Maximum Temperature
Back to Top
|
| ||
| 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. | ||

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 | Heaters have fluoropolymer 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. | ||

Fuel / Energy Source
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Electric | Electricity is the primary power source. | ||
| Diesel / Fuel Oil / Gasoline / Kerosene | The primary power source burns or generates power from fuel oil, diesel, gasoline, or kerosene. | ||
| Hot Water / Steam | Circulating steam or hot water is the primary heat source. | ||
| Natural Gas / Propane | Natural gas or propane is the primary power source. | ||
| Solar | The primary power source captures and uses solar heat. | ||
| Waste Oil | Waste oils are salvaged from internal combustion engines, hydraulics, lubricants, cooking processes, and other applications. | ||
| Wood / Pellet | The primary power source burns wood, wood pellets, or other combustible solid products. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary fuel or energy sources. | ||
| 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. | ||

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. | ||
