Ceramic Infrared Heaters

Product Overview

An efficient heat source for many industrial and commercial applications, the Ceramic Infrared Heater is available in an array of sizes and modules. Underwriter's Laboratories component recognition is available on many of the items shown.

More Information

Parabolic or flat profiles, square, rectangular or round shapes, mounted in housings or panels, Ceramic Heaters can easily be installed and arranged to produce heat patterns limited only by the imagination of the designer.

Chameleon color changes from yellow to brown when processing temperatures are reached
Black Body Ceramic Infrared Heaters convert almost all applied energyinto radiant energy

* Ceramic Infared Heater Technical Manual

The maximum efficiency of the Black Body Ceramic Infrared Heater converts almost every watt of applied energy into radiant energy. Convection losses are minimal. Sheath temperatures can be controlled and the process can be zoned with a built-in thermocouple. The wavelength can be matched to specific absorption characteristics of the material being heated. Heat losses and changes in process requirements can also be compensated for.

Black Body Ceramic Infrared Heater with Holes
5/16" (8mm) holes throughout surface is practical for radiant heating applications with cooling requirements or where a 8-7/8" x 12-1/8" (225mm x 308mm) combination radiant/convective heat source is needed. Air blown through the surface would provide cooling or convection heat transfer. 4" ceramic insulated lead wires are provided. The standard rating is 1500W, 240V, at 14 watts/square inch.

Radiant Emission Patterns of Ceramic Emitters

Concentrated
Uniform
Wide Area

Housings for "A" Series Elements
Housings are for one or combinations of A-1 Series Black Body Ceramic Heaters. Other lengths and combinations are available - consult factory.

Housings include mounting bolts, reflectors, ceramic terminal blocks and pre-wired insulated bus.

Wire Guard
Wire guard protection in appropriate lengths is available to protect the heaters from damage.

Modular Panels

Modular design allows panels to be grouped for processing larger areas
The light weight of the individual panels makesinstallation easy
Placement of individual units permit uniform radiant heat pattern
Full 1 inch insulation reduces surface heat loss and lower ambient wiring temperatue.
Louvered terminal cover maintains low terminal area temperatue
Sturdy panel construction
Housing is supplied with terminal cover and required ceramic terminal blocks
ELF-6 can be wired for 240V 1 phase, 240V 3 phase, 480V 1 phase or 480V 3 phase. ELF-9 can be wired for 240V 1 phase or 3 phase
