Molecules that make up a substance maintain the temperature of the substance itself by constantly repeating vibrations. When a constant light is applied to this motion, the vibrations become larger, and the heat generated increases proportionally. This is known as the "principle of light heating." Heat transfer is physically limited to three types, and light heating falls under "radiative heat transfer." The fields and processes where light heating excels include heat treatment, degassing, reactions, deposition, and drying. 【Three Principles of Heat Transfer】 ■ Conduction - A phenomenon where heat moves based on temperature differences without the transport of energy through the movement or radiation of substances within the material. ■ Convective Heat Transfer - A phenomenon where heat is transferred by the actual flow of fluids. ■ Radiative Heat Transfer - A phenomenon where heat is transferred through thermal radiation and thermal absorption. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The "halogen lamp heater" is a highly efficient lamp-type radiant heating source that converts over 85% of the input power into infrared radiation. Reducing power consumption achieves lower running costs. Using a tungsten filament with a small heat capacity as the heating element allows for non-contact rapid temperature rise and fall. Additionally, unlike resistance heating sources that continuously consume power, it can be turned ON when needed and OFF when not, reducing running costs. 【Features】 ■ High-efficiency energy source ■ Excellent temperature rise and fall performance ■ Light wavelength matched to material absorption characteristics ■ High control performance ■ Compact and clean heat source ■ Long lifespan with consistent energy radiation *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 10 nm (10×10^-9 m) to 100,000 nm are referred to as "light," and all radiating bodies that emit electromagnetic waves in this wavelength range are called "light sources." When we commonly refer to light, we are talking about visible light, which has wavelengths between 400 nm and 750 nm. Light with shorter wavelengths (10 nm to 400 nm) is called ultraviolet light, while light with longer wavelengths (750 nm to 100,000 nm) is referred to as infrared light.

The main causes of halogen lamp failure are as follows: (1) Decrease in illuminance due to blackening (2) Filament breakage (3) Coil pitch short due to sag (4) Seal failure Among these, it was known that the first three causes of lifespan factors are related to the halogen cycle, but the understanding of this was quite poor. However, recently, measurements of gas phases that contribute to these lifespan factors have been reported using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, and the kinematic model for lifespan has become considerably clearer.

We will introduce the control methods for infrared halogen heaters. The typical lighting control methods used when turning on a halogen heater are the "phase control method with soft start function" and the "cycle control method with zero-cross function." The "phase control method with soft start function" controls the conduction time (phase angle) for each half cycle of the AC power supply. In the "cycle control method with zero-cross function," the heat generation of the halogen heater is controlled by adjusting the ratio of the on period to the off period within a fixed cycle (usually selectable). 【Features of the Phase Control Method with Soft Start Function】 ■ Controls the conduction time (phase angle) for each half cycle of the AC power supply to regulate the heat generation of the halogen heater. ■ Allows for gradual voltage adjustment, enabling soft start control. ■ Minimizes the impact of inrush current. ■ There is a risk of causing malfunction in surrounding electronic devices due to the generation of harmonics, so caution is needed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
