Abstract This report presents the results of laboratory tests of tube heaters. Measurements of convective and radiant heat transfer were carried out at ambient temperatures of between -2°C to +15°C, while simultaneously changing the strenuousness of the tasks, work postures (sitting or standing) and tube intensities. The evaluations took account of physiological effects and subjective assessments. Findings are discussed.
