HEATER FOR BENCH FOR THERMAL AND RATIO TESTS OF RADIOPARENT FAIRINGS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC H05B3/20 F24C15/24 

FIELD: test equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to stand equipment for testing radio-transparent fairings (RTF). Heater contains frame (1) carrying heating panels (3) with tubular infrared lamps (4) located around test cone (5) with antenna installed in it (6). Panels are arranged in several rows outside region of radiation of antenna. Panels of front rows, heating nose RTF, are mounted further from fairing, than panels of previous rows. Said panels have more lamps, are provided with lamps air cooling manifolds to provide their power boosting. To prevent ingress of cooling air on RTF, deflectors are arranged on panel. To prevent scattering of panels radiation arranged at greater distance from RTF, radiotransparent concentrating screens with coating with high reflection coefficient are mounted on them.

EFFECT: heater provides continuous controlled high-temperature heating at preset mode and enables continuously during testing of measuring radio characteristics RTF, which increases measurement accuracy.
