Living in a 1920's house has it's drawbacks. One of them being icy breezes when its below zero outside. I have modern central heat but why heat up the whole town? I did already have a sappy 1500w convection heater but all it did was warm one side of my ankle while drying out my eyes with it's noisy fan. So I shopped around for an infared heater. I choose this one because it a) oscillates, b) is silent, c) is 2 feet tall. I needed something that would go under my computer desk and keep my whole side warm, not just my ankles. I admit this does the job nicely. Crank it to 800w to heat up the surroundings (about a half hour) then turn it down to 400w for the rest of the night. I had it a few nights now with temps outside dipping into the low 30's.Pros:- It's like an electric fireplace. Toasty!- It's cheap to buy and run.- It is totally silent.- It is tall, and with the oscillation going it will heat you from head to toe without burning you...

We have had Halogen heaters before and like the heat they put out. This one does a nice job, burt we have recently noticed that if it stays on for long periods of time there must be a overheat switch on it, because it will cut itself off. We wait a little bit of time, unplug it, then plug it back in, and it goes again just like normal. Overall we like it.

I bought this heater because it is energy efficient with two heating levels of 400 watts and 800 watts--significantly lower than most space heaters. I bought it to replace an older 1500 watt space heater that I used in my sunroom in December which significantly raised my monthly electric bill and I mean 4 times higher (I have gas heat). I am hoping my January electric bill will return to a much lower level with the use of this comfort zone flat panel halogen heater. I will need to wait until the bill arrives to see if this will be the case. There is no blower on this heater altho it does radiate heat to the immediate area. It does not heat up the entire room and this room is the size of a small bedroom but it does heat the space around me enough to use the sunroom for eating breakfast, lunch or reading. The unit shuts off if it is moved even slightly--a good safety feature. It does have two very bright heating elements which my pets do not like and therefore they keep their...

How to select the right timing device—Part II

May 22, 2012 | Although quartz has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, variation due to temperature change is still a large component in the frequency stability of quartz oscillators. Overall frequency stability of fixed-frequency quartz oscillators is ±20 to ±50 ppm without temperature compensation (See Figure 1). Resonators expand and contract due to changes in temperature, affecting their resonating frequency and making temperature compensation critical to oscillator performance for demanding applications. Table 1 compares the performance of silicon MEMS and quartz oscillators, considering many of the parameters discussed in Part 1. Comparison of silicon MEMS and quartz oscillators. In Part II, we go into more detail on several important concerns for high performance oscillators: temperature response, frequency control and addressing EMI reduction. Part 1 of this article described basic requirements for timing devices and listed classes of oscillators for different applications. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. Read more »

Questions & Answers

Quartz Heater?

May 13, 2008 by

Some types of electric heaters like "Quartz Heaters" are more efficient than old-fashioned electric heaters.

a) True
b) False
The answer is: b. Due to advertising, a lot of people think quartz heaters are more efficient, but it is not so. If you pay the electric power company for a kilowatt-hour of energy (and your meter is working right) you get a kilowatt-hour of energy, and if you feed the energy to a heater it turns it all to heat. If some of the energy were somehow wasted, ask yourself where it could go. A motor wastes energy as heat, but a heater can't make anything but heat.

Now a fan might spread the heat over a room more evenly or a reflector might focus the heat, but they have been on electric heaters for decades. So why are quartz heaters such a fad? The power of advertising.

I agree with BB's answer (B); efficiency, measured by total heat output, would be the same for both heaters. However, it's possible for a quartz heater to be less effective if any of its radiant power is directed toward a window where it could escape. My own experience is that radiant heat from a 1 or 2 kw heater isn't worth much unless you're pretty near it; a blown standard heater seems more useful in warming up a room. Heating the walls with radiant energy increases the heat loss rate compared to warmer air and colder walls.

How much power does a quartz heater use?

Dec 02, 2008 by Glyn

We've just got ourselves a little 2 x bar quartz heater but we're not sure how much power it will use for, say, 1 hour. Are they cheap to run? The back of the heater says '240v ~ 50Hz 800w'

Anybody be able to give us an idea?
Thanks =D
