Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the best infrared emitter for my application?
If the absorption characteristics of the target material are known, it may be possible to use peak emission wavelength as a means of choosing the most suitable emitter. If those characteristics aren’t known, small scale testing with 1 or 2 emitters may be enough to provide a better understanding of what works with the material in question. Another key factor is the thermal response time required by the process. Ceramic emitters typically require about 10-12 minutes to reach steady-state temperature. Quartz cassette emitters require about half this time, with tungsten/halogen emitters close to full output within a few seconds.
How are heating elements controlled?
To monitor or control heat temperature for ceramic or quartz elements and heaters, we recommend using a Type K thermocouple. These can be used with a suitable temperature controller or monitor.
What is the recommended reflector specification for securely mounting an element?
For optimal stability, use a slot hole size of 42 mm x 15 mm with a reflector thickness between 0.75 mm and 0.9 mm. Increasing the size or thickness beyond these specifications may cause the pillar to weaken or break.
Can Ceramicx develop custom elements and components?
Yes. When a customer needs an emitter or component custom made for their application, we’re always happy to discuss and develop new ideas. Please contact us with your project details.
