Infrared Radiation (IR) is emitted from all everyday objects, it has many uses in everyday life but here our focus is on its ability to heat objects without direct contact with the heat source. Infrared is electromagnetic radiation, similar in nature to light but in a longer wavelength range. Infrared elements are generally classified into the 3 categories below according to their peak energy or peak emission wavelength.
CERAMIC ELEMENTS |
|---|
| Ceramic infrared heating elements are efficient, robust heaters which provide long wave infrared radiation. They are used in a diverse range of industrial processes such as thermoforming, paint curing, printing and drying. They are also used very effectively in infrared outdoor heaters and infrared saunas. |
QUARTZ ELEMENTS |
|---|
| Quartz infrared heating elements provide medium wave infrared radiation. They are favoured in industrial applications where rapid heater response is necessary, including systems with long heater off cycles. |
QUARTZ TUNGSTEN ELEMENTS |
|---|
| Ceramicx Ireland produces extremely penetrative infrared emitters using two types of tungsten filaments : the porcupine or star type filament for fast medium wave emitters, and the supported filament for short wave halogen emitters. |
