How PTC Semiconductor Technology Sets Us Apart
How PTC Semiconductor Technology
Sets Relax Sauna Apart
At the core of Relax Sauna performance is a patented PTC semiconductor chip—engineered for precision, purity, and unmatched efficiency. This advanced far-infrared emitter is calibrated to resonate with the natural frequency of water molecules in the human body, enabling deeper penetration, faster warm-up, and sustained therapeutic output that conventional infrared systems cannot achieve.
Integrating Positive Temperature Coefficient
Integrating Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) semiconductor chips marks a true technological leap, setting Relax Saunas apart from all other infrared systems. This proprietary technology provides unmatched thermal precision, efficiency, and safety— delivering consistent, biologically meaningful far-infrared energy without spikes, hot spots, or degradation over time.
Technical Breakdown
Material Composition and Structure
Core Material: The Relax Saunas™ PTC semiconductor chip is composed of barium titanate (BaTiO₃), a ceramic-based compound doped with rare-earth elements such as yttrium and manganese to precisely tune electrical resistance.
Physical Characteristics: Encased in flame-retardant ceramic for structural durability and thermal insulation.
Operating Range:
Temperature: 104°F–158°F (40°C–70°C)
Voltage: 110–240V AC
Power Output: 200–500 watts per chip
The Only Advanced Self-Regulating Sauna on the Market: At startup, the PTC chip draws higher current for rapid warm-up. Once it reaches its Curie temperature, internal resistance increases automatically—stabilizing output without sensors or external controls. Relax Saunas™ reach optimal heat in 2–5 minutes vs. 15–30 minutes for conventional systems.
Uniform Heating & Airflow Distribution: Integrated fans positioned behind each chip maintain ±2°F temperature uniformity. Combined with the reflective inner chamber, heat is distributed evenly without hot spots.
Wavelength Comparison
| Light Type | Wavelength Range |
|---|---|
| Far Infrared PTC Chip | 7–14 µm |
| Near Infrared | 1.2–6 µm |
| Red Light | 600–900 nm |
The 7–14 µm band is ideal for interacting with water molecules to stimulate detoxification, circulation, and inflammation reduction.
Cellular Detoxification: Releases toxins at a molecular level.
Improved Circulation: Promotes vasodilation and nutrient delivery.
Pain Relief: Reduces inflammation in deep tissues.
Penetration Depth Comparison
| Light Type | Penetration Depth |
|---|---|
| Far Infrared PTC Chip | 50–120 mm (2–5 inches) |
| Near Infrared | 20 mm (0.75 inches) |
| Red Light | 2–5 mm |
Far infrared penetrates deeper into tissue, delivering systemic benefits ideal for detox, circulation, and pain relief.
Maintenance Comparison
| Sauna Type | Maintenance Needs |
|---|---|
| Relax Sauna | 20,000+ hours of operation, no bulb replacement |
| Near-Infrared or Halogen Systems | Frequent bulb replacement and thermal degradation |
