Short wave quartz infrared heaters are used in various industrial applications. It contains a helically wrapped tungsten filament contained in a quartz envelope. Short wave quartz infrared heaters are utilized in industrial applications where quick heat generation is required. As the name suggests, these heaters function on infrared waves that are known to generate big amount of heat in a shorter span of time. Electromagnetic waves are used to convey heat from one point to another.
Advantages Short Wave Quartz Infrared Heaters
Short wave infrared heaters have a radiant efficiency of 92 percent or higher, which means
that only 8% of the energy produced is used to heat the air. That's why short wave infrared
warm surfaces first and foremost, they provide good coverage for open spaces. The working
range of relatively low-powered heaters can be surprisingly vast when paired with well-
designed and well-made parabolic reflectors.
Short wave infrared heaters also have the benefit of providing fast heat because maximal
efficiency is reached within one second of turning on. Because they travel through the
vacuum to radiate off surfaces like the sun's rays, they are great for spot heating with no
pre-heating necessary, even in places with air flow. They are frequently placed on timers or
proximity switches because their ability to turn on and off instantly saves energy. Their
energy.
Short wave infrared gives a slightly brighter ‘ambient’ glow when compared to Medium
wave because it is the closest to the visible part of the light spectrum. Visible light accounts
for 6% of the energy emitted, and recent improvements to combat the objection of harsh
light; have lowered this by gold coatings on the quartz tube and/or other color reflectors. In
comparison to Medium or Far infrared, the nature of radiant efficiency means that
reflectors are wider and parabolic, allowing for bigger areas of coverage for the same
wattage.
Applications of Short-Wave Quartz Infrared Heaters
Types of Short-Wave Quartz Infrared Heaters
Because infrared heat is more energy efficient than other heat sources because it acts
rapidly and directly on objects, it is ideal for all applications where achieving high
temperatures in the shortest amount of time is critical.
Heat Source Pvt. Ltd. is a leading supplier of shortwave and mediumwave quartz heaters, as
well as infrared lamps for most infrared dryers, pre-dryers, ovens, and comfort heaters.
Heat Source not only provides new bulbs, but we also frequently aid customers in
discovering why their infrared lights are breaking prematurely.
