Energy Spread and Heater Selection
Tables and figures provide guidance on energy spread and heater selection for efficient infrared coverage. Quartz lamp heaters are noted as the most efficient, but care should be taken to avoid vibration and mechanical shock.

JAD Series Heaters
These heaters are available in various types, each suited for specific applications such as drying, curing, and high-intensity heat applications. They feature different construction types like single or double tubular elements and quartz tubes.

JAK and JAV Series Heaters
These series are designed for high-density heat applications and indoor spot heating, respectively. They feature Incoloy® tubular elements and quartz tubes, with options for general purpose or moisture-resistant housings.

JAB Series Heaters
Suitable for larger indoor applications requiring high heat concentration, such as arenas and industrial buildings. They offer good temperature control and are available with various element types.

Specifications
The heaters are categorized by type, each with specific power ratings (KW), standard voltages, overall and heated lengths, catalog numbers, and shipping weights. Detailed tables for Type 1, Type 3, Type 4, and Type 6 heaters highlight their unique features and applications.

Ordering Information
When placing an order, customers must specify the quantity, catalog number, voltage, and wattage of the desired heaters.

Applications and Features
