The experimental was set up to determine the radiant distribution using IR energy, shown in Figure (a). The IR dryer with overall dimensions of 1.20 m (L) x 0.90 m (B) x 1.20 m (H), gas-fired radiator (0.15 x 0.55m, medium to far infrared radiation wavelength) was mounted on a construction that could be moved up and down for adjusting the distance between the emitter and the radiation absorbing surface.
