Infrared heat is transmitted directly in
the form of electromagnetic rays, at a velocity of approx. 300,000 km/sec:
i.e. at the speed of light.
IR is therefore not only the "fastest form
of heat", but is also suitable for particularly demanding applications
such as vacuum technology and clean room conditions.
Infrared heat is particularly economical on
energy compared to other heat sources because it acts quickly, directly on
product.
Short Wave IR emitters are suitable for all
applications in which the attainment of high temperatures in the shortest
possible time is what counts.
