ABSTRACT:
Conventional infrared, spot reflector lamps are modified by removing portions of the reflector to form reflector edges and then placing the reflector edges next to each other to form an array of lamps with a wide variety of configurations. The combined lamps are particularly effective when the filaments of each lamp are oriented in the same direction as that of a desired heating line. Maximum energy flux density is achieved by positioning the lamps at a distance of about twice the focal length of the uncut, spot-focused lamps. By removing segments from the reflectors to form edges that define planes that are parallel to or intersect with each other, various shaped reflectors are formed that are used to assemble arrays that provide uniform heating lines of various shapes.
