Anderson Thermal Devices, Inc. of Hawthorne, New Jersey introduces shortwave omega shaped infrared halogen lamps to its current line of "C", "U", ATD Mini, coiled and custom engineered heating lamps. The omega shaped lamp lends itself to specific laboratory, medical, pharmaceutical, university research and scientific applications. The omega shaped infrared lamps are typically used for heating vessels such as medical vials, scientific beakers and test tubes. Applications include sterilization, baking, heating and boiling. Omega shaped lamps are designed for use in a horizontal orientation. Typical sizes vary from 51mm-305mm (2"- 12") outer diameters. Maximum temperature is 2400°C (4350°F). Lamp life expectancy is approximately 5000 hours. The main benefit of the omega shaped lamp is it heats up to a high temperature uniformly and quickly- saving obvious time for the researcher. Other typical applications for omega shaped lamps on factory manufacturing lines include the joining of plastic parts, forming and bending of metal rods, wires and tubes, drawing of plastic fibers and annealing of plastic tubing. The "C" lamp is similar to standard T3 shortwave lamps except the seals on the "C" Style lamps are outside of the heated area. This design feature results in easy to cool end seals for longer lamp life. Gold and ceramic reflective coatings are available as an option to make them unidirectional. "U" lamps are available in both medium and shortwave. Like the "C" lamp, the "U" lamps’ design allows for the sealed end on the shortwave to be outside the heated zone which extends lamp life expectancy. The long legs of the "U" make it an exceptional choice for use in a heated vacuum chamber where the ceramic end caps and the metal wires and connections must be outside the chamber. Shaped lamps have similar design features as standard tubular lamps: clear quartz, ceramic and gold reflective coatings on 180° of the lamps’ circumference are available. Reflective coatings focus the lamps’ infrared energy in the direction where it is needed. Anderson Thermal Devices now offers customers custom designed lamps configured into many shapes for any special application. Anderson Thermal Devices added several new web pages to highlight the omega shaped lamps. New photographs showing the shaped infrared lamps are presented. In addition to the omega shaped lamps, "C", "U", coiled and ATD Mini lamps are pictured. Since 1995, Anderson Thermal Devices has been a one stop shop for Excellence In Infrared Components. They specialize in shortwave and medium wave infrared solutions for the process heating industry. The company serves university research facilities, pharmaceutical and scientific laboratories, manufacturers and OEM markets worldwide. Most infrared quartz heaters, emitters, specialty infrared lamps and infrared heaters (panels and cassettes) offered by ATD are made in their Hawthorne, New Jersey factory. Anderson Thermal Devices offers hands on engineering expertise. They provide direct replacement lamps for all major manufacturers. A replacement IR lamp chart by part number, size, watts, voltage and base is on the Anderson Thermal Devices’ web site.
