Heating Elements

Commonwealth Electrical Industries offers Heating Elements. These D Shape Elements are formed from round to "D" section and then formed to round diameter to achieve a cylindrical format. They are compacted to a much extreme density. This process increases both heat transfer ability and insulation value to the dielectric. The greater insulation value accommodates higher watt densities. These heaters produce more wattage compared to conventional heaters and can operate at higher temperatures. Maximum operating temperature is 650°C. Speciality: longer service life - the life of "D" shape elements is directly related to its internal operating temperature. Denser and more uniform compaction of the di-electric provides greater heat transfer to the sheath. This combined with more efficient heat transfer to the surrounding metal through intimate contact with the wall of the bore. This permits the "D" section elements to run substantially cooler resulting into a better life. Better heat transfer means, less power consumption to maintain the set point temperature reducing operating costs. Features: better heat transfer means cooler internal operation; easier to install and remove; longer service life; higher watt densities; uniform temperature profile; and sizes available are 3, 4.5, 6.3, 8, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5, 12, 14, 16 mm.
