PLUG WAVEGUIDE QUARTZ

A plug is an item that (1) provides a fitted closure for an opening designed to ensure a tight seal such as for a sink or a bottle, or for a hole or a space (2) completes an electrical connection. The plug may be removable (as for portable equipment), require a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent electrical joint between two points.

Quartz heating is a type of radiant heating used throughout the foodservice industry in equipment of all kinds. Radiant heating uses infrared waves to directly heat the surfaces of foods in holding cabinets, heated merchandisers. All objects emit and absorb infrared heat, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum with a frequency below visible light. Hotter objects will radiate more of this heat. This is the basis of the technology for most quartz heaters. In restaurant equipment, quartz heaters are tubular and may be controlled by a timer.

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves (for example, microwaves in a microwave oven or electromagnetic waves or sound waves)  with minimal loss of energy by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction. Without the physical constraint of a waveguide, wave amplitudes decrease according to the inverse square law as they expand into three dimensional space.
