Flexible elements

Possible to use in almost any application

DESCRIPTION

Flexible heating elements offer many advantages such as even heat distribution, fast heat-up, compact design, low weight and power density. This makes the field of application broad and diversified. They can be designed in almost any shape and the large choice of insulation materials makes it possible to use flexible elements in almost any application. The even heat distribution also makes the flexible element energy efficient.
Heating element inertia improoves the heat accumulation and provides a longer cooling time. It also means longer time is needed to heat up the element. Various flexible elements mounted on the front panel can here offer a perfect combination, providing instant heat radiation evenly distributed on the front panel, until the main heat source has reached the set temperature.
