Air Heaters

Air heaters are devices used to heat air.  They include forced air products as well as all types of radiant and space heaters.

Cartridge Heaters

Cartridge heaters are cylindrical devices generally inserted into a heated substance.

Circulation Heaters

Circulation heaters are used primarily to heat moving, flowing, or circulating fluid streams. Fluid flows through the heater, which transfers heat to the fluid stream. Any liquid or gas is generally acceptable for use with a circulation heater.

Coil Heaters

Coil heaters and cable heaters are heating elements formed from straight (uncoiled) segments of round or square heating cable.

Crucibles

Crucibles are vessels used to melt and process materials at high temperatures.

Drum Heaters

Drum heaters are used to heat containers of viscous materials. They can be wrapped around or placed inside containers that hold substances such as wax or grease.

Duct Heaters

Duct heaters are used to heat moving gas streams.

Electric Heaters

Electric heaters generate heat by passing an electric current through a high-resistance material.

Explosion Proof Heaters

Explosion proof heaters are constructed with housings that can withstand explosions, protecting the materials being heated.  This classification may also include housings, which can withstand sparking and flames.

Flexible Heaters

Flexible heaters are devices that can be molded to the shape of a heated object.

Heat Tracing

Trace line heaters are flexible, insulated cables that are heated with electricity or re-circulated fluids. They are used to prevent liquids in pipes from freezing, or to reduce heat loss in piping. 

Immersion Heaters

Immersion heaters are used in applications that require immersing the heater in the substance to be heated.

Industrial Heaters

This is a general search form for all types of industrial heaters, devices which are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and heating configurations.

Resistive Heating Elements

Resistive heating elements generate heat by the phenomena of joule heating. As an electrical current passes through the element heat is generated due to the resistive nature of the elements design. Resistive heating elements are either composed of metallic alloys, ceramic materials, or ceramic metals.

Water Heaters

Water heaters are gas, oil or electric-fired devices used to heat water for residential and commercial use.
