Frequently Asked Questions
What is infrared heat?
In scientific terms, infrared heat is a form of electromagnetic radiation that transfers thermal energy directly to objects, surfaces, and materials rather than heating the surrounding air. This method of heat transfer, known as radiant heating, delivers fast, efficient, and targeted heat.
Infrared radiation lies on the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and microwaves. For industrial heating applications, infrared wavelengths typically range from 0.78 to 1,000 μm. Different wavelength ranges are selected based on the material being heated, the required heating speed, and the specific process or application.
What are the infrared wavelength standards?
Infrared radiation is typically divided into three wavelength ranges. The exact boundaries and naming can vary depending on the source, but at Ceramicx the following standard is used:
• Short-wave infrared (SWIR): 0.78–1.40 μm, also known as near infrared (NIR) or IR-A
• Medium-wave infrared (MWIR): 1.4–3.0 μm, also known as mid infrared (MIR) or IR-B
• Long-wave infrared (LWIR): 3–1000 μm, also known as far infrared (FIR) or IR-C
This classification helps distinguish different parts of the infrared spectrum based on wavelength.
What’s the standard supply voltage for ceramic and quartz emitters?
The standard supply voltage for ceramic and quartz infrared emitters is 230V. Other voltage ratings are available on request. We can design the heating element to operate at different power outputs and with different voltage ratings at additional cost and are subject to minimum order quantities.
