How many types of external combustion heaters and what are the differences between them?

There are several types of infrared combustion gas heaters, each with its own distinct features and benefits. The primary types are ceramic infrared heaters, tube heaters, and radiant tube heaters.

Ceramic infrared heaters are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings where quick and efficient heating is required. They consist of a heating element made from a ceramic material that emits infrared radiation when heated. They are compact, easy to install, and can be controlled electronically for precise temperature control.

Tube gas heaters are commonly used in outdoor heating applications such as patios, garages, and workshops. They consist of a long tube filled with a combustible gas that burns to create heat. The tube is glazed with a ceramic coating that reflects the heat back into the area being heated. Tube heaters are available in both natural gas and propane models and are known for their durability and ease of maintenance.

Radiant tube gas heaters are similar to tube heaters, but they emit heat via a series of radiant tubes rather than a single tube. They are commonly used in large industrial and commercial settings where even, consistent heat is required. Radiant tube heaters are highly efficient and cost-effective and can be controlled via a centralized heating system.

While they all rely on infrared radiation to generate heat, each type of infrared combustion heater has unique features and benefits that make them ideal for different applications. Ceramic infrared heaters are ideal for industrial settings, while tube heaters are preferred for outdoor heating applications. Radiant tube gas heaters are best suited for large commercial and industrial spaces. It's important to carefully consider your heating needs before selecting the right type of infrared combustion heater for your specific application.

RONDATEX Fecralloy metal fiber is an ideal material for infrared gas heaters due to its unique properties.
