Finstrip® Finned Strip Heaters
Finstrip® and Fintube® heaters are ideal for OEMs and Users for heating air or gases. Superior to open coil elements, the heating coil is completely encased in a metal sheath. This minimizes a shock hazard due to accidental contact with the heater and makes the heater more rugged. The sheath also makes these elements ideal for applications with vibration. The Finstrip® heater is also ideal for anti-condensation heating of control panels and vibrating equipment like motors or generators. Both heaters come with an array of mounting options and terminations.
Finstrip® elements are superior to open coil elements since the heating coil is completely encased in a metal sheath, minimizing a shock hazard due to accidental contact with the heater. The rigid metal sheath minimizes hot spots and electrical shorting, likely with open coil elements. Application temperatures to 565°F are typical using finned strip units.
