Note thermocouple wires running to the car. The thermocouples are embedded on ‘black bodies’ to sense the heat output of the lights and automatically control them. In this case, the temperature was set to 75°C. The conditioned air coming from the back of the chamber is set to room temperature at the same time.
Over 880 infrared lights are being used in seven different control zones.
