Far infrared quartz heater effect

Far-infrared quartz heaters utilize specially processed opalescent quartz glass tubes with a resistive composite material as the heating element. This is because opalescent quartz glass absorbs nearly all visible and near-infrared radiation from the heating filament and converts it into far-infrared radiation. They are also called halogen heaters. A tungsten filament is placed within a quartz shell. Through filament design and shell construction, the filament's emission spectrum is adjusted to between 2400 and 2700 nm. Far-infrared quartz heaters are available for both civilian and industrial applications. Civilian applications primarily include heaters and lightwave ovens. Industrial applications primarily include curing in the semiconductor industry and blowing in the plastics industry.

Quartz is one of the most widely distributed minerals on Earth, and its uses are quite diverse. As early as the Stone Age, people used it to make simple tools such as stone axes and arrows to obtain food and defend against enemies. Piezoelectric quartz plates are used as frequency standards in quartz clocks and electronic devices. The glass produced after melting can be used to manufacture optical instruments, glasses, glass tubes, and other products. It can also be used as bearings for precision instruments, abrasive materials, glass ceramics, and other industrial raw materials. With the development of semiconductor technology, quartz glass has been widely used in various semiconductor production processes. For example, it is used in the Czochralski method to convert polycrystalline silicon into single crystal silicon; in quartz cleaning tanks for cleaning; in loosening tubes and grooved boats for loosening; and in bell jars for ion implantation.
