Open Coil & Strip Heater

PHS make Open coil elements are the most efficient type of electric heating element while also the most economically feasible for most heating applications. These industrial heating elements have fast heat up times that improve efficiency and have been designed for low maintenance and easily, inexpensive replacement parts.

Technical Details

Operating temperature up to 1200°C
Heating Element Kanthal, Ni-Cr (80:20)

Construction

  • Have open circuits consisting of coiled resistance wire that heat the medium directly.
  • This type of heating coil is used with ceramic tube & ceramic insulators for mounting support and insulation.

Applications

  • Used predominantly in the duct heating industry, open coil elements have open circuits that heat air directly from the suspended resistive coils.
  • Ribbon/strip heating elements are used where higher watts/sq. in. are required
  • Air heating application by convection or high temperature furnace application

Advantages

  • They are lightweight
  • Available in multiple shapes and sizes
  • Easy mounting in refractory-lined furnaces
  • They often replace rod elements in high power applications like annealing and brazing
  • Most efficient and versatile while also the most economically feasible solution for heating.
  • Fast heat up times that improve efficiency and have been designed for low maintenance and inexpensive replacement parts.
