Finned Cartridge Heater

High-Efficiency Forced Air Heating Solution

Our Finned Cartridge Heaters are engineered for superior heat transfer in forced air applications. The continuous fins are furnace-brazed to the sheath, maximizing surface area for rapid and efficient heat dissipation into the air stream.

FAQ

What is the primary advantage of a finned heater over a standard one?

The fins dramatically increase the heater's surface area, which allows for much faster and more efficient heat transfer into the air stream. This makes them ideal for forced air and convection heating applications where quick temperature response is needed.

How does air velocity affect the heater's performance? Higher air velocity improves heat dissipation from the fins, allowin

Higher air velocity improves heat dissipation from the fins, allowing the heater to run at a higher watt density without overheating. It's crucial to operate the heater within its specified air velocity range to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

 
Can these heaters be customized for specific applications?
Yes, absolutely. We can customize the diameter, length, fin spacing, wattage, voltage, and termination types to precisely match the requirements of your specific heating system. Please contact us to discuss your custom needs.
