The service life of halogen infrared heating lamps is generally around 5000 hours.The factors that affect the service life of halogen infrared heating tubes are mainly the following aspects:
Use environmentTemperature: If the IR Halogen Heating Bulb works for a long time at too high a temperature, it will accelerate the aging of its internal tungsten wire and other components, thereby shortening its service life. For example, in some high-temperature industrial environments, if the rated operating temperature range of the Infrared Halogen Heating Element is exceeded, its life may be greatly reduced.Humidity: A humid environment may affect the insulation performance of the halogen heater lamp, increase the risk of leakage, and also affect its service life. Especially in some workshops or places with high humidity, moisture-proof measures need to be taken to protect the heating tube.Dust and corrosive substances: If there is a lot of dust or corrosive substances in the environment around the heating tube, it may adhere to the surface of the heating tube, affecting its heat dissipation and normal operation, thereby shortening its life. For example, in some chemical, metallurgical and other industries, special protective treatment is required for the heating tube.
UsageFrequent start and stop: Frequent start and stop of the infrared quartz heating lamp will cause a large current shock to it, which is easy to damage the internal components and reduce the service life. Therefore, in actual use, frequent start and stop of the heating tube should be avoided as much as possible. If necessary, continuous work or reasonable arrangement of working time can be adopted.Overload use: If the rated power of the heating tube is exceeded, the working temperature will be too high and aging will be accelerated. When selecting a heating tube, the power size should be reasonably selected according to actual needs to avoid overload use.Installation method: The correct installation method can ensure the normal operation and heat dissipation of the heating tube and extend its service life. For example, during installation, the appropriate distance between the halogen heat lamp and the heated object should be ensured to avoid local overheating caused by being too close; at the same time, ensure that the heating tube is firmly installed to avoid damage due to vibration and other reasons.
Product qualityManufacturing process: High-quality halogen infrared heating tubes usually use advanced manufacturing processes, such as high-precision tungsten wire winding, good sealing performance, etc., which help to improve the service life of the heating tube. Some products with poor quality may have defects in the manufacturing process, such as uneven tungsten wire, poor sealing, etc., which can easily cause premature damage to the heating tube.Material quality: The material quality of the halogen lamp replacement parts directly affects its performance and life. For example, high-quality tungsten filaments, halogen gas, glass tubes and other materials can withstand higher temperatures and longer use, while low-quality materials may be prone to problems during use.In order to extend the service life of halogen infrared heating tubes, the following measures can be taken:Maintain a good use environment and try to avoid the influence of high temperature, high humidity, dust and corrosive substances.Use the halogen bulb correctly and avoid frequent startup and shutdown, overload use, etc.Choose products with reliable quality and install and maintain them according to the manufacturer’s requirements.Regularly inspect and maintain the infrared heating element, such as cleaning the surface dust, checking the connection lines, etc., and deal with problems in time.
