Perbedaan Pola Peningkatan Suhu Bahan Biologis dan Non-Biologis yang Dipapar Sinar Far-Infrared
ABSTRACT: Low power
of Far-Infrared Rays
(FIR) emitted by
artificial radiators have
been used for
many diseases associated with
blood vessels disorder. FIR also used to regulate temperature in incubator for
infant. This study aims at exploring correlation pattern between FIR and
temperature, producing a biological simulator model from a non-biological
material for further research can be initiated. Differentiation factors between
biological and non-biological material that exposed to FIR also could be
determined. A radiant far-infrared type T-FSR was placed 20 cm above the
objects (umbilicus and gel). Then both surface and inside temperature of the objects
measured continuously using
Thermistor series D-S06
and series D-RB2.
Room humidity maintained at
constant levels (60%). This study found a significant correlation between FIR
and temperature increasing both on the umbilicus and on the gel. Influence of
FIR intensity on temperature can be formulated into the formula: T_umb_U1 =
27,6 + 0,00554 FIR and T_umb_U2 = 27,8 + 0,00560 FIR, while on the gel were T_gel_U1
= 24,9 + 0,00430 FIR and T_gel_U2 = 25,0 + 0,00428 FIR. The increasing
temperature on the umbilicus due to FIR followed a sigmoid curve pattern. While
on the gel, followed an exponential pattern. For further reserach,
a non-biological material
(synthetic) can be
manipulated, composed, and
designed to produce the same
pattern as biological material when exposed to FIR.
