The heater consists of a helically wound resistance wire coil enclosed in a pure vitreous silica fused quartz tube with a translucent (semi-opaque) surface. The tubing is terminated at the ends with specially designed ceramic caps securely fastened with high temperature ceramic cement providing support for the field wiring screw terminals used for power connections. The diffusion effect of the opaque quartz tube surface broadens the emitted wavelength range without creating objectionable glare due to emissions in the visible spectrum. Optimum design provides a clear red color on the translucent tube surface when operating at full line voltage. The emitted wavelength band is almost completely absorbed by the process and considered best for most industrial radiant applications.
