Product Description
Infrared radiant heaters offer an economic, efficient, and clean heating solution for a variety of applications from area comfort, food warming to all types of industrial processes involving surface treatment, curing, drying and plastic forming. Radiant heating allows energy to be delivered to concentrated areas at a very fast rate with individual heaters or heater arrays. Radiant Emitters come in a variety of types and sizes such as formed and straight metal tubular, ceramic disk, quartz tube, radiant panels and lamps styles.

Infrared Radiant Panels
IR Radiant Panels are modular in design, easily mounted and lend themselves to building a variety of panel arrays for almost any radiant infrared application. Panels come in with multiple emitter face options from quartz, glass ceramic, composite, and coated metal emitter face surface materials. Panels can be specified to include multi-zone and distributed wattage, thermowells, thermocouples bracket, mounting studs, and terminal enclosures. Common voltages include 120, 240, 480 VAC, 1 or 3 phase, dual voltage and custom voltages may be specified.
Ceramic Emitters
Ceramic E-Mitters operate in the 2.5µm to 6µm range and are available in industry standard sizes. They are unaffected by vibration or adverse atmospheric conditions and under normal conditions have a continuous operating life in excess of 10,000 hours. Ceramic E-Mitters are manufactured in a casting process embedding the resistance wire in the ceramic material.
Tempco Gemini® Twin Bore IR Heaters
Gemini is an industry standard twin bore quartz tube format with 95% heat transmittance. High power densities are achievable: 42/51/63.5 w/in (16/20/25 w/cm), with fast heat-up rates — less than one minute to reach steady state conditions. These heaters have a very long operating life – over 10,000 hours of highly efficient and economical continuous operation – and come in three industry standard sizes in lengths up to 118 in. (3000mm).
Tempco Quartz Mini-Tube IR E-Mitters
KTE and KTG Quartz Mini-Tube Infrared Heaters operate in the 2.5µm to 6µm range and are available in industry standard sizes. They have a Rapid response time — 2.5 to 7.5 deg F / sec. heat-up / cool-down rates, depending on unit watt density and are suitable for horizontal or vertical operation with the tubes in the horizontal plane. Designed for use in CRA linear structural housings and ARV array assemblies.
Quartz Elements
Radiant Quartz heaters are a fast-responding efficient source of radiant energy. They are available with a variety of optional features to optimize the heater to the specific application demands. Quartz heaters come in clear and translucent tubing versions, standard wound, and multi-wound elements, with backing reflectors with a variety of termination options and array assemblies. The IR quartz heaters are suited for processes that require medium to long wave lengths. They offer excellent life when used in either rapid cycling or continuous radiant heating applications.
Tempco Sealed IR Quartz Lamps
Sealed IR Quartz Lamps have a fast filament response. High power densities are possible with these lamps – 100 watts per inch per filament standard, up to 200 w/in in special cases. Different filament temperatures are available to produce wavelengths to suit heating different materials.
Tubular Radiant Heaters
Tubular Radiant Heaters can be specified and used in applications requiring a single unit or as modules to create various configurations for process radiant heating systems. Tubular Radiant Heaters are available in standard products and a wide range of constructions, physical dimensions, electrical ratings and termination options.
