Product Sizes
A strip 1.7 inches in width and length from 5 to 38 inches (43 by 965 mm) can be heated
with a single Model 4185. Mounting two or more heaters side-by-side can create different
heated areas. For example, Figure 3 shows eight heaters installed cylindrically to provide
high heat concentration on work-piece objects. Heating efficiency is highest on objects 1
inch or larger. Figure 4 shows three heaters installed to provide heat to a moving web of
material. Additional heaters could be used in similar applications requiring greater heat
flux density.
Lamps
The Model 4185 utilizes high intensity, short wave tungsten lamps. The tungsten emitter
in the lamps has an operating temperature of up to 4000°F (2205°C) with a spectral
energy peak wavelength of 1.15 microns. Each heater requires one lamp to operate. The
Model 4185 will heat a strip that is 1.7 inch (43 mm) wide and is available in heated
lengths of 5, 10, 16, 25 and 38 inches (127, 254, 406, 635 and 965 mm). Heated lengths
should be at least 20% larger than work-piece.
