ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10,80,150) for heating an object with black body infrared radiation. The apparatus (10,80,150) comprises a radiation source (42,96,158) for generating black body infrared radiation and a honeycomb stagnating element (48,132,160) for preventing transmission of heat by convection from the radiation source (42,96,158). Also various methods for using the apparatus (10,80,150) are disclosed.
