| Maximum Operating (Sheath) Temperature | Maximum operating (sheath) temperature is the highest temperature that the heater's sheath (or protective cover) may reach. This is not the maximum temperature a heated substance may reach. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| Maximum Air Temperature | The maximum temperature of air exiting from the heater. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
Maximum Air Flow

|
|
| ||
| Maximum Air Flow | The maximum flow of air through the heater. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
Heating Capacity
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Heating Capacity | Heating capacity is the wattage which the heater can deliver. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Power Requirement

|
|
| ||
| Phase: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Single Phase | Heaters use single-phase power. | ||
| Three Phase | Heaters use three-phase power. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| AC Voltage Required | Heaters require AC voltage. Most heaters use AC voltage instead of DC voltage. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Watt Density | The maximum watt density that the heater can deliver. Watt density is a good measure of how quickly the heater can transfer heat to a heated surface. To calculate watt density, suppliers divide the available wattage by the heated surface area. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Insulation
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Insulation Options | Heater insulation reduces heat loss to the environment. Some heaters may be available with multiple insulation options. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| No Insulation | Heaters do not have insulation. They have a lower profile and are useful in areas where space is at a premium, but are not particularly energy efficient. | ||
| Ceramic Insulation | Heaters have ceramic insulation. Ceramics consist of nonmetallic minerals, such as clay, that are permanently hardened by high-temperature firing. Most ceramics resist heat and chemicals. | ||
| Magnesium Oxide | Heaters have magnesium oxide insulation. | ||
| Mica Insulation | Heaters have mica insulation. Mica consists of colored or transparent mineral silicates that are crystallized in monoclinic forms and readily separated into very thin leaves. Mica is valued for its electrical insulating properties and resistance to heat and acids. | ||
| Mineral Insulation | Heaters have mineral insulation. | ||
| Fluoropolymer (Teflon®) | Heaters have fluropolymer insulation made of materials such as Teflon® (DuPont). | ||
| Fiberglass Insulation | Heaters have fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures. Fiberglass fabrics are used widely in industry. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary insulation options. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
RoHS / WEEE Compliance
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| RoHS Compliant | Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| WEEE Compliant | Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) is a European Union (EU) directive designed to encourage the reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical and electronic equipment. WEEE is also designed to improve the environmental impact and performance of this equipment. The WEEE directive establishes requirements and criteria for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of electrical and electronic equipment. It also makes producers responsible for financing these activities. Retailers and distributors must provide a way for consumers to return used or obsolete equipment without charge. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
Features
