How to Install Carbon Fiber Heating Tubes to Fully Cover the Baking Area?
What is the ideal spacing between heating tubes to ensure both temperature uniformity and cost-effectiveness?
Consider the Edge Effect of Heating Tubes
First, it’s essential to consider the edge effect of the heating tubes. When designing the heating system, ensure that the infrared radiation area is larger than the object being heated. Simply put, the heating area of the tube should be larger than the surface area of the object being heated. Otherwise, the heating effect will be diminished. However, if you are only concerned with the ambient temperature and not the effect of the infrared radiation on baking, then you don’t need to consider the size of the heated object. In this case, you should only focus on the speed of temperature rise and the final temperature of the space. For more detailed information, refer to the application of carbon fiber infrared heating tubes in paint booths and the power requirements for carbon fiber heating tube drying rooms. You can also refer to the simple calculation method for the thermal power of drying rooms.
Adjusting the Distance and Spacing for Even Heating
Secondly, it is crucial to adjust the relationship between the distance from the radiator to the heated object and the spacing between the radiators. This will ensure that the object is evenly heated. The optimal distance for using carbon fiber heating tubes is between 2 cm and 6 cm. That is, the gap between the heated object and the heating tube should vary depending on the required temperature. The higher the required temperature, the closer the object should be to the heating tube, and vice versa. It is important to validate the required gap based on actual needs. Do not blindly shorten the distance to increase temperature, as this could lead to uneven heating, where one part dries while another remains wet.
Determining the Proper Spacing Between Heating Tubes
What is the appropriate spacing between heating tubes? A smaller spacing increases the temperature, but in a given space, the number of heating tubes will also need to increase accordingly. How can we achieve uniform heating with the minimum number of heating tubes? This presents a dilemma that requires detailed mathematical calculations and spatial distribution analysis. This is why every industry has its professionals; designing and installation experience are critical. If you have high requirements for your drying room, do not design it yourself on a whim. Otherwise, the cost will not just be a small expense, but a loss of time as well. Money can be earned back, but time, once lost, is gone forever.
