Infrared heating uses infrared lamps, commonly called heat lamps to transmit infrared radiation to the body that is being heated. When bodies with a large surface area need to be heated, infrared lamps are often used in banks.

Short Wave Infrared Lamps

Short Wave IR Lamp transmits heat in the form of electromagnetic waves at a velocity of approximately 3,00,000 Km/Sec i.e., at the speed of light.These lamps are not only the fastest in transmitting heat but are most suitable for specific applications involving vacuum technology and dust free (clean room) conditions.

Medium Wave Infrared Lamps

Infrared heaters are matched to different requirements by the correct selection of wavelength. Short wave heaters offer excellent depth of penetration while medium wave heaters rapidly heat the surface and thin layers and feature very high absorption by water films. Medium wave heaters are particularly suitable for drying processes. and similar applications. They can realize energy savings of over 50% when compared with short wave heaters.

Carbon Wave Infrared Lamps

High heating efficiency and rapid cool down make the mediumwave infrared carbon heater from Heraeus the only medium-wave heater to offer response times comparable to shortwave lamps.

Carbon IR heaters have a unique filament design that combines the versatile medium-wave spectral emission with very short reaction times of just seconds. They are made with high-quality quartz tubes and gold reflectors for high efficiency. The unique Heraeus "Figure 8" Twin Tube design gives Heraeus carbon lamps higher power densities and good mechanical stability. Round tube designs are also available.
