Over-temperature control — A second thermocouple senses for over-
temperature, shutting down the system while activating a signal light
or optional alarm horn. Solid State controls and mechanical
contactors can fail in the on position so it is very important to have
this safety backup feature.

DANGER: Hazard of Fire. These heaters are not for use in atmospheres where flam-
mable vapors, gases or liquids are present as defined in the National Electrical Code.
Where solvents, water, etc. are being evaporated from the process it is necessary to
provide substantial quantities of ventilating air to carry away all resulting vapors.
Do not mount heater closer than 6 inches to any structural material that does not have at least a
200°C continuous temperature rating.
WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Installation must be grounded to earth to avoid shock
hazard. Disconnect power to installation before servicing or installing heater. CONTINUED

The housing for the CRD heaters is the same construction as all CRA
arrays except for the extra height needed for the long shaft of the
CRD heaters. This space is then filled with ceramic fiber insulation
with foil backing to keep the wiring and terminal area much cooler.

Steps to Design a Custom CRA E-Mitter Linear Assembly for Your Application
1.) Select a housing length from the Stock CRK Housing Lengths Table on page 7-17.
2.) Select the E-Mitters Series. The Stock CRK Housing Lengths Table gives the various possible
E-Mitter configurations that will fit the housing length you selected.
Note the Maximum Power Rating of the housing when making your selection.
CRB E-Mitters can be found on pages 7-24 through 7-26.
CRC E-Mitters can be found on pages 7-27 and 7-28.
CRN E-Mitters can be found on page 7-35.
CRZ E-Mitters can be found on pages 7-36.
3.) Select E-Mitter Reflectors to match the Style and Quantity of E-Mitters you selected.
Note: Reflectors are complete with mounting hardware to attach to housing (page 7-18).
4.) Select the number of terminal blocks required for wiring. This would typically be one for each
heater for the power leads and one for each thermocouple (page 7-19 and 7-20).

Example
A 40-inch-long CRA assembly is required for a given application.

Step 1) A combination of CRBs and CRCs will be used. CRB E-Mitters were selected for the inside three
heaters to limit the number of unheated gaps that would be present if all CRC E-Mitters were used.
The middle CRB E-Mitter has a thermocouple for temperature control. The outer two heaters in
this example are CRC E-Mitters at a different w/in2 than the CRBs because the heat required at the
edges is not the same as the center. The heater color selected is Metamorphing Rose.

Step 2) Three Part Number CRK00007 Reflectors are required for the CRB E-Mitters and Two Part Number
CRK00006 Reflectors are required for the CRC E-Mitters.

Step 3) A total of six terminal Blocks, Part Number EHD-108-101, are required. One for the power leads
of each E-Mitter and one for the thermocouple on CRB10033.

Low Noise Thermocouple Option

Generally the standard thermocouple is acceptable for the majority of
applications. Most instrumentation inputs have noise rejection sufficient
to filter out unwanted 60 hz AC noise that the thermocouple picks up from
being mounted close to the coil element for ideal temperature sensing.
For those applications where emf generated noise is a problem for the
instrument, Tempco offers a low noise thermocouple solution. The low
noise thermocouple option is designed to minimize the induced AC noise
by using stainless steel overbraid on the high temperature fiberglass color-
coded 24 GA solid leads as a ground shield and a ceramic insulator at the
thermocouple junction.

Truly Efficient Infrared Heating Systems

The small amount of energy that is not reflected by the gold
or white layer is conducted through the ceramic body to an
optional insulated layer of ceramic fiber. This highly efficient Tube temperature 250°C (482°F) min.,

Unique Reflector Technology

W
Single Infrared Elements — Directional heat is easi-
A Medium Wave ly achieved by positioning the coil in one focus of a
V parabolic shaped ceramic reflector. The surface of the
reflector can be made of a highly reflective surface, i.e.
E
24-K gold.
L
Long Wave Multiple Infrared Elements — To spread the heat
E more evenly inside the ceramic housing and send it to
N the application, the flat reflector has a domic surface.
Surfaces covered with gold domes will have more
G
specular reflection while white and black domes will
T have more mixed and diffuse reflections, respectively.
H Thus, the choice of the reflecting surface depends on
the characteristics of the striking IR energy that comes
from the surface of the heated material.

peak emitted wavelength of these heaters to match the peak absorption wavelength for a
0.6
given material or application. By modifying the temperature of the emitter, its peak emitted
wavelength will change according to Wien’s displacement law (see pg. 7-107). All emit-
ters will emit a range of wavelengths above
0.4 and below their peak value. (See spectrum WATER ABSORPTION
graph on page 7-103.) The design of an effi- 100
cient infrared heating system must consider

SPECTRAL NATURE: To address this issue, heaters should be designed to emit 0
wavelengths that closely match the absorption band of the processed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
material in a given application. By carefully considering the broad side-bands Wavelength, µm
of the emitted radiation and absorption, it is possible to design systems
that will enhance the heat transfer rates at different stages of the heating process.

Infrared Energy Spectrum Emission

0≤θ’≤π/2 Vaporization of water is best achieved in the infrared spectrum at wavelengths in
θ’
the range of 3.1 and 6.1 µm (microns). After the water is removed, the infrared
L’λ,em(θ’,φ’)
heating rate should match the absorption spectrum of the base material to avoid
damaging it thermally. Similar approaches are used in many industries, such as
Automotive, Glass and Plastic processing, Textiles, Electronics and many others.

DIRECTIONAL NATURE: The directional nature of the heat distribution is

dA’n dealt with by consideration of how to direct heat toward an application. The effi-
dA ciency of the heating system depends strongly on the percentage of the total
infrared energy generated at the resistance coil that reaches the target material.
Consideration must be given to the fact that this infrared energy propagates from
the emitter in all possible directions in a non-uniform distribution of single wave-
0<Φ’≤2π length components.

5. Relative position and physical geometry. Infrared radiant energy is transported through space by
electromagnetic waves without the need of a conductive media (as
opposed to conduction or convection processes). Consequently,
heat can be delivered in concentrated areas at very fast rates.
Understanding these important characteristics will lead to a better
utilization of infrared heating technology.

Ceramic Infrared E-Mitter Technical Data

An Example of Emissive Power 3.7μm (34.6%)

All E-Mitter ceramic infrared heaters emit infrared energy in various wave-
lengths depending on their surface temperature. The CRE00002 E-Mitter
(bulb style, 250W, 120V, white) was tested as an example with the results
shown on the right. The values associated with temperature, emitted wave-
length distribution and percentages, were obtained when the heater reached
steady state conditions in room ambient. The value of the peak wavelength 4.0μm (30.8%)
λmax (3.7 microns) was calculated using Wien’s displacement law for a
blackbody from the peak temperature obtained in the tests. This calculation 4.2μm (12.3%)
is valid since the spectral emissive power of our ceramic E-Mitter closely 4.6μm (3.7%) 3.5μm (3.1%)
approximates the theoretical values in the Planck’s formulation for infrared 5.0μm (2.7%)
wavelength distribution. The family of Planck’s IR curves are available
upon request.

Temperature in °F

Wien’s Law is expressed by the following formula:

λmax = 5215.6µm/°F ÷ (T + 460)
T = Temperature °F
λmax = Peak Wavelength
Example:
What is the optimum peak E-Mitter surface temperature for heating a target material that has
its best absorption in the infrared wavelength range of 4.0 to 3.4 microns (µm)?
Average peak wavelength = (4.0 + 3.4) ÷ 2 = 3.7µm
Using Wien’s law we have;
3.7µm = 5215.6 ÷ (°F + 460) or °F = (5215.6 ÷ 3.7) – 460 = 949.6°F
This temperature is only a starting point and energy from the CRE E-Mitter that was tested.

point coincides to the highest % of the radiated proper heater wattage starting point.

Conveyor Systems
Moving heating systems generally achieve higher output per hour than is
possible with static systems. The radiant heater’s setpoint temperature is
set higher in conveyor systems than static systems due to the limited time
the product is under the heaters. Tests should be carried out to determine TEMPCO
the optimum conveyor speed, heating distance, and E-Mitter operating
temperature.
E-Mitter® Assembly
In applications such as drying pulp paper, the higher power level
required can potentially create a fire hazard if there are not safety
mechanisms built into the system. If a malfunction of the conveyor
system slows down or stops the conveyor completely, safety mechanisms
should be triggered that would shut down power to the heaters to avoid Heating
burning the material being cured or dried. Distance
Maximum Operating Temperature
Every heater has its maximum operating temperature printed on it. This
temperature was measured with a thermocouple and with the heater fac-
ing down on a highly reflective material. Target Material
In many practical situations, however, this maximum temperature is rarely
reached because most of the industrial materials absorb and transmit the
heat while reflecting only a fraction of the infrared energy.
