REFLECTOR ARRANGEMENT AND HALOGEN LAMP HEATING SYSTEM

Reflector arrangement of a halogen heating system which comprises a plurality of elongated halogen lamp emitters grouped in parallel, the radiation being reflected to one side of the emitter group by means of a metal reflector arranged on the other side of the emitter group. The reflector arrangement comprises a concave water-cooled or air-cooled reflector carrier having guiding strips and an exchangeable reflector element that is inserted into the reflector carrier and can be exchanged, the reflector carrier and the exchangeable reflector element being designed such that when the system is operated the heating up of the exchangeable reflector element and the resulting expansion and constraining effect on expansion caused by the guiding strips lead to a positive locking and a heat-conducting contact with the concave reflector carrier, thereby carrying off heat from the exchangeable reflector element to the reflector carrier, while there is no positive locking when the system is switched off and the exchangeable reflector element can be quickly exchanged.
