4. Coverage for Spot Heating
Applications
The area heated by a Quartz Halogen Heater depends on the height and the angle at
which the heater is mounted.
For 30° Heater Mounting Angle:
Area Covered
= (Height)² x 2.66
Average Width of Beam
= Height x 2.0
Throw of Beam
= Height x 1.33
For 45° Heater Mounting Angle:
Area Covered
= (Height)² x 5.72
Average Width of Beam
= Height x 2.2
Throw of Beam
= Height x 2.6
*Note:
Area covered, width and throw of beam are
measured at floor level.
The table below indicated throw and spread
measured 1 metre above floor level which may
be a more appropriate measurement for some
applications.
The following tables show the recommended mounting heights for three typical average
intensity requirements:

Note
Intensity is average intensity in W/m² based on Wattage of heater and area covered
1.
and measured on a horizontal plane 1m above the floor level.
Heater mounting heights are in metres and are above floor level. Those marked ‘*’ are
2.
minimum mounting heights for the particular heater model.
Throw and spread figures are in metres.
