Hi All,
I want to perform a temperature rise test on an outdoor electrical enclosure (stainless steel)
The test will be indoors in a room with no air flow. I would like to simulate the solar radiation (to our rating of 1100W/m2) by using a heat lamp (the sort that is used in the bathroom).
The questions I have are:
- Is a heat lamp a suitable method of simulating solar radiation or are there better options?
- What is the efficiency of a heat lamp. (ie: if I need 200W of heat, what size heat lamp would I require)
- What is the throw angle of these lamps? Is it included in the manufacturers specification?
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Hank.
