Harnessing the Power of Infrared Energy

From Blasdel Enterprises, Inc.
 

 
Infrared (IR) energy or radiant energy consists of electromagnetic waves or photons. All materials continuously emit or absorb electromagnetic waves. Therefore, all materials emit or absorb infrared. Infrared is a form of light that is invisible to human eyes but detectable by the feeling of heat on skin. Infrared occurs at wavelengths just below red light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared energy is within the electromagnetic spectrum between .76 and 1000 ?m. Infrared is divided into three ranges: short, medium and long wave infrared. The wavelength of short infrared ranges from .76 to 2 ?m. Long infrared for process heating uses from 4 to 10 ?m. As the wavelength decreases, the temperature of the radiant source increases. Some emitters crossover into more than one category of radiance. For example, an emitter that is consider4ed to be medium wave infrared operating at a lower temperature can fall into the long wave region.
