Lose the Blanket...
06 November, 2009
Effective heating depends on a variety of variables and conditions – including everything that the weatherman can throw at us, day to day. Highly humid conditions, for example, bring a high level of unwanted interference into the business of infrared heating. Humid conditions effectively create a blanket of insulation between the heating source and the target. There are two ways to tackle this:Creating air movement, for example, to prevent the build up of humidity has a very positive value rather than a detrimental or cooling effect in the net application of infrared energy for heating.
In industrial settings, however, we at Ceramicx, not only have we come up with solutions by providing heaters for industrial processing in a bid of reducing the costs of thermoforming, we have come up with solutions that completely take out the uncertainty of humidity. By heating the target products within an air vacuum we improve the heating performance rate by over 30% - the job is done faster and uses less precious energy. This, of course, is no comfort to those drying the clothes or the dishes. Nature abhors a vacuum there and sunshine and air movement remain the best options. And when it comes down to heating people, infrared has yet another role to play. The job then involves using infrared technology to directly remove moisture and humidity from the air via products such as the Ceramicx PubSun range. Horses for courses – and all part of the art of Ceramicx heat work.
Leaders in providing infrared heating elements UK and to Ireland, at Ceramicx we have come up with various solutions with the end goal of providing savings to companies.
