7. Generation of far-infrared rays

The method of heating the ceramic to make a far-infrared artificially is common.
The fine ceramics of an alumina system or a zirconium system are used well.
Wavelength and the emittance change by a kind and the heating temperature of ceramics.
The following of the table showing the radiation wavelength of a material is carried out.

Radiating matter Application product Wavelength Zone
Tungsten Halogen lamp heater 1.0-2.5μm Near-infrared
Nichrome Electric heater 2.0-5.0μm Mid-infrared
Silicon carbide Glover 1.0-50μm All zone Infrared
Ceramics Panel heater 1.0-50μm All zone Infrared
Stainless Sheathed heater 4.0-10μm Far-infrared
Carbon Arc lamp, Carbon heater 2.0-25μm Mid &Far Infrared
Cesium Xenon lamp 0.8-2.5μm Near-infrared
