INFRARED INDUSTRIAL QUARTZ HEATERS : SHORTWAVE TWIN TUBE

Fast and Intensive

shortwave twintube heater Shortwave IR heaters from Heraeus are suitable for all applications in which the attainment of high temperatures in the shortest possible time is what counts. Their emission maximum is between 0.9 and 1.6 micron.


Heater Performance Advantages

  • High radiation density in the most compact space up to 150 kW/m 2 (100W/in 2 ) output, low space requirements
  • Practically no heating-up and cooling down times
  • Good depth of radiation penetration into the material
  • Optimized reflection thanks to backmounted gold reflector: enhancing output and saving energy
  • Heated lengths from 1 inch up to 120 inches
  • Infinitely adjustable fast-reaction control
  • Stock, custom and OEM sizes
  • Linear power up to 400 Watts per inch
  • Twin tube heaters, tube format 23 x 11 mm
  • Filament temperature 1800 – 2200 °C
  • Peak wavelengths 0.9 – 1.6 µm
  • Standard heaters are designed for horizontal operation. The heaters are modified for vertical operation.
  • Heaters are available in different designs and can be one-side or two-side connected.
  • A gold coating of the heater ensures that the effective radiation is virtually doubled.
Infrared heating technology

transfers large amounts of energy in a short time. Heaters are available for large surfaces, for three dimensional shapes and for small work pieces. By matching infrared heaters to individual applications, heating and drying processes can be integrated seamlessly into processing operations. In addition, infrared technology can be fitted with little expenditure into existing manufacturing lines.

Infrared heaters allow optimum matching

There are infrared heaters with various spectra. Short wave infrared radiation penetrates more deeply into materials, medium wave radiation is absorbed more strongly at the surface and into thin films. The wavelength at which infrared is emitted significantly influences the efficiency of the heating process. Perfectly matched infrared heaters can allow energy savings of up to 50 %.

Short wave infrared heaters

types of infrared heatersShort wave infrared radiation has a particularly high heating power. The radiation penetrates into the object to be heated and provides for very effective heating in the material. Short wave heaters are particularly suited for processes which need to be stopped and started very quickly, as they achieve their full operating efficiency within seconds. Infrared heaters are produced in proven and especially stable twin tube format. Twin tube heaters distinguish themselves with high radiation density and high power intensity. A gold reflector, applied directly to the heater, directs the infrared radiation onto the object to be heated. The efficiency compared with standard secondary reflectors is significantly improved. Short wave infrared heaters are manufactured with heated lengths between 1 inch and 120 inches. Various designs guarantee a flexible matching of the heater with the manufacturing process.
