- Product Details
Tubular Heater
A tubular heater is a widely used heating element that consists of a metal tube encasing a heating element. It's known for its versatility, efficiency, and durability in various heating applications.
Construction and Components:
Metal Tube:
Material: Typically made from high-grade metals like stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure longevity and withstand high temperatures.
Purpose: Acts as a protective sheath for the heating element inside, providing structural integrity and resistance to environmental factors.
Heating Element:
Material: Usually constructed from high-resistance alloys such as nickel-chromium (nichrome) or iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl).
Function: Converts electrical energy into heat through electrical resistance.
Insulation:
Material: Often includes magnesium oxide or other insulating materials packed inside the tube to improve heat transfer and prevent energy loss.
Purpose: Enhances the efficiency of heat transfer to the surrounding environment and provides electrical insulation.
Design Flexibility:
Shapes and Configurations:
Straight: Common for simple, direct applications.
Bent or Coiled: Customized for specific applications requiring complex heating patterns or fitting into confined spaces.
Sizes and Wattages:
Customization: Available in various diameters, lengths, and wattages to match specific heating requirements.
Performance Characteristics:
Temperature Range:
Capability: Can operate at temperatures ranging from moderate to high, typically up to 600°C (1112°F), depending on the design and materials used.
Efficiency:
Heat Distribution: Provides even and consistent heating across the length of the tube, improving process stability and energy efficiency.
Durability:
Robustness: Designed to be durable and withstand harsh conditions, including high temperatures and corrosive environments.
Applications of Tubular Heaters
Process Air & Gas Heating:
Purpose: Used to heat air or gases in industrial processes, improving efficiency and controlling temperature for various operations.
Examples: Air dryers, industrial ovens, and gas heaters.
Water / Liquid Immersion:
Purpose: Provides direct heating of water or other liquids by immersing the heater in the liquid.
Examples: Water heaters, industrial tanks, and chemical processing.
Circulation Heating:
Purpose: Maintains the temperature of fluids in circulation systems, ensuring consistent heating throughout the system.
Examples: Heating circuits in heat exchangers, and circulation tanks.
Tank Wall and Pipe Heating:
Purpose: Applies heat to the walls of tanks and pipes to prevent freezing, maintain temperature, or ensure proper flow.
Examples: Insulated tanks, piping systems in cold environments.
Thermal Forming Machines:
Purpose: Provides the necessary heat to mold or shape materials in thermal forming processes.
Examples: Thermoforming machines for plastics and metal molds.
Furnace and Oven Heating:
Purpose: Used to heat the interior of furnaces and ovens for various industrial and commercial applications.
Examples: Industrial furnaces, commercial baking ovens.
Comfort Heating and Freeze Protection:
Purpose: Provides warmth in residential or commercial spaces and protects pipes or equipment from freezing temperatures.
Examples: Space heaters, pipe freeze protection systems.
Radiant Heating:
Purpose: Delivers heat directly to objects or surfaces via radiation, rather than heating the air.
Examples: Radiant heaters in workshops, garage heaters.
Vacuum Heating:
Purpose: Operates in a vacuum environment to heat materials or equipment without the need for a traditional heating medium.
Examples: Vacuum ovens, vacuum drying applications.
Metal Mold and Die Heating:
Purpose: Provides controlled heating to metal molds and dies in manufacturing processes to improve molding and forming.
Examples: Die casting, injection molding.
Shapes of Tubular Heaters
Straight Tubular Heaters:
Description: Simple, linear shape with a uniform diameter along its length.
Applications: Ideal for direct heating applications and easy installation in tanks, ovens, and dryers.
Bent Tubular Heaters:
Description: Tubes bent into specific shapes or angles to fit around equipment or into tight spaces.
Applications: Used in custom applications where the heater needs to conform to a specific layout, such as heating elements in confined areas or complex molds.
Coiled Tubular Heaters:
Description: Tubular heaters coiled into spiral or helical shapes.
Applications: Effective for heating larger surface areas or for use in applications like conveyor belts and fluid heating.
U-Shaped Tubular Heaters:
Description: Formed into a U-shape, often used to provide heating in applications where a directional heat source is needed.
Applications: Commonly used in industrial ovens and heating systems where the heater needs to be positioned around an object or within a chamber.
Custom-Shaped Tubular Heaters:
Description: Designed to meet specific dimensions and configurations based on the application’s needs.
Applications: Tailored for unique equipment or processes, such as custom molds, specialty tanks, or other bespoke heating requirements.
