Abstract

A heater includes a base body, a conductive module, and an infrared electrothermal coating. The conductive module includes a first electrode and a second electrode spaced on the base body. The first electrode includes a first bar electrode axially extending from a first end to a second end, the second electrode includes a second bar electrode axially extending from the first end to the second end, and at least a part of the infrared electrothermal coating is located between the first bar electrode and the second bar electrode. An equivalent resistance of a part of the infrared electrothermal coating adjacent to the first end is less than an equivalent resistance of a middle part of the infrared electrothermal coating. An equivalent resistance of a part of the infrared electrothermal coating adjacent to the second end is less than the equivalent resistance of the middle part of the infrared electrothermal coating.
