Abstract
A quartz heater is provided for heating fluids or objects. The heater comprises a member, for example, a quartz glass tubular or non-tubular member, with a low-emissivity conductive coating that produces heat when connected to external power. The fluid can be heated as it passes through the tubular member. If the member is not completely coated, then heat radiates toward the center of the member, pass through its uncoated portion, and then onto objects for heating.
