What is Infrared Energy?
Infrared radiation and heating is a direct but non-contact process for heating objects. Energy is transmitted through electromagnetic radiation. With the use of this method, the object can absorb up to 91% of the radiated energy, which gets transformed into heat. Generally, full efficiency is achieved within one to three seconds. When compared to other methods of heat transfer, space requirements are considerably reduced. In using this method, applications are able to achieve faster line speeds, gain smaller footprint, lower energy consumption, precise temperature control, lower maintenance costs, and improved product quality. The engineers at Anderson Thermal will work with you to run tests in either your plant or at their facility.
Quartz Halogen Lamp
The Quartz Halogen Lamp is a shortwave infrared lamp manufactured and supplied by Anderson Thermal. Also known as "T3" and "T4" lamps, they utilize a low mass tungsten filament to provide a high temperature source that responds rapidly to voltage changes, thus allowing for precise control. The diameter of a T3 quartz halogen lamp is 3/8 inches; the diameter of a T4 quartz halogen lamp is inches. They are hermetically sealed and filled with an inert halogen gas.
Quartz Halogen Lamp Features
Every lamp is available with a white ceramic or gold reflector coating on the back to make them unidirectional, and the Ruby Red colored quartz lamps are available for filtering out most of the high intensity visible light. The quartz halogen lamp guarantees a fast heat-up response time, as well as Face Up, Face Down, or Vertical orientation options for multiple zones. The following are important statistics of the quartz halogen lamp:
Emitter Temperature 2200C [4000F]
Peak wavelength 1.15 Microns
Maximum Heated Length 58 inches for T3, 72 inches for T4
Watt Density 100 to 200 Watts per inch
Voltage 120 Volts to 600 Volts
Controls SCR with Pyrometer or Manual
Mounting Horizontal or Vertical
Zoning Can be easily wired in multiple zones
Heat Up and Cool Down Time 1 Second
What are the benefits of using quartz halogen lamps? Aside from the fact that they are suitable for many high speed applications and various types of line configurations, they are non-glare and unidirectional!
