Twin Tube Wave Infrared Emitters
Twin-tube shortwave infrared emitters, made in Chennai. A tungsten filament in each channel of the twin tube runs at a colour temperature of 2,400–2,500 K and emits infrared between about 1 and 2 µm, with a response time of around 1–2 seconds. The rear side can carry a gold or ceramic reflector. Emitters are made in the 11 × 23 mm cross-section with overall lengths up to 3 m, for vertical or horizontal mounting, and with various filament designs. Average working life is about 5,000 hours. To order a replacement, send the overall length, heated length, wattage, voltage and cross-section, or the old lamp.
