Medium wave heaters with clear tube are radiant infrared heaters designed for efficient heat transfer in industrial and commercial applications.
These heaters emit infrared radiation in the medium wavelength range (approximately 2–4 microns) and feature a clear quartz tube that houses a heating element (typically a tungsten or alloy filament). The clear quartz allows for optimal IR radiation transmission while protecting the filament.
Key Features:
- Wavelength range: ~2–4 microns (ideal for heating surfaces and moisture-rich materials)
- Rapid heat-up and cool-down times
- Clear quartz tube: ensures efficient IR output and protects the element
- Horizontal or vertical mounting
Common Applications:
- Drying paints, inks, and coatings
- Thermoforming plastics
- Food warming and cooking
- Textile and paper processing
- Glass processing
Advantages:
- High energy efficiency with targeted heating
- Quick response time
- Clean, non-contact heat source
- Suitable for automated and continuous processes
