<p>A photoemission radiant heater includes a chamber (4) having an interior reflective surface, a first end and a second end; a means for generating photons (1) within the chamber wherein photons are reflected off the interior reflective surface of the chamber (4), a black body means (3) having a portion thereof located in a position to absorb radiant energy from within the reflective chamber; means (6) for blowing air over the black body means (3) wherein heat is transferred from the black body means (3) to the air. A means for concentrating photons such as a lens (2) or convex reflective shield may be included within the chamber (4) and the black body means (3) may be located either within the core of the chamber (4), or at a first end of the chamber where it may or may not contain a plurality of members which extend out of the chamber axially along the length of the chamber. Air is blown over the black body means (3) to absorb energy therefrom.</p> |
