"The article presents the results of creating a low-cost heat recovery system on the example of ""light"" of the gas infrared emitter by changing a single-layer thin-walled reflector to reflector upgraded on the principle of ""water jacket"" and the results of testing the effectiveness of modernized design on a specially designed stand. As a result, it was concluded that the streamlined design of the reflector gas infrared emitter will minimize the loss of heat towards the ceiling of the building and to avoid condensation on the inner surface of the roofs, a violation of the thermal regime, and as a consequence of premature failure of the roof and walling. In addition, through the use of exhaust heat for heating the coolant (water) flowing through a modernized reflector increases the efficiency of the system of gas infrared heating by 10%."

The article examines the existing approaches to regulation and control of gas infrared heating in industrial premises. The analysis revealed that the conventional approach to the design and implementation of such systems leads to many drawbacks: cost overruns of energy, high wear of equipment from the constant on / off and a ""cold start"", etc. These shortcomings directly affect the monthly outgoings towards the creation of the thermal conditions in the room. As a result it was proposed at the design stage of the gas infrared heating systems to pay close attention to the regulation and control, namely, new approaches to the organization of the automation of gas infrared heating. Furthermore, the results of an experiment conducted on the real object.
