Multi-Zone Infrared Supports Large Composite Debulking

APPLICATION CONCEPT  |  AEROSPACE COMPOSITES

CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL INFRARED HEATING

PUBLIC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Heat complex vacuum-bagged layups
uniformly across a large structure.

A custom infrared frame combines three heating sections, each divided into seven controllable zones, above the vacuum-bagged structure.

465 kW REFERENCE SYSTEM POWER

Reference data subject to application testing and specification review.

Multi-Zone Infrared Supports Large Composite Debulking industry application

The Process Challenge

Complex composite layups can trap air, volatiles or excess resin between plies. Large curved structures require controlled, uniform heat during vacuum debulking.

The Infrared Approach

A custom infrared frame combines three heating sections, each divided into seven controllable zones, above the vacuum-bagged structure.

1

LAYUP

Build the laminate

2

BAG

Apply vacuum

3

IR HEAT

Debulk in stages

4

INSPECT

Verify surface quality

Application Features

  • Large-area layout for curved aerospace structures
  • Many zones compensate for geometry and heat loss
  • Vacuum and heating stages can be sequenced
  • Non-contact system preserves bag access
  • Temperature mapping supports process qualification

Typical Configuration

REFERENCE SCALE

465 kW system

ZONING

Three sections; seven zones per section

EMITTER

Custom infrared heating system

CONTROL

Vacuum sequence, zone power and sensors

CUSTOM DESIGN

Structure contour, height and thermal map

CONFIRM

Prepreg, layup, bag, cycle and quality plan

APPLICATION NOTE

Public case-study configuration reference - not a YFR performance claim. Final ratings and results require YFR sample testing and engineering confirmation.
