Infrared short-wave radiators can provide high-temperature thermal energy, which is more suitable for the needs of rapid point-to-point thermal response.
Short wave quartz infrared heaters are made out of quartz glass encasing a tightly wound tungsten filament and various types of halogen gas.
The quartz glass enclosure permits the passage of IR energy while shielding the filament from corrosion and convection cooling.
Halogen cycles maintain steady infrared efficiency throughout use while preventing the blackening of the quartz glass. A short wave infrared heater has a rated life of around 5000 hours.

- Max unit power : 200w / cm
- Heating length : Max 5000mm
Short-wave Infrared emitters function at high temperatures of 1,300 – 2,600 C and emit infrared waves with a wavelength of around 0.75 – 1.4 microns. These wavelengths tend to be more transmissive and reflecting since they have higher frequencies.
With infrared technology, a transmission medium is not required, in contrast to all other heating methods. In some heating techniques, for instance, the air is heated first before the substance is heated. These procedures become ineffective and unfriendly to the environment since this does not occur losslessly. However, the environment is entirely unaffected by short-wave infrared radiation, and only the body gets heated. The efficiency of shortwave infrared emitters is unmatched due to this physical characteristic.
