Outdoor Heater Basics – How Does a Glass Tube Heater Work?

Before we discuss the glass tube that is made to house an outdoor heater, you should know what heating materials they use. Mostly they use glass tubes that are coated with a heating compound. This then becomes the source of heat for the tubing.

Heating a glass tube can be done a number of ways. A number of methods have been used for heating a heating tube. One method used to heat the tube is called the quartz tube furnace. This involves the use of a quartz tube and air to create heat in the tube.

In a quartz tube furnace, the tube is heated using quartz tube, air, and a spark plug. The tube is heated using the quartz tube coil. The glass tubes will be placed inside the furnace. The coil will heat the quartz tube while the air flows through the tube to create heat in the glass tube.

When heating a tube inside the quartz tube furnace, air cannot reach the hot spots because of the tube. Therefore, these hot spots must be removed before the tube is heated.

Because of this, you will see a fan installed to help remove the hot spots from the outdoor heater. A filter on the outside of the outdoor heater is to keep out the pollutants that could harm the indoor heater. So, in effect, the air flowing inside the outdoor heater will not be affected by the pollutants. The filtration system is a very good way to improve the quality of the air inside your house.

Heat can also be created from the surface of the glass tube. The surface is heated through a heating plate. The heating plate is placed on the tube before the tube is connected to the heating unit. The heat generated will be distributed evenly throughout the house because the heater uses different heat sources.

In addition to the glass tube heating, a different method that is used to heat the outdoor heater is called radiant heating. A heat source that is controlled by a thermostat is used to create heat. These systems require a power source so the thermostat is used to control the power output.

Heating a tube inside a furnace is a relatively easy process. You can do this at home. The thermostat controls the temperature and it is necessary for the tube to have a completely clean interior before it is placed inside the furnace.
