. The infrared energy it emits, is directly absorbed by the object it strikes regardless of surrounding air temperature even able to pass through a vacuum. The biggest source of infrared heating is Sun, we feel warm under the sun because the light it emits is absorbed by our skin and clothes. Quartz heater is a popular type of infrared heater in which the heating element is surrounded by quartz tube . The infrared energy it emits, is directly absorbed by the object it strikes regardless of surrounding air temperature even able to pass through a vacuum. The biggest source of infrared heating is Sun, we feel warm under the sun because the light it emits is absorbed by our skin and clothes.

What is Infrared Heat

Infrared radiation is released by all objects and flows straight through the atmosphere. The radiation is absorbed by solid objects at some wavelength and creates warmness in the it. Infrared heating is transferring of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. The measure of efficiency is based upon energy emitted and energy absorbed.

How does Quartz Heaters Work

In infrared heaters, the heating element which is enclosed in quartz cylinder. The purpose of this quartz cylinder is to stop the convection heat from leaving the element and let the infrared light pass through it. The infrared light hits the object in its path and heat them directly, rather than heating the air in between them.
