Definitions

  • the invention relates to an infrared radiator with a heat conductor arranged in a cladding tube made of quartz glass or quartz material and a metallic reflection layer applied to the back of the cladding tube, and a method for its production.
  • Infrared emitters the heating conductors of which are surrounded by a cladding tube made of quartz glass or quartz material, are known, for example, from German patents 1,540,818 and 38,41,448.
  • the cladding tube can be provided on its back with a reflective layer made of metal, for example aluminum or gold.
  • Infrared emitters of this type are also described in the brochures of Heraeus Quarzschmelze GmbH "Short-wave infrared emitters made from Hanau quartz glass” (PIR-B 20) and “Medium-wave twin-tube infrared emitters” (PIR-B 10).
  • German patent specification 26 37 338 One possibility of avoiding the destruction of the reflection layer of an infrared radiator is known from German patent specification 26 37 338.
  • the infrared radiator has a cooling tube through which a coolant flows.
  • the reflective layer is located on the cooling tube and is thus protected from being destroyed by evaporation.
  • the infrared radiator which is the solution to the problem is characterized according to the invention in that the reflection layer is provided with a protective coating of zirconium dioxide, silicon dioxide, tin dioxide or a mixture of at least two of these oxides.
  • the infrared heater has proven itself when the thickness of the protective coating is 0.05 - 3 micrometers.
  • the protective coating with a thickness of 0.1-0.3 micrometers is preferred.
  • the protective coating can also consist of a mixture of two or all three of these oxides. If an oxide mixture forms the protective coating, the amount of the individual oxides can be chosen as desired.
  • the protective coating made of zirconium dioxide has proven particularly useful because it not only increases the thermal resistance of the reflective layer, but also has other advantageous properties, such as very good adhesive strength.
  • the protective coating is suitable for all metallic reflective layers applied to the cladding tube of infrared radiators. It has proven particularly effective on reflection layers consisting of gold, palladium, platinum, gold / palladium or gold / platinum.
  • the reflector effect of the reflection layers provided with the protective coating according to the invention is significantly better than that of the reflection layers without a protective coating.
  • the unprotected reflective layers are partially destroyed and the metal that is still present is no longer in the form of a coherent layer.
  • the infrared radiator according to the invention can advantageously also be used for drying goods containing solvents, since its reflective layer is also protected against solvent vapors by the coating. At the same time, the mechanical resistance is also improved, so that the reflection layer is not so easily damaged when handling the radiator.
  • the method for producing the infrared radiator provided with a protected reflection layer on the cladding tube according to the invention is characterized in that a thermally decomposable organic zirconium, silicon or tin compound or a mixture of at least two of these compounds is applied to the reflection layer and at 600 - 950 ° C is baked.
  • the application and stoving are preferably repeated one or more times because the tightness of the protective coating and thus the thermal resistance of the metallic reflective layer can be increased.
  • Suitable thermally decomposable organic zirconium, silicon and tin compounds which are converted into the corresponding oxide when baked are, for example, alcoholates, complexes with aliphatic diketones such as acetylacetone, resinates and salts of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids.
  • the resinates and salts of octanoic acid and, as silicon compounds, also silicone resins are preferred.
  • thermally decomposable organic zirconium, silicon and tin compounds are preferably used together with an organic carrier which burns or vaporizes completely during baking and in which the compounds are soluble.
  • the organic carrier is known per se and consists of organic solvents, essential oils, resins and the like. Examples of these are methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, cellosolve (ethylene glycol ether), butanol, nitrobenzene, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, various terpenes, such as pinene, dipentene, dipentene oxide and the like, essential oils, lavender oil, rosemary oils, such as rosemary oils, such as rose oil, rosemary oils, such as lavender oils, Anise oil, sassafras oil, wintergreen oil, fennel oil and turpentine oil, Assyrian asphalt, various pine resins and balms as well as synthetic resins and mixtures thereof (see German patent specification 12 86 866).
  • the solutions of organic carrier and zirconium, silicon and / or tin compounds are applied to the reflective layer, for example by printing, rolling, spraying, brushing or coating with a sponge.
  • an infrared radiator with a protected metallic reflection layer according to the invention can be produced in a simple manner and without great expenditure on equipment. Since the zirconium, silicon and tin compounds used in the process and the organic carrier do not react with the metal of the reflection layer during baking, the properties of the metal which are important for the reflector effect are not impaired by the application of the protective coating.
  • the protective coatings obtained by baking are evenly dense and thick and adhere well to the reflective layer.
  • a solution is applied to the gold layer of a quartz glass cladding tube section which is gold-plated on the outside on one side 70.6 g zirconium octanoate solution in white spirit, 8.5% Zr, and 29.4 g of turpentine oil brushed on and baked at 800 ° C for 15 minutes.
  • the thickness of the protective coating thus produced is approximately 0.15 micrometers.
  • a solution containing 6% Si is poured onto the gold layer of a quartz glass cladding tube section which is gold-plated on the outside on one side 26.0 g silicone resin, 23% Si, and 74 g pine oil sprayed on and baked at 800 ° C for 15 minutes.
  • the thickness of the protective coating produced in this way is approximately 0.1 micrometer.
  • a solution is applied to the gold layer of a quartz glass cladding tube section which is gold-plated on the outside on one side 14.8 g tin octanoate, 27% Sn, 12.0 g of Dammar resin and 70.2 g pine oil brushed on and baked at 800 ° C for 15 minutes.
  • the thickness of the protective coating produced in this way is approximately 0.1 micrometer.
  • the partially gold-plated cladding tube sections provided with a protective coating according to the examples and - for comparison - correspondingly partially gold-plated, but without protective coating cladding tube sections are exposed to a temperature of 1000 ° C. for 4 hours and then visually checked.
  • the cladding tube sections provided with the protective coating according to the invention show a more closed and denser gold layer than the cladding tube sections without a protective coating.
  • a reflective layer made of gold, short-wave infrared radiators and medium-wave twin-tube infrared radiators made of Hanau quartz glass are, as described in the examples, provided with a protective coating made of zirconium dioxide, silicon dioxide or tin dioxide.
  • a protective coating made of zirconium dioxide, silicon dioxide or tin dioxide.
