Metal mesh is an alternative method for protecting infrared modules. Its primary advantage is mechanical protection of the infrared haters. Wire screen features high open areas for maximum thermal efficiency. Typically it is constructed from welded or woven stainless steel wire with 1.5 - 2.5mm diameter.
Temperature of the wire depends on the infrared energy and airflow, and does not vary significantly among different infrared lamp types. After heat-up, temperature remains fairly stable. Metal mesh is acceptable for many different processes, but the ceramic glass window is a better solution for processes involving thin films and foils.
