Infrared Lamps
|
Infrared
lamps can be categorized into two general wavelengths:
short and medium wave. Short
wave sources (peak
emission between 0.9 and 1.6 micron) provide
excellent
depth of penetration while medium wave
sources (peak
emission between 2.4 – 2.7 micron) rapidly
heat the surface and are highly absorbed by water films. Medium wave
sources are extremely useful for most drying processes. They are
efficient
and economical sources of infrared.
Infrared
radiation provides high efficiency, direct transfer of heat. Lamps
are manufactured as single tube or twin tube. They can be produced in
various lengths to match your particular process.
|
TCS
Technologies offers replacement infrared lamps for drying,
evaporation and heating of water based coatings, powder coatings,
lacquers, primers, finish coats, printing ink and paints. We invite
you to learn more about our products and experience the quality and
value we can bring to your business. Infrared lamps are available for
most dryers and are divided into several groups:
Infrared
Halogen lamps – Quartz infrared heater lamps (QIH)
Medium
Wave emitters
Short
Wave emitters
Both
the medium wave and short wave emitters are available in single or
twin tube design. Both are available with Gold Reflectors to
concentrate IR radiation
|
Halogen
infrared lamps (quartz infrared heater lamps QIH)
provide fast response and economical cost. Specifically designed for
heating applications, they are available in a wide array of sizes,
wattages and mountings. They offer:
Fast
warm up and cool down
typically, maximum output is achieved in 40 seconds yet provide
rapid cool down when lamp is switched off.
Long
life halogen
cycle reduces wall blacking along with thinning of filament. Average
life ranges from 1000 to 5000 hours
|
Quartz
infrared heater lamps (QIH) are voltage sensitive.
The halogen gas fill is designed for specific filament (coil)
temperature. Always match incoming voltage to lamp voltage. Over
voltage, say 10% high will shorten lamp life by 33%. Under voltage,
say 15% results in low filament temperature negating the benefits of
the halogen cycle. Operating slightly under voltage causes no harm
and actually extends lamp life.
The
table below references common infrared lamps offered by TCS
Technologies. Many more are available. If you dry with infrared, TCS
Technologies has the right lamp for you.

TCS
Technologies provides standard short-wave infrared lamps to fit most
existing dryers. Available heated lengths are 5”, 8”,
10”, 16”, 25”, 38”, and 58”. Custom
sizes, wattage and voltages are available.
Medium
and short wave infrared emitters are manufactured to size for direct
replacement into your dryer. They are available in single or twin
tube designs. Pictured below are twin tube assemblies complete with
gold reflector. This design greatly increases efficiency compared to
standard infrared lamps. Gold
is the best reflector of infrared radiation. Standard lamps radiate
360 degrees relying on a secondary reflector to focus infrared toward
the item being heated. Secondary reflectors quickly become dirty and
inefficient. Old, inefficient systems can be brought up to “like
new” condition by installing gold reflector lamps. TCS
Technologies provides infrared lamps with an integral gold reflector
resulting in the following advantages:
Increased
efficiency compared to secondary reflectors
Virtually
100% of the infrared energy is directed toward the item being heated
Eliminates
the need for costly, inefficient secondary reflectors
Can
be grouped together for very high watt densities
Snap-in
design for quick and easy installation; no wire connections
necessary
Interior
equipment surfaces run cooler

Twin
tubes lamps are essentially two lamps fused together (see
illustration above left). They provide more power per unit area and
are typically used in printing presses. Lamps can be made in medium
or short wavelengths. All twin tube lamps incorporate a gold
reflector to maximize Infrared output. Lamps can be wired in series
or parallel connection:

The
easiest and most secure way of obtaining the correct replacement is
by providing the following information:
TCS
Technologies offers a wide array of ink jet and web printing lamps.
This includes direct replacement lamps for Heidelberg, Grafix and
Heraeus equipment.
We
also offer lamp mounting hardware consisting of:
|
Ceramic
mounting block with fuse clip
to enclose all electrical connections |
|
Snap
clip assembly |
|
Recessed
single contact lamp holder for quartz infrared lamps |
We
also provide complete lamp assemblies with operational controls for
retrofit into your process.
Contact factory for details.
