Description
– Infrared heating is used to heat surrounding bodies using infrared radiation.
– Developments have been made to harness thermal energy through infrared
electromagnetic radiation for the benefit of mankind.
– In infrared heating, thermal energy is carried by infrared waves. The waves in the infrared
region have a wide range of wavelengths. The shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies
and higher heating temperatures.
– Radiation is the heat-transfer mechanism involved in infrared heaters. It directly warms
the surfaces of the objects within sight without heating the surrounding air, making
infrared heaters unique and advantageous.
– Infrared heaters are composed of a heating element and a reflective surface.
