Differences Between Heating Wire and Quartz Tube Heating

The difference between heating wire and quartz tube is quite simple: heating wire is just a heating wire, while quartz tube heating consists of a heating wire + quartz tube. Naturally, the price of quartz tube heaters is higher.

In terms of performance, the differences are as follows:

1. Prevents foreign objects from entering the heating wire: The quartz tube outer layer effectively prevents foreign objects from entering the heating wire. Statistics show that this design can extend the lifespan of the heating wire by 1.5 times. Additionally, the quartz tube provides extra physical protection, reducing the chances of wear and damage to the heating wire.
2. Improved heating efficiency: Heating wire mainly heats the air, with the heat then being transferred by air convection. On the other hand, quartz tube heaters work by heating the quartz tube with a heating wire, which subsequently emits infrared radiation. Infrared heating efficiency can be 30% to 50% higher than traditional convection heating, as it can transfer energy directly to the object being heated without relying on air as a medium. Studies indicate that under the same conditions, quartz tube heating can reach the desired temperature faster.
3. Significant energy savings: Since quartz tubes have higher heat efficiency, they are naturally more energy-saving compared to heating wires. For heaters, heat loss from quartz tube heating in windy environments can be reduced by about 20%, while heating wires see a significant decrease in heating effectiveness under similar conditions. This is because quartz tube heaters use infrared radiation to heat directly, unaffected by air flow.
