A radiant electric heater having an electric heating element (1) in the form of an elongate electrically conductive strip supported on edge and partially embedded in a layer of microporous thermal and electrical insulation material (11; 11A, 11B) in a support dish (10) is manufactured by placing an elongate electrically conductive strip on edge in a groove (8) in a press tool (6), such that a portion of the strip protrudes from the groove, the groove being formed of a pattern corresponding to that required for a heating element (1) in the heater. A predetermined quantity of powdery microporous thermal and electrical insulation material is arranged between the press tool (6) and a support dish (10) of the heater, and the insulation material is compressed into the support dish with the press tool, the material being compacted to form a layer (11; 11A, 11B) of a desired density and simultaneously compacted against the portion of the strip protruding from the groove, to secure the strip on edge in partial embedment in the layer of the insulation material. <IMAGE> |
