Electric Strip Heater Elements

These heaters are highly suited for many industrial and commercial.

Electric strip heater elements.

If strip heaters are used as a radiant heater they have can have fins to maximize surface area and heat transfer to the air. The strip heaters are available in a wide variety of widths and lengths. Material beneath this layer will not oxidize preventing the wire. Nichrome 80 20 is an ideal material because it has relatively high resistance and forms an adherent layer of chromium oxide when it is heated for the first time.

Strip heaters tank heaters. Copper sheathed zinc plated elements ahelp minimize galvanization that can limit service life while nickel based alloy sheath water heater elements are suited for areas with extremely hard water and high sulfur and lime content. We carry a wide inventory from top flight manufacturers like airquest bard style crest and goodman. An electric heat kit is not a heat pump coil or heat strip but a furnace heating coil that produces heat directly and distributes it through your central air handler.

Tutco is the world s largest supplier of electric resistive heating elements and holds 80 of the us patents in open coil heating technology. Electric heaters and elements strip heaters used in the surface heating of tanks as the heat source in industrial ovens and for heating air or other inert gases. Strip heaters are composed of a heating element a protective sleeve or sheath and mounting hardware. There are many different options for sheath material terminations mounting and electrical ratings.

A fairly inexpensive way of heating surfaces or small areas strip heaters are an excellent solution to meet any budget. Custom manufactured electric heaters and elements for conduction convection or radiant heating applications in industrial processes preconfigured or designed to customer specifications. Depending upon sheath materials the compacted strip can obtain temperatures up to 1500 f 815 c. Backer hotwatt is industry leading manufacturer of electric heating elements since 1952.

Most resistance wire heating elements use nichrome 80 20 80 nickel 20 chromium wire ribbon or strip. They re also great for electric packaged units.
