Strip Heater without Fins
Strip heaters without fins are designed for contact heating. They are used in a verity of applications including mounting to the outside of tanks container surfaces for heating of liquids and solids. They are also used for direct heating of platens, dies and other flat metal shapes and solids. It is extremely important that the heaters are mounted on a flat, smooth and clean surface with good contact maintained between the heater and the mounting surface. Air gaps between the mating surfaces will result in a reduced heat transfer and possible shorter heater life due to resulting higher heating temperatures. These are available with various terminologies.
