Efficient heating (time reduction, continuous operation, mass production, equipment miniaturization)
Organic substances, polymers, moisture, and ceramics have absorbers at locations of 3μ or more, so when far infrared rays are applied, molecular vibrations become active, leading to a rapid increase in temperature. This allows for a reduction in heating time and the possibility of downsizing heating furnaces. This is one of the most significant effects of far infrared rays. The connections of atomic groups that make up substances are constantly undergoing micro-vibrations, and each substance has its own characteristic vibration. The wavelength of far infrared rays overlaps with the natural frequencies of most substances. Therefore, when far infrared rays are applied to many substances, the vibrations of the constituent atomic groups and lattice vibrations are excited, converting electromagnetic wave energy into vibrational energy within the substance, resulting in thermal vibrations and heat generation. This is the mechanism of far infrared absorption.
【Trivia: Effects of Far Infrared Heating】
- Efficient heating (time reduction, continuous operation, mass production, equipment downsizing)
- Uniform heating throughout the interior of the substance (quality improvement, yield enhancement)
- Uniform temperature distribution (quality improvement, yield enhancement)
- Easy temperature control of heating furnaces (quality improvement, automation, labor saving)
- Effect remains unchanged even in a vacuum / clean heating possible / environmentally friendly heater
