Different types of industrial infrared heat lamp have the following main differences:
  1. Wavelength classificationShort-wave halogen IR heating lamps:The wavelength range is usually between 0.76 and 2.5 microns.Features: It has high energy density and penetration, can quickly heat the surface of objects, and the heating speed is extremely fast. It is suitable for occasions that require rapid heating and high temperature response requirements, such as metal surface treatment, coating drying, etc.Advantages: High heating efficiency, can reach a high temperature in a short time, saving time and energy. It also has a good heating effect on some materials with high reflectivity.Disadvantages: Due to the concentration of energy, the temperature control requirements are high, which is easy to cause local overheating. And it may not be suitable for some heat-sensitive materials.Medium-wave Infrared Heater for Flash Drying Machines:The wavelength range is generally between 2.5 and 4.0 microns.Features: The radiation is relatively uniform, the heating is relatively mild, and the overall temperature of the object can be evenly increased. It is suitable for most industrial heating and drying applications, such as plastic processing, food drying, etc.Advantages: Good temperature uniformity, not easy to produce local overheating, and strong adaptability to various materials. It can better control the heating process and ensure product quality.Disadvantages: Compared with short-wave halogen heat bulb, the heating speed is slightly slower.Long-wave halogen heating lamp:The wavelength range is usually above 4.0 microns.Features: The energy is relatively mild, the penetration ability is weak, and it mainly heats the surface of the object. It is suitable for materials that are sensitive to temperature and need to be heated slowly, such as paper, textiles, etc.Advantages: The heating process is relatively gentle, and it is not easy to damage the material. It is especially suitable for some occasions that require fine temperature control.Disadvantages: The heating speed is slow and the heating efficiency is relatively low.
  2. Material classificationQuartz infrared heating tube:Features: Made of quartz glass, it has good light transmittance and high temperature resistance. It can efficiently transmit infrared radiation and has good thermal stability.Advantages: Long service life and can work at higher temperatures. It has good transmittance to infrared rays of various wavelengths, and heating tubes of different wavelengths can be selected according to needs.Disadvantages: It is relatively fragile and easy to break, and needs to be operated carefully during installation and use.Ceramic infrared heating tube:Features: With ceramic material as the matrix, it has high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Heating is uniform and stable.Advantages: Strong and durable, not easy to damage. Can adapt to harsh working environments, such as humidity, corrosive gases, etc.Disadvantages: The heating speed is relatively slow, and the thermal conductivity is not as good as quartz heating tubes.Metal Quartz Infrared Heating Lamps:Features: Usually made of metal materials such as stainless steel, it has good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. The appearance is more beautiful and easy to install.Advantages: Fast heat dissipation, can quickly transfer heat to the surrounding environment. The shape and size can be customized according to different needs.Disadvantages: The emission efficiency of infrared rays is relatively low, and higher power may be required to achieve the same heating effect.
  3. Structural classificationStraight tube Mediumwave Infrared Lamp:Features: The shape is straight and the structure is simple. Easy to install, suitable for occasions with more spacious space.Advantages: Simple manufacturing process and low cost. Multiple straight tubes can be used in combination to meet the needs of different heating areas.Disadvantages: For some objects with complex shapes, the heating effect may not be ideal.U-shaped infrared heating tube:Features: U-shaped, which can provide a larger heating area in a smaller space.Advantages: Flexible installation, suitable for occasions with limited space. Can better adapt to some special shapes of heating objects.Disadvantages: Compared with the straight tube type, the manufacturing difficulty and cost are slightly higher.Special-shaped infrared heating tube:Features: Designed into various special shapes according to specific heating needs, such as spiral, ring, etc.Advantages: It can meet the heating requirements of various complex shapes and achieve precise heating.Disadvantages: High degree of customization, long production cycle, and high cost.
