An
efficient heat source for many industrial and commercial applications,
the Black Body and Chameleon Ceramic Infrared Heater is available in an
array of sizes and modules. Underwriter's Laboratories component
recognition is available on many of the items shown. Parabolic or flat
profiles, square, rectangular or round shapes, mounted in housings or
panels, Black Body and Chameleon Ceramic Heaters can easily be installed
and arranged to produce heat patterns limited only by the imagination of
the designer.

The maximum efficiency of the
Black Body Ceramic Infrared Heater converts almost every watt of applied
energy into radiant energy. Convection losses are minimal. Sheath
temperatures can be controlled and the process can be zoned with a
built-in thermocouple. The wavelength can be matched to specific
absorption characteristics of the material being heated. Heat losses and
changes in process requirements can also be compensated for.

Black Body
Ceramic Infrared Heater with Holes 5/16" (8mm) holes throughout surface is
practical for radiant heating applications with cooling requirements or
where a 8-7/8" x 12-1/8" (225mm x 308mm) combination
radiant/convective heat source is needed. Air blown through the surface
would provide cooling or convection heat transfer. 4" ceramic
insulated lead wires are provided. The standard rating is 1500W, 240V,
at 14 watts/square inch.
CHAMELEON™ CERAMIC INFRARED HEATERS
Ogden
Chameleon Ceramic Infrared Heaters are available in many of the standard
sizes and ratings as Ogden Black
Body Ceramic Heaters. The feature is a unique coloring that changes
from yellow to brown when processing temperature ranges are reached.
This provides a visual indication that a heater is operating. In large
radiant panels or ovens, where hundreds of heaters might be installed,
it is possible to determine items not working by the color of each
element. If an item has returned to the original yellow color,
replacement is necessary. A-1 Chameleon elements can be mounted in any
of the "A" Series housings, or can be used in custom panels.
