Method of manufacturing a radiant electric heater

摘要

A radiant electric heater is manufactured by a method which involves providing a base (2) of microporous thermal and electrical insulation material having a substantially continuous surface, and providing a heating element (4) in the form of an elongate electrically conductive strip (5). The strip (5) is urged edgewise into the continuous surface of the base (2) of microporous thermal and electrical insulation material so as to embed and support the strip (5) edgewise in the insulation material along substantially the entire length of the strip to a depth corresponding to at least part of the height of the strip.
