Thermowells may be offered in two locations in the heater interior. Suitable to accept Chromalox standard thermocouples, they sense emitter temperature ensuring accurate wavelength emission. Fast response time of the unit reduces thermal lag. Aluminum emission surfaces are available for applications such as in the food industry. Standard placement of the thermowell is on side of heater.
Specials are available with thermowell exiting back of heater.
Uniform Radiation Pattern Assured with a wide flat infrared surface versus the line pattern given in normal radiant heaters. This eliminates uneven heating of the work and allows uniform heating of a stationary surface such as in an indexing process. The maximum amount of radiant energy is transferred to the work with very low heater convection losses. Typical installation distance of two to four inches from the work surface significantly reduces the energy input. The refractory board and bulk insulation behind the heating element help prevent back heat loss.
