Black Body/Flat Panel Infrared Heaters
 |
Flat Panel Infrared Heaters are very efficient infrared heat sources in that as much as 80% of the applied energy is converted into radiant energy. Typical ratings are 10-15 watts per square inch. The Flat Panel Infrared Heater’s advantage versus radiant elements such as quartz tube, metal sheath tubular and ceramic is the complete, wide area, uniform coverage provided. A broad range of standard sizes and ratings can form the modular base of a radiant heating system. Custom sizes and ratings can also be designed for special or unique applications. The standard material, Quartz Cloth, a cleanable Black Glass and extra-durable Stainless Steel emitter surfaces are available. |
| Because of the rugged construction, Flat Panel Infrared Heaters are resistant to shock and vibration. No reflectors are required, eliminating maintenance requirements. Without insulation, the overall thickness is 1-1/2″ – with insulation, 3″. Thermowells can be installed near the surface for precise control of the sheath temperature. By controlling the sheath temperature, the wavelength | |
Specifications
