Medium Wave Quartz Infrared Heaters are excellent for surface heating and for drying coatings paint, dyes, lacquers, adhesives and in the processing of plastic sheet and films. They are available in Clear or Opaque Quartz Tube with gold or ceramic reflective coatings that focus the emitted energy onto the substrate. The filament temperature of a medium wave emitter is from 850°F and 2150°F (454°C - 1177°C). The majority of energy generated by the medium wave lamps is in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum between 2-4 microns.
Medium wave emissions do not penetrate as deep into substrates as shortwave. The emissions are readily absorbed by water films, plastics and many solvents. Medium Wave Quartz Infrared Heaters are slower in response to changes in process requirement as compared to the short-wavelength lamps and are slower to heat up and cool down. Because of their long life, medium wave quartz infrared heaters perform extremely well in continuous processes. Medium wave infrared heaters are sold as individual heat sources or wired together in multiple emitter cassettes also known as IR Modules. The Standard End Connection in the Medium Wave Quartz Infrared Heater is the Screw Connection with Ceramic Cap to Protect the Terminals.
Features
- Quartz medium wave heaters emit heat almost instantly upon activation, providing rapid and efficient heating.
- These heaters can reach high temperatures quickly, allowing for intense and focused heating in specific areas.
- Quartz heaters are designed to convert a significant portion of electrical energy into heat energy, making them highly efficient and cost-effective.
- The design of quartz medium wave heaters ensures even heat distribution across the heated surface, preventing hot spots and ensuring consistent warmth.
