What wavelength do infrared heaters use?
Ceramic infrared heating elements are used in a diverse range of industrial processes where long wave infrared radiation is required. Their useful wavelength range is 2–10 μm.
Do infrared heaters glow red?
You’ll be familiar with infrared heaters used outdoors in places like pub gardens, which do indeed glow red. However, these use ‘near infrared’ radiation, which is typically somewhat harsh heat. For more information on infrared heaters call us on 01934 253600.
Do infrared heaters heat the room?
The short answer is yes, infrared heaters can heat a house. In fact, they’re great for keeping your entire home warm. These modern electric heating solutions offer a deep level of warmth for your living room, bathroom, bedroom and even your garden.
What are long wave ceramic infrared heaters?
Long Wave Ceramic Infrared Emitters are robust, standardized and very competitively priced. At 300 °C to 750 °C the ceramic heaters emit medium to long wave IR-radiation between 2 and 10 µm. Most plastics and many other materials absorb this wave length range very well.
What is short-wave infrared heating?
Short-wave infrared is sometimes referred to as ‘near infrared’ and Long-wave infrared referred to as ‘far infrared’. Why Tansun Short-wave Heaters? The infrared short-wave technology of Tansun quartz radiant heaters instantly provide heat as soon as they are turned on.
What is the difference between high frequency and medium wave heaters?
High-frequency heat waves penetrate the air without warming it, with no loss caused by draughts or from the heat rising. Long and Medium wave infrared heaters will not heat an outdoor area properly as they are both susceptible to air movement.
What are the different types of infrared heating?
Types of infrared heating. Infrared heating is generally split into three categories – Short Wave, Medium Wave and Long Wave. Infrared waves are part of the natural light spectrum from the sun, without skin-damaging ultraviolet radiation.
