Section 2 – FEATURES & BENEFITS
The design and functionality of the Model 6020 supplies a variety of features and related
benefits:
Rapid Response – The medium-wave quartz halogen lamps heat up and cool down
instantly in response to power control signals.
Continuous Operation – The aluminum construction of the Model 6020 combined with
the air-cooling, allows the heater to withstand continuous high-temperature operation.
Modular Design – The modular design of the heater allows units to be installed in a
variety of configurations suitable for many applications.
Electrically Enclosed Heater Module – All electrical connections for the Model 6020
are completely enclosed for safety.
Target Product Sizes – The Model 6020 generates radiant energy and directs it into a
band approximately 10 inches (254 mm) long and 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 inches (13, 25, or 51
mm) wide. See the schematic below for reflector options.
Heat Flux Density – Heat flux densities up to approximately 400 watts per square-inch
(62 watts per square-cm) can be achieved with the Model 6020 with the 0.5 inch width,
operating at the lamp’s rated voltage. Heat flux density is a product of the lamp type,
applied voltage, and distance between the lamp and the target surface. For best results, it
is recommended that the Model 6020 be operated at a distance of 1.0 inch from the
product.
Controllable Energy Output – The infrared energy emitted from the heater can be
adjusted to match the heating requirements of a variety of applications.
The Model 6020 ordered with the ‘PC’ option is a complete heating solution designed
with a number of features including heater on/off control switching, potentiometer local
control, and a timer. Figure 2-1. Model 6020 Reflector Options
