Radiant Tube

Radiant Tube
Details:
Radiant tubes are critical heat-transfer components used in industrial furnaces and heat treatment systems. They are designed to transfer heat indirectly to the furnace atmosphere and processed materials while isolating the combustion process from the heating chamber. Our radiant tubes are manufactured by centrifugal casting using high-temperature heat-resistant alloys. Typical materials include Cr-Ni heat-resistant steels and other customized alloy grades selected according to the operating temperature and furnace atmosphere. Compared with fabricated tubes, centrifugally cast radiant tubes offer superior high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, carburization resistance, and longer service life. Depending on the furnace design and operating conditions, radiant tubes can be supplied in straight, U-type, W-type, P-type, or customized configurations.

FAQ

 

 

Q: Are radiant tube heaters efficient?

A: Radiant tube heaters offer an efficient way to heat spaces, both in terms of energy consumption and the effectiveness of the heat they produce. Their ability to provide direct, uniform heating with reduced energy use makes them a compelling choice for those looking to optimise their heating solutions.

Q: Is a radiant heater cheap to run?

A: Radiant heaters can be relatively cheap to run. Their efficiency and targeted heating capabilities make them a cost-effective option for many users, though the exact running costs will depend on individual circumstances and the specific type of radiant heater used.

Q: Do radiant heaters really work?

A: Radiant heaters are effective, particularly in providing direct, localised heat with minimal energy waste. Their functionality in both indoor and outdoor settings, along with the immediate warmth they provide, makes them a practical heating solution for various scenarios.

Q: What does a radiant tube heater do?

A: A radiant tube heater offers a highly efficient solution for warming large areas. Its capacity to conserve energy enhances its appeal, making it a favoured option in diverse settings, including commercial, industrial and outdoor environments.

Q: How do radiant tubes work?

A: When power is supplied to the heater, heat is generated because of the joule's heating. This heat is transferred from the electric heater to the radiant tube by radiation. And then on, from the radiant tube to the material being heated. The material gets heated up by irradiation from the radiant tube.

Q: What is the difference between convection and radiant tubes?

A: Radiant heat warms objects and surfaces without heating the air in between. Those objects warm up directly and radiate back. Convection warms the air, which is a triple inefficiency.

Q: What is meant by radiant tubes?

A: The performance of a heating system depends not only on the furnace burner, but also on the radiant tubes. The aim of the radiant tubes is to transfer heat to the load through irradiation. Heat exchange occurs when the combustion fumes are generated by the burner and then are conveyed through the tube.

Q: How long does radiant heat tubing last?

A: This plastic tubing can last between 30-50 years. However, since water must be heated and travel through the system, a boiler and a pump are also required. You can expect a boiler to last 15-20 years, but a pump may fail after ten years.

Q: How deep should radiant tubing be?

A: The highest output for the simulations I ran occurs when the tube is centered about 3/4-inch below to slab surface (about 25.1 Btu/h/ft2 at 100º water temperature). Lowering the tube so that its center is 2 inches below the slab surface (e.g., tubing centered on 4-inch slab thickness) reduces output to 23.8 Btu/h/ft2.

Q: What is the function of the radiant tube?

A: A ceramic or metal tube which separates the gas burner (or electric element) from the furnace atmosphere. A method of heating a furnace without contaminating the gas atmosphere with the products of combustion from the heating gas.

Q: What is the composition of radiant tube?

A: The tubes are typically constructed from materials such as stainless steel or ceramic, ensuring resistance to corrosion as well as high-temperature environments.

Q: How thick is radiant tubing?

A: The most common sizes are 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4". Generally, for a residential Infloor Heating System® we recommend 3/8" and 1/2" tubing. The tube size dictates the flow rate that can be achieved and also indicates the maximum loop length based on the head pressure.

Q: How deep should radiant tubing be in concrete?

A: I've read that radiant tubing should be placed nearer to the surface and 1″ to 2″ is recommended.

Q: Should radiant tubing go above or below rebar?

A: Unless special design considerations require otherwise, the tubing should always be positioned on top of the reinforcement, in order to stay closer to the surface of the slab. If using welded wire mesh, you may want opt for sheets rather than rolls whenever possible.

Q: How do radiant tubes work?

A: When power is supplied to the heater, heat is generated because of the joule's heating. This heat is transferred from the electric heater to the radiant tube by radiation. And then on, from the radiant tube to the material being heated. The material gets heated up by irradiation from the radiant tube.
