Which wavelength of light tube should you choose for the best fit?

      The working principle of infrared radiation heating tubes is as follows: when electricity passes through the infrared radiation heating tube, on one hand, it transfers heat to the surface of the heated material (workpiece) by convection through the medium (air), just like a conventional electric heating tube. On the other hand, the infrared radiation heating tube emits a large amount of infrared radiation of a certain wavelength. When this radiation is absorbed by the material, the internal molecules are activated and collide, generating a significant amount of thermal energy, thereby heating the material from the inside. This method of heating objects using this characteristic is known as infrared radiation heating. Due to the varying degrees of absorption of infrared radiation by materials of different compositions at different wavelengths, different wavelengths of infrared radiation can be produced by altering the cross-sectional size, length, winding method of the heating wire, and changing the composition of the inert gas material.,Adapting to different heating objects. Mainly used for infrared heating are wavelengths0.76～2.0μmRight-side shortwave, wavelength2.0～4.0μmLeft and right medium wave (1.4～1.6μmLeft and right of the medium and short waves, and wavelengths longer than4μmLong-wave infrared radiation, also known as near-infrared radiation, medium and long wavelengths are referred to as mid-infrared and far-infrared radiation, respectively. In industrial applications, short-wave and medium-wave infrared heating tubes are typically chosen based on the different heating objects, whereas consumer products (such as household heaters, ovens, etc.) generally use medium and long-wave infrared heating tubes. Confused about short-wave, quick medium-wave, medium-wave, and long-wave? Which wavelength tube is suitable? Generally, water, paint, inks, plastics, etc., absorb mid-wavelengths better, while metals absorb short-wavelengths better. However, this is just a general guideline, and most users have different requirements. For example, a plastic manufacturer, where plastics usually absorb wavelengths greater than...2.0μmInfrared, then medium wave is a suitable choice, as proven by the fact that medium wave heating is quite effective. However, the client finds the line speed too slow, and the medium wave startup time is also long, because the filament temperature of the medium wave lamps is only850-900Degree, the linear speed cannot be guaranteed. To ensure both product quality and line speed, we must opt for short wave and fast medium wave. How do we choose? One method is to refer to similar projects with the same parameters; another is through experimentation. I lean towards experimentation, as it can yield the most accurate or nearly accurate data. In fact, it has been proven that experimentation is necessary and the correct choice. If I were to judge based on experience, I would choose the fast medium wave.1.Quick startup time; medium wave and short wave startup times are identical.(1-2S);2. The short wave has a shorter wavelength than the medium wave, making it closer to the medium wave (medium wave heating is more effective). 3. Fast medium wave filament temperatures are higher than medium wave filament temperatures, with stronger energy. It always seems that fast medium wave is more suitable than short wave, but experiments prove that short wave is more effective than both fast medium wave and medium wave. Choosing short wave is the right decision. Proof has shown that experiments are the best way to determine which wavelength is suitable for you.
