    Tubular Heaters and Heating Elements

    Tubular Heaters

    Formed Tubular Heating Elements provide an economical, robust, and versatile


    heat source. Tubular Heating Elements are commonly used to fit into milled
    grooves for hot runner molding systems. The precision fit optimizes heat transfer
    to the working surface. National Plastic Heater can provide Formed Tubular
    Heating Elements“ready to go” into your existing channel or new tool design.
    Tubular Heating Elements are made of incolloy and can be bent into all shapes
    and sizes. These elements could be designed to fit various applications from
    radiant to contact heating with watt densities for liquids, solids or gases . Tubular
    heaters are also used in heating oils, food metal Plastics or various other
    processes. Available in various diameter from 0.125” to 0.625 “ and voltages
    from 12 volts to 600 volts .

    Features and Benefits:

    easy and convenient installation


    available in a wide variety of sheaths, diameters and ratings
    electrically isolated sheath
    placement of heat source to specification
    compact, space-efficient design
    precise and versatile heat control
    long life with minimal maintenance required
    excellent internal electrical insulation and heat conduction
    APPLICATIONS:

    Liquid Heating
    Direct Immersion–Water and water solutions generally can be heated to any
    desired temperature. If liquid is under pressure, temperatures should not exceed
    the maximum sheath temperature of the element minus 100°F.

    For Heating Oil (SAE 20 weight) –


    Steel sheath elements can be used 180°F. Heat transfer oils and other solutions
    not corrosive to steel sheath 500°F.(Note: Some liquids are corrosive. For
    additional information on selecting the proper sheath materials, refer to our
    Technical Resource Center. Heated section of element must be immersed at all
    times when energized. Longer cold ends can be provided if required.) Threaded
    fittings are available for mounting through tank walls.

    The following diagrams provide various formations that are possible, kindly chose
    the formation you require by Type Number and send it to us to enable us to

    INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS: TUBULAR HEATERS

    APPLICATION
    Tubular elements of proper rating, material and shape can be applied to most
    heating applications requiring process temperatures to 750°C (1382°F).
    Tubular elements may be clamped, immersed, cast into metal or spaced
    away from the work as radiant heaters. Elements can also be positioned in
    ducts or vessels for heating air or other gases.
    Check factory for recommendations if you are unsure of the suitability of the
    heater to your application.

    INSTALLATION
    The terminals must be protected at all times from moisture or vapour. In
    hazardous locations, explosion resistant terminal housings must be used. In
    outdoor locations, moisture resistant housings are required.
    Protect terminals of heating elements from drippings, condensation, fumes,
    spray or any other substance which could result in element contamination.
    When melting solids by direct immersion, a surface vent should be provided
    to allow gases to escape.
    Operate the heater at ½ voltage until melted material completely covers the
    heating elements. Heaters used for this purpose may require special design
    features. Check factory for recommendations.

    WIRING AND CONTROL


    Heaters must be wired by qualified personnel to electrical code requirements.
    Check supply voltage for compliance with heater nameplate voltage.
    A line voltage or pilot duty thermostat should be used to control the heater.
    The pilot duty thermostat must be used with a contactor and (if required) a
    transformer. Generally, heaters supplied with built-in thermostats will be
    factory prewired if suitable for line voltage operation. Integral thermostats not
    factory prewired are usually intended for pilot duty.
    Heaters with explosion resistant terminal housings must only be used in
    locations for which the heaters are certified.
    Check heater nameplate information for approval code.
    Never energize an explosion resistant heater unless the terminal housing
    cover is properly tightened.

    START-UP INSPECTION
    Check that all terminal connections are tight.
    Heaters stored for prolonged periods may absorb moisture. Using a megger
    (insulation resistance tester) check the value of the insulation resistance to
    ground for each circuit. Initial readings of over 500,000 ohms to ground are
    normally acceptable. Should lower readings be observed, check factory for
    instructions.

    MAINTENANCE
    DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING.
    Inspect periodically for corrosion, sludge build-up and for scale removal.
    Periodically check electrical connections for tightness.
