Description
Infrared burner IRB 2 is an adjustable laboratory heating device intended for processing larger sample quantities under open infrared radiation. The base unit includes an integrated power controller and is delivered with a support cross that stabilises vessels on the heating zone. Maximum operating temperature reaches 900 °C, while heating power is rated at 800 W over a heating surface of 100 x 100 mm. A stepless power regulator permits continuous adjustment of current draw between 0 and 100 %, enabling fine control of thermal intensity for different sample loads. Maximum ambient temperature during use is specified as 30 °C. The electrical connection is 230 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with a 115 V version available on request. External dimensions measure 150 x 150 x 170 mm (W x D x H) and net weight is 2,5 kg. This infrared burner from manufacturer Bühler is suited to sample preparation, drying steps and thermal treatment workflows that benefit from direct infrared heating rather than enclosed ovens. Its compact footprint occupies limited bench space, and the controllable output supports reproducible heating of larger batches in research and industrial laboratories requiring flexible open-flame-free heat sources.

Questions about Infrared Heater IRB 2
What is this article?
Infrared Heater IRB 2 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bühler for laboratory use. It sits in Bunsen & gas burners, inside Heating, drying & cooling, in Lab instruments.
A Bunsen or gas burner is an open flame for quick heating, for flaming a loop, or for bending glass. The gas, natural gas or cartridge, has to match the burner. It is the wrong heat for a flammable solvent.
Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
