Characteristics Of Infrared Heaters

The heat transfer form of infrared is radiation heat transfer, which transfers energy by electromagnetic waves. Infrared radiation refers to the emission and transmission (propagation) of electromagnetic waves with a spectrum between 0.7um-80um. The emission and transmission are accompanied by obvious and directional energy transmission. The transmission of energy does not require an exchange medium and can be transmitted even in a vacuum. Infrared can be divided into short wave, medium wave and long wave according to the wavelength.

Characteristics

Infrared drying and heating methods have been accepted and applied to various fields at an astonishing rate in recent years.

The main advantages of infrared heating methods are as follows:

1. It has penetrating power and can heat both inside and outside at the same time.

2. It does not require heat transfer medium and has good thermal efficiency.

3. It can heat locally and save energy.

4. It provides a comfortable working environment.

5. It saves the construction cost and space of the furnace body, and is simple and easy to assemble, install and maintain.

6. Clean heating process, no hot air is required, and there is no secondary pollution.

7. The temperature is easy to control, the temperature rises quickly, and it is relatively safe.

8. Small thermal inertia, no need for warm-up, saving manpower.
