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...

Electromagnetic Energy in Food Processing

The use of electromagnetic energy in food processing is considered with respect to food safety, nutritional quality, and organoleptic quality. The results of nonionizing radiation sources such as microwave and radio-frequency energy and ionizing radiate on sources. Nonionizing microwave energy sources are more and more used in home and industrial food processing and are well-accepted by the end users. But, even though new-fangled Food and Drug Administration approval of low and intermediate ionizing radiation dose levels for grains and further plants products. Microwave and radio frequency energy are allotments of the electromagnetic spectrum that can redeem heat to foods selectively and systematically. Explicitly, microwaves interrelate with water in foods to heat preponderant those allotments that are wet. End users are usual with microwave ovens as household appliances used to warm and cook foods, defrost frozen foods, and pop popcorn. On an industrial scale,...

Importance and applications of Industrial Minerals

Industrial resources (minerals) are geological materials that are mined for their industrial worth, that are not fuel (fuel minerals or mineral fuels) and aren’t sources of metals (metallic minerals) but are utilized in the industries based on their physical and/or chemical properties. they’re utilized in their natural state or after beneficiation either as raw materials or as additives in a very wide range of applications. Industrial minerals could also be defined as minerals mined and processed (either from natural sources or synthetically processed) for the value of their non-metallurgical properties, that provides for their use in a particularly wide range of industrial and domestic applications. As a general rule, they’ll also be defined as being non-metallic, non-fuel minerals. Obvious examples of naturally occurring industrial minerals include: clays sand talc limestone gypsum pumice potash Other examples of natural industrial minerals include...
