartz Heating Tube?

Carbon Fiber Infrared Rays Heating Tube:

Provides 100% pure infrared heating and a strong far-infrared therapy function. It heats up instantly (1-3 seconds) and offers high impact and corrosion resistance. Average has a long lifespan (5,000–10,000 hours) with no oxidation issues.

Quartz Heating Tube:

It uses a mixed heating method (far infrared + convection) rather than being 100% far-infrared, resulting in average thermal efficiency due to heat loss through air convection. The quartz heating tube requires 5-10 seconds to heat up as it needs preheating (using a resistance wire).

Additionally, it has a shorter lifespan (2,000–5,000 hours) and is brittle and prone to breakage. While quartz itself is corrosion-resistant, the metal resistance wire may oxidize over time.

Professional Tip:

Carbon fiber infrared heating tube is ideal for those who need fast heating, high efficiency, long service life, and strong therapeutic effects, while quartz heating tubes are a more budget-friendly option suited for general heating needs.

How Long Should I Use an Infrared Rays Heater Tube?

If you use it in a traditional sauna, the duration depends on your body’s adaptation. Due to the high-temperature environment, it is generally recommended to stay for no more than 15 minutes.

In an infrared sauna, where the temperature is typically maintained at 40–65℃, sessions can last between 30–60 minutes. （Always listen to your body—if you feel uncomfortable, leave the sauna immediately.）

Is the Infrared Rays Heater Tube the Same as an Infrared Sauna?

Although both far-infrared light therapy and full-spectrum therapy fall under the infrared category, they differ in terms of penetration depth, heat generation, and therapeutic applications.

Far-infrared light is a form of invisible light capable of penetrating the skin to a depth of 0.5 to 2 centimeters, where it generates thermal energy through molecular resonance. It exerts significant therapeutic effects on deep tissues and is frequently utilized to alleviate pain, enhance blood circulation, facilitate muscle recovery, and promote physical and mental relaxation.

However, most infrared saunas feature only mid-infrared or far-infrared emitters. In contrast, the comprehensive phototherapeutic coverage provided by full-spectrum infrared tube heaters—which simultaneously encompass the near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared bands—enables multi-layered therapeutic action ranging from the skin’s surface down to the deep tissues:

Near-Infrared: Primarily targets the skin’s surface, aiding in skin repair and aesthetic care.
Mid-Infrared: Promotes blood circulation and boosts metabolism.
Far-Infrared: Penetrates deep into tissues, delivering profound heat therapy and relaxation effects.Specific health goals.
