On the contrary..... the black shield absorbs radiation from the tubes.
The air flow across the black shield removes the heat.  The more  
square inches of absorption material, the better.  The Heath fan  
"needs" to pull air out of the back instead of pushing the tube heat  
into the enclosure, but that's another future project.
