Ambient Heat
Ambient heat is the heat or temperature of the surrounding air. Example: The air temperature in a factory setting is 100°F (38°C).
Radiant Heat
With radiant heat, energy rays are radiated by a heat source. Example: The radiant heat next to a hot water pipe is 160°F (70°C). Radiant heat decreases as one walks away from the pipe.
Conductive Heat
Conductive heat is heat transferred as a result of direct contact with a heat source. Example: In a factory setting, the temperature of a hot water pipe is 160°F (70°C).
