Infrared emitter CIR®

IRshortwavemedium wave

Product overview Noblelight carbon infrared emitters (CIR®) feature a unique heating filament design that combines efficient radiation with very short response times in the seconds range. The unique twin-tube layout (the 'Golden 8') delivers higher radiation density and improved mechanical stability. Carbon infrared emitters are also available as round tubes.

Benefits These carbon infrared emitters are suitable for water-based coatings and materials such as plastics, glass and textiles, which exhibit high energy absorption in the medium IR wavelength range. Switching to medium-wave carbon infrared emitters can reduce energy consumption; tests indicate up to 30% less energy for drying water-based paints and varnishes compared with conventional short-wave emitters.
