Quartz heater - what is it
Quartz heater - it is an electrical device designed to heat the room in which it is installed. This device belongs to the group of energy-saving equipment due to their technical characteristics, features high efficiency of use with low electric power consumption. The advantages of this equipment are:
- safety and ease of use;
- fire safety and environmental friendliness;
- ability to work in the infrared range;
- during operation no air dried and combusted oxygen;
- a variety of styles and designs can be used in rooms of various types.

The principle of operation of heaters monolithic type similar to a stone furnace operation, which leads to their ability to maintain the temperature in a heated room to set parameters for a long time.
Wall monolithic quartz heater (convective) type
From these figures it should be noted shortcomings heaters data:
- heating the room, which uses similar equipment is slow, due to the heat transfer method;
- the need for strong walling for wall placement method, particularly for monolithic-type models, due to their considerable weight.
IMPORTANT!(Click to see)
When used in large rooms heaters operate in a constant turn, so it should be taken into consideration when calculating the heating system and the planned expenditures for consumed electricity energy.
Heaters of this type heat transfer method is classified as convection and infra-red.
Wall-mounted infrared quartz heater type
Types of heaters of silica sand
Infrared and convection devices differ in structure, operating principle, and conditions of use and type of service, and therefore they should be considered separately to each from friend.
Quartz infrared heaters type
A distinctive feature of the infrared radiators is that they do not heat the air circulating around them. Infrared rays act on the objects in the zone of their distribution, which under these the influence of heat, and have them raised the temperature in the room where the such a device. Construction and main elements of the device IR are shown in the following figure.
Basic elements of the infrared heater
This illustration depicts the following construction elements:
- 1 - the heater;
- 2 - a quartz tube with built into it a heating element;
- 3 - a reflector;
- 4 - operation control elements of the device;
- 5 - protective mesh.
Work heaters this type is as follows:
- when voltage is applied to the terminals of heating element made of tungsten or another durable and wear-resistant material, its heating begins;
- under the influence of heat radiated from the tungsten coil starts emission of infrared rays from the surface of the quartz tube;
- for uniformity of their radiation in the heater reflector structure is provided which concentrates infrared rays in a certain direction;
- for controlling the modes of operation are provided in the instrument controls;
- for protection from falling into the internal space of foreign objects device its outer surface covered with a protective grid.
IR heater wall mounting
Such devices are available in different types of performance that determine the character of their setting:
- Padlocks - mounted on the wall or ceiling;
- installed on the floor or furniture items.
Models intended for mounting on a horizontal surface equipped with special feet or tripods providing their strong occupancy. Devices mounted on a wall or ceiling, have special holes or brackets, which means of fastening elements and their installation is performed. The advantages of this type of device, unlike other analogues are:
- compactness and light weight;
- maintainability.
Among the shortcomings should be noted brittleness quartz tube under external mechanical influences, and also the possibility of effects on objects and constructions only in the zone IR-rays.
Heater monolithic type
Quartz monolithic wall heaters
The monolithic quartz heaters working principle is based on convection (moving) the air in the confined space under the action of temperature difference at its upper and lower layers. Outwardly of this type devices appear as a monolithic slab of certain geometrical sizes, the manufacture of which quartz sand is used. In the interior of the plate a heating element is placed, which upon application of a voltage is heated and transfers its heat to the entire monolithic structure. In this type of heater as a heat exchanger serves the entire surface of a monolithic plate. monolithic type device design is shown in the following figure.
Main components type monolithic device
In devices of this type of heating is carried out in two ways: convection and infrared radiation, which increases the efficiency of their use. To improve energoeffktivnosti devices of this type when they are installed on the wall at the location of the reflective screen is mounted, which, with on the one hand, it serves as protection for building structures, and on the other - increases the heat transfer to the interior of the heated premises. The external panel, mounted on top of the quartz plate can be made in different styles, which allows the data devices in the interior of different rooms. Due to the fact that the cast plate has a considerable weight (about 10 kg), for its installation requires durable building structures (walls) and reliable fastening elements.
The presence of the insulating screen and durable fasteners ensure continuous operation of monolithic panels
When installed on the floor it is necessary to use special design to ensure rigid fixation of the device in a predetermined spatial arrangement. The advantages of this type of equipment, in contrast to the previously discussed are the following figures:
- strength and resistance to external mechanical influences;
- Heating is carried out in all directions from a monolithic plate.
Among the shortcomings should be noted a significant weight, so that these devices can not be installed on light walls and the installation on the main walls is necessary to use strong fasteners.
Which is better - a monolithic or infrared quartz heater
The unequivocal answer to this question is no, because in different environments, and different rooms type monolithic and infrared heaters in different ways exert their advantages and disadvantages.
What type of quartz heaters to select for a particular object, decides each user is individual
As has been described above, monolithic devices heat the entire volume of the heated space, and infrared are narrowly directed. In this connection, infrared radiation devices most in demand in the areas where heat insulation of building structures is insufficient or performed with low quality. Monolithic model operating successfully in areas with good thermal insulation and minimum heat loss.
NOTE!(Click to see)
Heating the room to be heated using quartz heaters is fairly slow, however, after reaching the desired parameters consumption decreases, and equipment support effectively predetermined temperature.
Exterior trim solid models can be completely different
Infrared models have smaller weight, so it is more mobile and can be used in a variety of placements. They are also more functional, because it can be installed not only as heating devices, but also as a technical means in the performance of any work (car drying after painting, heating of metal billets and etc.).
NOTE!(Click to see)
Monolithic models tend to go without a thermostat, so the choice of heaters of this type, this control must be purchased separately.

How to determine the capacity of the quartz radiators
In order to determine the capacity of the heater, you can take advantage of special programs for calculating this parameter or online calculators posted on the Internet. When using these products, it takes into account the area of heated space, the height and the degree of insulation of building structures. For the calculation of the ratio is taken as a basis for an electric power of 1 kW to 10 m2 heated area with ceiling height of 3 meters and a satisfactory thermal insulation of walls and elements overlap. By increasing the height of the room and heat-insulating performance deterioration value heated area decreases and, conversely, decreases can be increased.
