How to extend the life of medium-wave infrared heating lamps?Optimize the ambient temperatureTemperature control: Try to keep the ambient temperature of the industrial infrared heat lamp within a suitable range. The ambient temperature can be adjusted by installing air conditioners or ventilation equipment. For example, in an industrial workshop, if the temperature is too high, a large industrial air conditioner or a powerful ventilation fan can be installed to control the temperature within the optimal operating temperature range of the heating lamp, generally around 50-70\\u2103.Insulation measures: Take insulation measures for areas around the Halogen heating lamps that do not need to be heated to prevent heat conduction from causing the ambient temperature to rise. Insulation materials, such as ceramic fiber insulation boards, can be used to isolate the heating lamp from surrounding equipment or the environment to reduce the impact of ambient temperature on the halogen heating bulb.Ensure voltage stabilityInstall a voltage stabilizer: Installing a voltage stabilizer in the circuit is an effective way to maintain voltage stability. The voltage stabilizer can automatically adjust the input voltage so that it outputs a stable voltage to the heating lamp. Select a suitable voltage stabilizer according to the power and rated voltage of the replacement infrared halogen lamp. For example, for a tungsten halogen lamp with a power of 1-2kW and a rated voltage of 220V, an AC voltage stabilizer with an accuracy within \\u00b15% and a capacity of 2-3kVA can be selected.Monitor voltage fluctuations: Use a voltmeter or voltage monitoring device to check the voltage regularly. If the voltage fluctuation is large, take timely measures, such as checking whether the power supply line is faulty or overloaded. At the same time, try to avoid using the heating lamp during periods of unstable power supply.Reasonably control the frequency and duration of useMake a usage plan: Make a reasonable usage plan based on actual heating needs. Avoid unnecessary long-term continuous use and frequent startup. For example, in some non-continuous production industrial scenarios, if only intermittent heating of the product is required, the heating time can be arranged at the key stage of product processing instead of keeping the halogen bulb in working state all the time.Optimize the production process: Reduce the number of startups of the quartz infrared heating lamp when the production process allows. For example, by reasonably arranging product batches, the heating lamp can continuously heat multiple products after one startup, instead of frequently starting and heating a single product.Improve heat dissipation conditionsAdd ventilation equipment: Install ventilation equipment around the heating lamp, such as a small fan or ventilation duct. The fan can accelerate the air flow and take away the heat emitted by the lamp body. The ventilation duct can guide the hot air to the outdoors or other well-ventilated areas. For example, in food drying equipment, an axial flow fan is installed near the infrared heating lamp to allow air to flow through the heating lamp at a certain flow rate (generally 2-3m/s) to enhance the heat dissipation effect.Optimize the installation layout: When designing the installation layout, ensure that there is enough space around the heating lamp for heat dissipation. Generally speaking, the distance between the electric heating element and the surrounding obstacles should be no less than 10-15cm to avoid heat accumulation. At the same time, avoid installing multiple heating lamps too densely to avoid affecting each other’s heat dissipation.Select high-quality lamps and accessoriesLamp selection: Choose a good quality lamp and check the filament material, manufacturing process and sealing performance of the lamp. It is preferred to choose a lamp with high-purity tungsten filament, fine processing and good sealing. For example, the filaments of some well-known brands of lamps are specially doped to improve the high temperature resistance and anti-aging ability of the filaments.Reflectors and filters: Use high-quality reflectors and filters. The reflectors should have high reflectivity, effectively reflect Infrared Quartz Heating Lamps, and reduce the energy output pressure of the lamp. The filters should be able to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the interior of the halogen infrared heating bulb to protect it. For example, the use of gold-plated or aluminum-plated reflectors can have a reflectivity of more than 90%, which can significantly improve the heating efficiency and also help to extend the life of the lamp.Regular maintenance and cleaningClean the lamp and reflector: Clean the halogen lamp replacement parts and reflector regularly (such as once a week or every two weeks). Use a clean, soft cloth to gently wipe to remove impurities such as dust and oil. For stubborn stains, a small amount of special cleaning agent can be used. Be careful to avoid scratching the surface of the infrared heating bulb and the reflective layer of the reflector when cleaning.Check electrical components: Regularly check the electrical components of the heating lamp, including wires, plugs, switches, etc. Check for signs of aging, looseness or damage. If any problems are found, replace the electrical components in time to ensure the normal operation of the Infrared Quartz Heating Element.
