Difference Between Quartz vs. Carbon Fiber Heating Tubes

Quartz heating tubes heat up through the resistance of tungsten filaments. Carbon fiber heating tubes, being pure blackbody materials, have minimal visible light emission during the electrothermal conversion process, with an efficiency over 95%, saving 30% energy compared to heaters using nickel-chromium, tungsten-molybdenum, and other materials as heating elements.

The lifespan of quartz heating tubes is generally 2000-3000 hours. Carbon fiber heating tubes have a lifespan of 500

Quartz heating tubes undergo simple sealing treatments, whereas carbon fiber heating tubes require vacuum extraction processing. In destructive testing, both quartz and carbon fiber heating tubes were powered for half an hour and then submerged in water for a destructive test. The result was that quartz heating tubes cracked, while carbon fiber heating tubes remained intact and continued to operate.

The metallic tungsten in quartz heating tubes is a non-renewable resource, whereas carbon fiber strands are renewable and environmentally friendly materials. Discarded carbon fiber strands do not pollute the environment.

The temperature and power of carbon fiber heating tubes are adjustable, meeting various industrial requirements.
