Which one is more suitable for food insulation, infrared carbon fiber heating tube or halogen infrared heating tube?
Infrared carbon fiber heating tube and halogen infrared heating tube have their own advantages in food insulation. The following is a comparison of them:
1. Heating efficiency
Infrared carbon fiber heating tube
The carbon fiber heating tube has a fast thermal response speed, can reach the working temperature in a short time and start to release heat, so that the food heats up quickly. Its electrothermal conversion efficiency can be as high as 95% or more, and it can convert most of the electrical energy into infrared radiation energy. During the food insulation process, it consumes relatively less electrical energy to maintain the temperature of the food.
For example, in the food insulation scene of a restaurant buffet, the use of infrared carbon fiber heating tubes can quickly make the newly added food reach the appropriate insulation temperature, and the energy consumption is low during the long-term insulation process.
Halogen infrared heating tube
The thermal efficiency is also relatively high. The light radiation heating method does not need to heat the air first, and can directly heat the food. It can convert about 95% of the electrical energy into thermal energy, and the heating speed is also relatively fast. After turning it on, the food temperature can rise in a short time.
For example, in a small bento store, halogen infrared heating tubes can quickly heat food just taken out of the refrigerated environment to achieve effective heat preservation.
2. Temperature control
Infrared carbon fiber heating tubes
Carbon fiber heating tubes have low thermal inertia and are sensitive to temperature changes. With the temperature controller, the output power can be accurately adjusted to control the temperature within a very precise range, which helps to keep the food at the optimal insulation temperature, such as accurately maintaining the temperature of hot soup at 60-70℃.
In the temporary storage link of some food processing plants that have strict requirements on food insulation temperature, this precise temperature control can better ensure product quality.
Halogen infrared heating tubes
It can also achieve relatively precise temperature control. By adjusting the power or using a suitable temperature control system, it can stably maintain the temperature required for food insulation. However, in comparison, its thermal inertia is slightly larger.
In environments such as home kitchens, the use of halogen infrared heating tubes can also meet basic food insulation temperature control needs, such as keeping the temperature of dishes at around 40-50℃.
