Introduction to Infrared Process Heating

Infrared energy is the most basic form of heat that find applications in various manufacturing processes. For instance, such as infrared ovens are used for drying and heating. We are all confronted with energy conservation. Can infrared help avoid wasting energy? It can, provided we know how to use it efficiently. Essentially, infrared is an electromagnetic phenomenon, which is measured in wavelengths (microns). Electromagnetic energy particles attack the surface of materials to be processed after which conduction takes over. To use infrared successfully, we have to understand this reaction. Most metals act as a good heat conductor. In many cases, however, the conductivity is less than desired resulting in heat absorption and retardation. Some of the materials may work as an insulator, which prevents the penetration of heat. In this case, the infrared energy must be applied from two sides. One major advantage is the fact that heating tunnels or structures having infrared heat do not require heavy insulation as is necessary in convection ovens. However, shields on the sides may be needed to prevent drafts.

There are infrared heaters made of different materials and configurations, which provide cost-effective heating. Casso-Solar is a well-known infrared equipment manufacturer and offers a variety of infrared heaters across industries. We also offer customized designs and fabrication of industrial infrared equipment.
