QUARTZ TUBE INFRARED HEATERS

 
Quartz tube infrared heaters are most often applied for fast response applications. The panel heater has a lot of mass and therefore requires much more time to get up to the operating temperature. Quartz tubes have virtually no mass and come up to temperature in short order. The heating element design dictates the actual time required for the heater to come up to temperature. Kinetics offers a dual twisted heating element for ultra-fast warm-up applications and a single heating element for applications where speed is not as much of an issue and longer heater life is more desirable.

The quartz tubes can be provided with many different end terminations to meet the needs of the equipment manufacturer. The images display several of the available options. Kinetics will also design custom end terminations that match the equipment requirements. The quartz tube infrared heaters can be configured to meet commercially available voltages. The tube watt densities can be designed up to 50 watts/lineal inch (wli) for typical applications. In some instances the tube watt density is increased higher than 50 wli to allow for faster response time.

Tube length can be as long as 100", but shorter tube lengths are preferred. Longer tube lengths have a greater chance for breakage and a shorter life expectancy. Generally speaking, a tube length under 48" is preferred. The tubing can be either clear or satin. Clear tubes have a much higher transmittance of infrared energy as compared with satin tubes. Therefore, clear tubes are preferred for higher watt density applications. The main use of satin tubes is for lower watt density applications that desire a hidden heating element for aesthetic reasons. Quartz tubes are available in many diameters ranging from 3/8" - 1"
