What Is an Infrared Lamp?

Infrared lamp, a lamp whose main component is in the infrared spectral range.

Infrared light

Infrared lamp (infrared lamp),

The infrared lamp is constructed by extending a tungsten wire into an inflated quartz tube. Tungsten wire generates heat under the action of AC voltage and heats the gas in the quartz tube, thereby generating infrared electromagnetic waves. Infrared radiation radiates outward and can be used for heating.

Quartz near-infrared and far-infrared use transparent or translucent quartz glass as the lamp shell to generate near-infrared or far-infrared radiation spectrum. Infrared is an electromagnetic wave that travels at the speed of light and carries very high energy. The intensity of infrared radiation of different models of the same power and different wavelengths varies.

A. Long-wave infrared (ie far-infrared) features: fast heating speed, uniform heating, small thermal inertia, it takes only 1-3 minutes to reach the constant temperature time of the component, the energy radiation conversion efficiency is as high as 60% -75%, and it does not burst when hot or cold , Energy saving and long service life.

B. Short-wave infrared (ie near-infrared) features: It has 1-3 seconds heating and cooling time, making the heating process control more flexible. The single- and twin-tube highly efficient and durable gold-coated reflective layers can achieve a radiation efficiency of more than 96% and a long service life, generally more than 10,000 hours. It is especially widely used for drying and curing of high-speed printing equipment. It can quickly heat the surface of objects with plastics, water and other solvents, and has the characteristics of being quickly absorbed by water films to achieve drying effects. Such as Heidelberg, Roland, Komori, Ryobi and other offset presses; Mai Andy, Gallas, Yajiafa, and other flexographic printing presses; hardcover books and linkage production line equipment, such as Martini, Kolbus hardcover linkage Line etc.

Infrared heating lamp

Infrared heating / industrial lamps are made of blown blister or pressed glass and are a reflector lamp that provides precisely controlled energy radiation. They are simple, safe, transparent, and easy to maintain and transport. Coated red glass reduces visible light (glare) by 75%.

Hard glass has high mechanical and thermal strength and can resist sudden cooling and water splashing. Taking into account the allowable bulb and lamp temperature, 150W lamps conform to the IRI chapter of the IEC240 standard, while other lamps conform to the IR11 chapter.

The position of the ignition point of infrared heating / industrial lamps depends on their outer bulbs: the light bulbs of transparent bulbs are not restricted; for lamps coated with red, the position of the lamp head is upward and the deviation is within 45 degrees.

The tube-shaped double-ended quartz lamp is made of high-quality quartz material. It is an efficient heating source that emits short-wave infrared rays. Some have a reflective layer. The filament is supported by a tungsten wire to prevent the filament from sagging. It has high efficiency. It has the advantages of fast heat transfer, sensitive response to the control device, compact structure and light weight. It is used in thermoelectronic wafers in the semiconductor industry, blowing PETP bottles, infrared fillers for reflow soldering equipment, dry fillers, dry paint in automotive repairs, medical applications, copier toner positioning, melting of printed circuit board solder, food heating and Disinfection and more.

In ordinary visible light, red light has the longest wavelength (red, orange, yellow, green, and blue indigo in order from long to short), the strongest penetration ability, and the widest range of transmission, so it can be used as a warning function. For example, Red lights are used in traffic lights to indicate the need for parking. Red lights are used at the rear of cars and motorcycles to warn vehicles behind to keep their distance, and the red signs on the back of bicycles are also used to reflect red light. The role of warnings.
