Description

Infrared heat transfer is a non-mechanical (quiet) and non-contact means of transferring large quantities of heat energy to a target at the speed of light. This paper discusses infrared technology as it relates to practical heating, drying, and curing applications that are encountered every day in wire and cable processing. It examines infrared theory, looks at the types of infrared equipment available for industrial heat processing applications, and illustrates a few infrared applications in wire and cable processing.
