Gas fired Vs Electric fired Infrared heating System

IR radiation is generated using one of three different technologies: electric, gas catalytic, or radiant gas (and radiant gas systems are mainly used for space heating rather than process heating).

Advantages/features	Gas Fired	Electric Fired
Lower-cost energy source	Yes	No
Uses less energy when only surface heating is required	Yes	Yes
Provides well-controlled, low-intensity heat	Yes	Yes
Provides highest-intensity heat	No	Yes
Intensity can be easily adjusted for different products	No	Yes

Electric infrared technology offers more flexibility than gas-catalytic regarding the fancied heating force. Electric and gas-catalytic IR advances have particular qualities that make them pretty much proper relying upon the material and the sort of process. Gas-catalytic IR frameworks by and large oblige a more prominent capital venture than the other two, yet they have lower working costs.

To choose which technology is ideal for a particular item or process, various parameters must be viewed as, including item quality, working costs, and generation rates. In processes that oblige fabric and paper drying, gas-catalytic technology has a marginally predominant heating productivity as a result of the force of the radiation it transmits and the measure of time the item uses in the stove. As a rule, a gas-catalytic IR framework is a decent decision for materials that oblige a considerable measure of vitality, for example, a few materials, in light of the fact that its fuel costs are lower than those of electric IR.

Electric IR is more suited to delicate materials that requires a less-exceptional heat or to processes that need brisk reaction times or shorter blasts of serious radiation from the heating gear

Gas-catalytic IR technology has an altered force thickness that relies on upon the temperature of the fuel-oxygen response; it for the most part does not surpass 2 kilowatts for every square foot (kw/ft2—that is 22 kilowatts for every square meter [kw/m2]). Interestingly, electric IR stoves can rapidly and effectively differ the force of emitted heat while accomplishing force densities of up to 37 kw/ft2 (400 kw/m2)—a trademark that makes them predominant for quickly heating metals.

Both the Methods of IR heater firing holds its advantage and limitation it totally depends on the process that is being needed for.

Different Types of Sterilization Process

Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization: Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, f...

Organic Food and its increasing consumer demand

Organic Food Processing is where organic raw materials are processed into food and drink. The organics standard of food processing is to protect the food constituents so that organic ingredients are used, and encourage the avoidance of unnecessary chemical or physical. Organic labeling offers consumers, the confidence that the eatables they consume are produced under controlled organic standards. Organic food should be of high nutritional and high natural quality. With the growing awareness even the governments of various countries have setup a separate body to monitor the whole Organic Processing System, in India that being National Program for Organic Production (NPOP). India is one of the upcoming leading processors in this sector. Some private standards demand that organic food should fulfill the criteria of wholesome nutrition, where processing methods must be seen as relevant tools. Most processing methods have more or less strong influences on product properties. Heat...

Importance of Granulation Techniques and Technologies

Granulation, the method of particle enlargement by agglomeration technique, is one among the most vital unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical dosage forms, largely tablets and capsules. Granulation method transforms fine powders into free-flowing, dust-free granules that are simple to compress. Nonetheless, granulation poses various challenges because of top quality demand of the formed granules in terms of content uniformity and physicochemical properties like granule size, bulk density, porosity, hardness, moisture, compressibility, etc. beside physical and chemical stability of the drug. Granulation method may be divided into 2 types: wet granulation that utilize a liquid within the method and dry granulation that needs no liquid. The kind of method choice needs thorough information of physicochemical properties of the drug, excipients, and needed flow and release properties, to name some. Among presently available technologies, spray drying, roller...
