The electric heater includes an electric heating body, which is used to convert electrical energy into thermal energy; a quartz tube, in which the electric heating body is arranged; a heat-conducting metal, which is used to fix the quartz tube to the surface of the object to be heated, and the inner surface of the heat-conducting metal is in close contact with the quartz tube and the surface of the object to be heated at the same time; the heat-conducting metal is composed of a plurality of metal profiles. The metal profile is coupled, and the cross-section is an "Ω" shape. Each metal profile includes a "convex" end and a "concave" end.
