Help with Radiant Heaters specifications:
Heater Type
Back to Top
|
| ||
| Heater Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Radiant Flat Panel Heater | Radiant flat panel heaters are used to heat objects via radiant heat transfer. | ||
| Radiant Reflective Process Heater | Radiant heaters use a reflective shield to direct radiant heat onto a heated surface. | ||
| Radiant Floor Heater | Radiant floor heaters are a type of room or space heater where the heating elements are in direct contact with flooring and rely on infrared radiation to transfer heat to solid objects. The heating elements consist of either electrical elements or thermal fluids housed in ether mesh, mats, tubing, or heating cables. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary heaters. | ||

Power Requirements and Output
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Maximum Operating (Sheath) Temperature | Maximum operating (sheath) temperature is the highest temperature that the heater's sheath (or protective cover) may reach. This is not the maximum temperature a heated substance may reach. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| |||
| AC Voltage Required | Heaters require AC voltage. Most heaters use AC voltage instead of DC voltage. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Watts | Heating capacity is the wattage which the heater can deliver. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Watt Density | The maximum watt density that the heater can deliver. Watt density is a good measure of how quickly the heater can transfer heat to a heated surface. To calculate watt density, suppliers divide the available wattage by the heated surface area. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

|
| ||
| Radiant Flat Panel Emitter Surface | The heater emitter surface is specially designed to facilitate radiant heat transfer. Specific applications may require properties of specific emitter surfaces. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Quartz Cloth Surface | The surface material is quartz cloth. | ||
| Glass Surface | The surface material is glass, typically high-temperature black glass. | ||
| Stainless Steel Surface | The surface material is stainless steel. | ||
| Ceramic Infrared | The surface material is resistance wire embedded in a ceramic body. | ||

| Radiant Reflective Element | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Quartz Element | The heating element is made of quartz. | ||
| Sheathed Tubular Element | The heating element is a sheathed tube. | ||
| Straight | The heating element is straight. | ||
| Hairpin or "U" Shape | The heating element is formed into a hairpin or "U" shape. | ||
| Custom Shape / Bend | The heating element has a custom shape or bend. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Number of Elements | The number of heating elements in the heater. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||

Fuel / Energy Source
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Electric | Electricity is the primary power source. | ||
| Diesel / Fuel Oil / Gasoline / Kerosene | The primary power source burns or generates power from fuel oil, diesel, gasoline, or kerosene. | ||
| Hot Water / Steam | Circulating steam or hot water is the primary heat source. | ||
| Natural Gas / Propane | Natural gas or propane is the primary power source. | ||
| Solar | The primary power source captures and uses solar heat. | ||
| Waste Oil | Waste oils are salvaged from internal combustion engines, hydraulics, lubricants, cooking processes, and other applications. | ||
| Wood / Pellet | The primary power source burns wood, wood pellets, or other combustible solid products. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary fuel or energy sources. | ||

Applications

|
|
| ||
| Applications | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Annealing / Heat Treating | Process annealing is used to treat work-hardened parts made from low-carbon steels (< 0.25% carbon). Annealing can be used to stress-relieve or fully soften a part. A full anneal allows the parts to be soft enough to undergo further cold working without fracturing. | ||
| Curing / Tempering | Heaters are designed for curing or tempering applications. They can heat adhesive bonds to curing or setting specifications. | ||
| Drying | Heaters are used to dry products or materials with in-process or batch operation. | ||
| Melting | Heaters are used to transform materials from a solid to a liquid state for further processing (e.g., casting). | ||
| OEM / Custom | Heaters are designed as OEM modules and are designed to be embedded or installed in another piece of equipment. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary applications. | ||
