Infrared emitter

Infrared emitters can heat a variety of materials. Heating by radiation has the advantage that no contact between the object and the thermal source is required. For example, infrared radiation is used in practice to heat plastic films for the thermal forming process. Heating by radiation can also be used in vacuum.

A disadvantage of heat transfer by infrared radiation is the fact that a relatively high temperature of the thermal source is required and that the material to be heated must absorb the infrared radiation, i.e. it must not be metallically bare.
