Recommend some methods to improve the heating efficiency of infrared heating lamps Choose the right wavelengthDifferent materials have different absorption wavelength ranges for infrared. For example, water has a strong ability to absorb infrared in the 2.5-3.0μm and 5-7μm bands, while many organic materials have better absorption in the 3-5μm band. Therefore, after understanding the infrared absorption characteristics of the heated object, choosing an Quartz Infrared Heating Element with a matching emission wavelength can allow the heated object to better absorb infrared rays, thereby improving the heating efficiency. For example, in the food drying industry, because food contains a lot of water, choosing an Quartz Infrared Heating Lamp with an emission wavelength of 2.5-3.0μm can make water absorb heat more efficiently and speed up the drying speed.Use a reflectorInstalling a reflector can effectively improve the heating efficiency. The reflector is generally made of metal materials with high reflectivity, such as aluminum or silver. Aluminum reflectors are relatively cheap and have good reflective properties in the infrared band. Installing the reflector on the back and sides of the Infrared Halogen Heater Parts can reflect the infrared rays that originally diverge in these directions to the heated object. For example, in industrial paint booths, parabolic reflectors can focus infrared rays on heated objects such as automotive parts, making the heat more concentrated and the heating efficiency increased by 30% – 50%.Optimize heating lamp layouthalogen heat lamp should be arranged reasonably according to the shape and size of the heated object. For flat objects, such as printed circuit boards, the heating lamps can be evenly arranged above the object to ensure that the infrared rays can evenly cover the entire surface. For irregularly shaped objects, such as some plastic products with complex curved surfaces, the optimal position and angle of the infrared halogen heating lamp need to be determined through experiments or simulation calculations. For example, when heating a spherical object, multiple quartz infrared halogen heating element can be placed around the sphere and the angles can be adjusted so that the infrared rays can evenly irradiate all parts of the sphere, reduce the heating dead angles, and improve the overall heating efficiency.Control the heating distanceAdjusting the distance between the infrared heating lamp and the heated object is one of the key factors to improve the heating efficiency. Too close a distance may cause local overheating and uneven surface temperature of the object; too far a distance will disperse the infrared energy and weaken the heating effect. Generally speaking, the appropriate distance needs to be determined based on the power of the heating lamp and the characteristics of the heated object. For example, for an Infrared Quartz Halogen Heating Tube with a power of 500W, when heating small plastic parts, it is more appropriate to control the distance to about 10-15cm. In actual operation, the distance can be adjusted by testing the temperature distribution on the surface of the heated object to achieve uniform heating.Improve the heating environmentInsulating the heating environment can reduce heat loss and improve heating efficiency. Insulating materials such as rock wool and polyurethane foam can be used to build a relatively closed heating space. For example, in the process of heating samples in a small laboratory, wrapping the heated samples and Halogen Heater Replacement with an insulated box can effectively reduce the diffusion of heat to the surrounding environment, so that more heat can be used to heat the samples. At the same time, it is also important to control the humidity of the environment because water vapor absorbs infrared rays. In an environment with high humidity, a dehumidifier can be used to reduce the humidity so that the infrared rays can be better absorbed by the object.Use the power adjustment functionMany Halogen Heater Replacement Bulbs have a power adjustment function. In the early stage of heating, in order to quickly increase the temperature, the power of the Halogen Heating Quartz Lamps can be adjusted to a higher level; when the temperature approaches the target temperature, the power is reduced to avoid excessive temperature and make the temperature evenly distributed. For example, in the glass annealing process, the power of the heating lamp can be set to 80% – 90% at the beginning to heat the glass quickly. When the temperature reaches near the annealing temperature, the power is adjusted to 40% – 50% to slowly anneal the glass at a suitable temperature, which can effectively use energy and improve heating efficiency.
