- Quartz heating is a type of radiant heating using infrared waves to directly heat the surfaces of objects. - Quartz heaters use optically designed reflectors to direct the infrared energy in specific patterns. - The heat travels in parallel lines similar to the sun and can pass through the vacuum of space. - Quartz heaters work by using a heating element enclosed in a quartz tube to create heat at the necessary wavelength. - The infrared heat emitted from quartz heaters is ideal for the human body. - The article discusses the properties of heated quartz and its use as a heating source. - Short wave halogen heat lamps consisting of a tungsten filament heated to a temperature of about 2200º Celsius are mentioned. - The tungsten filament evaporates over time, but the addition of halogen gas to the lamp prevents the tungsten from being deposited on the lamp's wall. - Ruby sleeves or gold dichroic coating are used to filter out intense white light and provide a warm glow. - The article also states that short wave quartz heaters have a radiant efficiency of up to 96%, while medium wave heaters have an efficiency of around 60%. - The article concludes by mentioning that the number of heaters needed for proper comfort heating depends on factors such as mounting heights, accurate spacing, reflector beam patterns, and heat wattage. - Quartz heating elements provide short to medium wavelength radiation and are used for rapid heater response. - They are commonly seen in thermoforming or vacuum forming applications. - Quartz heating elements are often used to directly heat objects or keep people warm. - They are commonly used in outdoor seating areas of bars and restaurants. - The heat is not affected by wind, providing a direct heat source. - The quartz tube emits heat when it reaches a specific temperature. - Full-sized quartz heaters are 248x62mm in size, with average surface temperatures between 430°C and 770°C. - Half-sized quartz heating emitters are 125x62mm in size, with average surface temperatures between 500°C and 750°C. - Wattage options for half-sized quartz heaters include 200w, 250w, 325w, and 500w, while full-sized quartz heaters go up to 1000w. - Quartz heating elements have a rapid heat-up time and fast cool down. - Under Control offers quantity discount pricing on quartz element heaters, with discounts up to 20% for purchasing 51 or more units. - Quartz heaters use infrared technology and consist of quartz tubes with a coiled resistance wire that heats up. - Quartz heating elements are expected to last between 20,000 and 60,000 hours. - Quartz heaters are efficient and quick in heating up and cooling down. - They are safe to use as they do not burn oxygen and do not release toxic gases. - The power consumption of quartz heaters varies depending on the rating, with the Under Control quartz heating emitters ranging from 200w to 1000w.
