Infrared heating is the considered method here. IR-emitter arrangement in the reflective heating chamber, their geometry and the dwell time of the components are crucial for a successful and efficient process. Process optimization has to consider the optical parameter variation of the powder coating during the procedure. Measurements in the NAPUBEST prototype are compared with optical simulations of the setup to get the simulation parameters in agreement with reality and to provide a foundation for the layout of industrial processes.}, subject = {Pulverlack}, language = {en} } @misc{StanikDoehringReesetal.2025, author = {Stanik, Eva and D{\"o}hring, Thorsten and Rees, Paul and Kroneberger, Monika and Stanik, Martin}, title = {Infrared heating for a sustainable powder coating technology}, volume = {2025}, publisher = {DGaO}, organization = {TH Aschaffenburg}, pages = {1 -- 1}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The recent energy crisis revealed the dependence of many manufacturing companies on fossil fuels Industrial processes need to be transformed into sustainable alternatives For powder coatings, which traditionally rely on gas or oil heating systems, infrared radiation can deliver the required process heat The strong dependence of the IR absorption on the geometry of the irradiated parts as well as on the color and sort of the coating powder has to be considered before the implementation of this innovative heating The aim of the NAPUBEST project (German abbreviation for Nachhaltige Pulverbeschichtungs Technologie which means "Sustainable Powder Coating Technology") is to get a better understanding of these correlations In our laboratory, we realized a prototype of an IR oven for test measurements The high reflectivity of silver coated reflector sheets facilitates the concentration of infrared radiation inside the oven. On the other hand, the absorption of powder coated samples in different paint colors has an impact on the heating efficiency First tests of the equipment and measurements of the angular dependence of the reflectivity of various coated samples are presented.}, subject = {Infrarotheizung}, language = {en} }
