FACE OPTIONS

QUARTZ COMPOSITE is the standard face on the F-Series panel heaters, our best selling heater due to its flexibility, durability, efficiency, and price. It consists of a patented process, using high temperature material, which bonds quartz fabric with a ceramic fiber coil support using a special cement. The end result is a unique, highly durable, quartz composite face heater.

THE F-SERIES has a tremendous amount of flexibility. The heater can be manufactured in rectangular (most common), square, round, or even C-shaped. The heat can be aimed in a single direction, which is most common, or can be aimed in dual directions. Special designs help to avoid cold spots across wide web applications. The maximum watt density of 25 wsi (39 kw/m2) provides sufficient power for most applications. Again, making the F-Series the logical heater choice. Most infrared heaters on the market today require the use of an external reflector, which results in a dramatic loss of radiant efficiency over time. The proven design of the F-Series heater requires no external reflector and therefore results in consistently high radiant efficiency over time. Match all of these benefits along with long life and competitive pricing and a great value is guaranteed.

The F-Series is used in virtually all process heating applications. The only areas of concern would be in an application where material could damage the heater face or in a vacuum application. Otherwise, this is the perfect heater for most infrared heating, drying, or curing applications.

F-SERIES SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensionally, the heater can be as wide as 30" (762mm) and as long as 84" (2133 mm), though not this wide and long in the same heater. An 84" (2133mm) long heater is more commonly 12" (305mm) wide. This heater is very flexible in sizing and watt density options. It has a maximum watt density of 25 wsi (39 kw/m2). Durability is defined by a typical life expectancy of 25,000 hours. The heater has a high radiant efficiency of 78.5%. Because the heater design does not depend on an external reflector, the heater maintains that efficiency over time. The F-Series heat transfer rate at 25 wsi (39 kw/m2) is 2.4 Btu/sq. ft./sec. delivered to the product. The F-Series heat transfer rate at 12.5 wsi (19.4 kw/m2) is 1.15 Btu/sq. ft./sec. delivered to the product.

FBA Series

THE FBA MODEL has holes drilled in the heater face to allow for forced airflow through the heater. The purpose of the airflow is to either protect sensitive material or components from being damaged from the IR heating, improve drying by gently sweeping the moisture away, or to provide combination infrared/convection heating. This heater is an extension of the F-Series heater. The heater is manufactured with either 1/8" (3.2mm) or 1/4" (6.4mm) holes that are most often 1" (25.4mm) on center. There is no internal insulation in this heater which allows for a 2"-5" (50.8-127mm) typical plenum area in the heater cavity. The heater will commonly have a back-mounted 3" (76.2mm) hole for airflow. The hole size can match your specifications. Smaller heaters will have one hole, while larger heaters could have multiple holes. The airflow can also be directed through the side or end of the heater casing in some applications. Individual high temperature fans can be attached directly to these holes or a centrifugal fan can be used with ductwork to supply the air to multiple heaters. The airflow commonly ranges from 20 - 50 cfm/sq. ft. Applications include removing moisture, secondary stage powder coating oven, screen printing, and electronics, just to name a few.

FBA-SERIES SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensionally the heater can be as wide as 24" (610mm) and as long as 72" (1829mm), though not this wide and long in the same heater. A 72" (1829mm) long heater is more commonly 12" (305mm) wide. The heater has a maximum watt density of 25 wsi (39 kw/m2). Durability is defined by a typical life expectancy of 25,000 hours. The heater has a high radiant efficiency of 78.5%. Because the heater design does not depend on an external reflector, the heater maintains that efficiency over time.

F-Series Panel Heater - Models: FB & FBA
The F-Series line of IR panel heaters have a very durable emitter surface constructed using a patented manufacturing process. The model FB has a solid flat uniform surface. The FBA heater has air holes drilled throughout the face of the heater. The insulation is removed to allow for an air delivery plenum in the FBA heater.
