Heating Element : How to choose the appropriate Heating Element

 

A heating element is an essential component of every heating system. It is important to choose the best one for the role. However, with so many different styles to pick from, it can be difficult to decide on your own.

When selecting a new heating element  and Industrial Heater for your application, consider your particular needs and what you want to accomplish with the new piece of equipment like:

·        What is its purpose, such as heating a solid/liquid/gas?

·        What temperature must the heating element reach?

·        What is the required voltage?

·        How long the heating element would have to operate?

Answers to the above questions simplify the decision-making process and save you a lot of time and effort.

In electric heaters, a heating element powered by electricity generates heat. After that, heat is spread through resistance/induction or electric heating.



Types

·        -> Nichrome coil or ribbon: Nichrome is a nickel-chrome alloy. This is a popular material used in resistance heating elements. The metal is both flexible&durable, and it can withstand high temperatures. And when white-hot, the metal would not oxidize, which is why it is still a popular choice for heating elements in general.

·        -> Sealed ceramic: It is the most stable kind of heating element. Ceramic is one of the most powerful types of heating elements because it heats rapidly and preserves heat for long periods. They often have Nichrome metal inside, which aids in heating the ceramic from within.

·        -> Incandescent quartz tubes: This heating element is essentially tubular incandescent bulbs with quartz inside to help retain heat. This type of heating element is most commonly used in radiant heating systems where heat generation necessitates a gentle approach to avoid overheating.
