About Radiant Heater Elements

Radiant heater elements are replacement heater elements for radiant flat panel heaters and radiant reflective heaters. Radiant heaters are used to heat objects via radiant, usually infrared (IR), heat transfer. They are used in applications such as space heating, drying and curing, water evaporation, food processing, sterilization, material preparation, bonding and joining, and industrial manufacturing and production. Radiant reflective heaters are similar to radiant flat panel heaters, but include reflectors that require periodic maintenance. Both radiant flat panel heaters and radiant reflective heaters are ruggedly built and resistant to various levels of shock and vibration. Many radiant heaters are so precise that heat can be directed to exact locations. 


Products & Services Related to Radiant Heater Elements

Band Heaters
Band heaters are ring-shaped heaters that clamp onto a cylindrical object and heat via conductive heat transfer.
Cartridge Heaters
Cartridge heaters are cylindrical devices generally inserted into a heated substance.
Circulation Heaters
Circulation heaters are used to heat moving or circulating fluids.
Cylindrical Ceramic Fiber Heaters
Cylindrical ceramic fiber heaters consist of an iron-chrome-aluminum (ICA) heating element and a thick layer of ceramic fiber insulation within a cylinder-shaped housing.
Drum Heaters
Drum heaters are used to heat containers of viscous materials. They can be wrapped around or placed inside containers that hold substances such as wax or grease.
Duct Heaters
Duct heaters are used to heat moving gas streams.
Explosion Proof Heaters
Explosion proof heaters are constructed with housings that can withstand explosions, protecting the materials being heated.  This classification may also include housings, which can withstand sparking and flames.
