16-28 I E S LIGHTING HANDBOOK

The deposition of paint or other air-borne solids or drippings on lamp and

reflector reduces the effectiveness of the controlled radiated energy. Peri-
odic cleaning of lamps and of transmitting and reflecting surfaces should be
carried out.
Dehydration
Infrared energy is used to dry or dehydrate hides, sand molds, textiles,
glue, pottery, photonegatives, paper, and a variety of meats and vegetables.
The infrared dehydration rate is affected by material characteristics,
thickness, and air temperature.
