IR2000 Internal Bakeout Heater

The IR2000 delivers a highly efficient, internal bakeout solution for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers. Developed as a direct replacement for bulky external ovens and adhesive heater tapes, it uses small, high-power quartz infrared lamps mounted inside the vacuum chamber itself. This design captures 100% of the radiant heat and directs it precisely where needed, dramatically shortening bakeout times and accelerating the path to low base pressures.

Each lamp is securely mounted on its own standard 2-3/4″ (CF38) ConFlat flange for straightforward integration into any UHV chamber. The IR2000 system employs two separately mounted 600 W quartz lamps, paired with the dedicated IR-2000 Power Supply and rack-mount control unit (115 VAC, 60 Hz, 1200 W total with dual bulbs). Heater dimensions are compact (approximately 1.5″ diameter × 5.4″ long), and the lamps are rated for approximately 180 hours of service under normal conditions.

Key benefits include:

• Rapid heating — e.g., >260°C at 6″ distance within 3 minutes (in 10⁻⁸ torr vacuum at full power)
• Reduced energy waste and faster pump-down cycles compared to external methods
• Minimal outgassing contribution from the heaters themselves
• Full UHV compatibility with 304 stainless steel flanges and OFHC copper components
• Easy installation and operation with built-in timer (1–12 hours) and power control

Custom heater arrays and configurations are available to meet specific chamber requirements. The IR2000 is ideal for surface science, thin-film deposition, materials research, and any application where quick, reliable chamber outgassing is essential.

Note on use: Lamps are shipped demounted to prevent damage. Avoid touching the quartz glass during installation, and exercise caution when the chamber is hot after extended operation. See the IR-2000 Power Supply page for complete setup instructions and temperature data.
