Power Requirements and Output
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| AC Voltage Required | Represents the AC Voltage necessary to operate the heater. Most, if not all, heaters will operate on AC Voltage rather than 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. | ||
| |||
| kWatts | Represents the wattage the heater is capable of delivering. | ||
| 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 | Represents the maximum watt density the heater is capable of delivering. Watt density is calculated by dividing the available wattage by the heated surface area. Watt density is a good measure of how quickly the heater can transfer heat to a heated surface. | ||
| 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. | ||
| |||
| Heated Length: | Heated length of band, cartridge, ceramic fiber, strip, immersion, over-the-side, radiant flat or flexible heater and height of duct heater. | ||
| 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. | ||

Sleeve (Sheath) Material
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Sleeve (Sheath) Material | Most heater types will have a protective sheath that covers the heating elements. Many heaters will be available with many choices of sheath material. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| None | Containers will fit into a cabinet or tunnel and do not have a sleeve that fits over the container. | ||
| Aluminum | Aluminum heater sheath. A bluish silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Brass | Brass heater sheath. Brass comes with good strength, excellent high temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and low magnetic permeability. | ||
| Copper | Copper heater sheath. A common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. | ||
| Fluoropolymer | Teflon® refers to a class of fluoropolymer resins used for a wide variety of commercial applications. They are highly-resistant to temperature, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress-cracking. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers. | ||
| HT Foil (Ceramic Foil) | Heater sheath constructed from HT foil. | ||
| Iron | Iron heater sheath. A heavy malleable ductile magnetic silver-white metallic element. | ||
| Nickel Alloy | Nickel alloy heater sheath. Will vary per application, as nickel is a constituent of many alloys. | ||
| Polyimide | Heater sheath constructed from Kapton. | ||
| Rubber | Rubber heater sheath. Rubber can include: natural rubber materials, silicone, styrene butadiene (SBR), or synthetic rubber materials. | ||
| Stainless Steel | Stainless steel heater sheath. Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high-pressure ratings. | ||
| Steel | Steel heater sheath. A commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content. | ||
| Synthetic Rubber | Heater sheath constructed from neoprene. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary sleeve or sheath material | ||
