Radiation and thermal efficiency of radiation-type heaters on heated objects (Teitokusha Column)
Basic knowledge about the thermal efficiency of radiation and radiation-type heaters on heated objects.
Since its founding over 130 years ago, the company has spent about 100 years as a refractory manufacturer and has ventured into the electric heater industry in the last 30 years. We have been committed to responding to the wishes and requests of customers in various industries and focusing on the development of new products based on new technology. That is why we provide useful knowledge about heaters. <Radiation> Heat transmitted by electromagnetic waves. No material is needed to conduct heat. The energy intensity increases in proportion to the fourth power of absolute temperature. The effectiveness of radiators (mainly heating elements) is significant at temperatures above 800°C. <Heat efficiency of radiation-type heaters to heated objects> ■ The wavelength of radiant heat is determined by the temperature of the heating element. Example: 1000°C (1273K) peak wavelength 2.3μm. Black body (perfect) > absorbs all incident energy. White body (perfect) > reflects all incident energy. Transparent body (perfect) > transmits all incident energy. ■ The absorption, reflection, and transmission characteristics are determined by the material (strong wavelength dependence). General materials > Absorption rate: varies with surface condition (mirror finish, surface roughness, oxidation level) / Transmission rate: usually considered to be zero. Materials like glass > Absorption rate: varies significantly with wavelength / Transmission rate: mostly transmits. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.

Company information
Since its founding in 1891, we have progressed as a manufacturer specializing in refractory materials and continue to produce refractory bricks and insulators for electric furnaces. Our main products today are industrial electric heaters, and we excel in the design and manufacturing of heaters for electric furnaces that operate in harsh environments with extreme temperature fluctuations, creating them to order. Using metal heating elements, we provide electric furnace heaters that can withstand temperatures up to 1200°C, which are used in furnaces for processes such as carburizing and quenching of iron, as well as bending glass. Additionally, as a new product, we have successfully developed and commercialized a hot air generation device by combining metal heating element processing technology with ceramic insulator manufacturing technology. Our motto is to thoroughly address our customers' concerns and challenges and to stay with them until solutions are found. Based on the technology and know-how cultivated over more than 125 years of history and achievements, we are ready to assist with any inquiries related to heat.
