Medium Wave Infrared Heaters with Fins are a type of radiant heating system that operates in the medium infrared wavelength range, typically between 2 to 4 microns. These heaters are designed to emit infrared radiation that is efficiently absorbed by many materials, making them well-suited for industrial and commercial heating applications.
Key Features:
- Medium Wave Infrared: This wavelength is ideal for heating surfaces with moisture or for applications requiring moderate penetration depth. It provides a balance between surface and deep heating.
- Fins: Fins are integrated to increase the surface area of the heater, which enhances heat dissipation and improves thermal efficiency. They help in maintaining a stable temperature and extending the heater's lifespan by reducing heat buildup.
- Materials: Often made from quartz tubes or metal sheathed elements, combined with aluminum or other heat-conductive fins.
Advantages:
- Efficient Heating: Directly heats objects and surfaces without warming the air, leading to faster and more efficient energy use.
- Targeted Heating: Ideal for spot or zone heating.
- Durability: Finned design helps manage heat better, reducing wear and enhancing reliability.
Common Applications:
- Paint curing and drying
- Plastic forming
- Food processing
- Space and zone heating in warehouses or workshops
