Finned elements

Increased area and reduced temperature

DESCRIPTION

Elektrotermija produces tubular finned heating elements which consists of standard round tubular heating element and stainless steel strip that is coiled arround the element. This enlarging of heating surface reduces working temperature of the element, extends working life time or on the other hand could lead to reducing diameter of the element or overall dimensions of the assembly. Heat is transfered by forced convections using fans and very rarely these elements are used without fans. Elements can be straight (I shape) or bent in standard shapes U, M or multiple M, for other shapes please consult factory. When designing finned elements it is important to specify working temperature, air velocity (or air flow), dimesions of available space and application. Finned heaters are usualy produced with electrical connections M4 and mechanical connections M14x1.5 , other connections upon request. We can produce elements with extended cold zone (cooling zone), double mechanical connections, unheated area at U bent part and lot of other special executions and features.
