Infrared emitters are mainly distinguished by two variants which differ in the wavelength of the radiation and the response time.
I. Ceramic infrared emitters
- Wave length: long waves
- Response time: long
- Mechanical stability: more robust than quartz-type infrared radiator
II. Quartz-type infrared emitters
- Wave length: medium to long waves
- Response time: medium
- Mechanical stability: more sensitive than ceramic infrared radiators
Infrared radiators are available in different standardized dimensions:
I. . Ceramic infrared emitters, flat
- V3: 122 x 122 mm (150 750 W)
- V4: 122 x 60 mm (125 - 500 W)
- V9: 245 x 60 mm (150 - 1000 W)
II. Ceramic infrared emitters, curved
- V1: 245 x 60 mm (150 - 1000 W)
- V2: 122 x 60 mm (125 - 500 W)
- V5: 68 x 60 mm (75 - 200 W)
III. Quartz-type infrared emitters, flat
- Q5: 123 x 62 mm (150 - 375 W)
- Q10: 248 x 62 mm (300 - 750 W)
