What are Tubular Heater Elements?

Tubular heater elements are made of a metal sheath that contains a resistance wire coil surrounded by compacted, insulating material. Tubular heater manufacturers commonly use Magnesium oxide as insulation material because of its high thermal and low electrical conductivity.

Benefits

• The high watt density and outer solid sheath of quality tubular heaters ensure efficient heat transfer from the resistance coil to the heated medium and facilitate uniform heat distribution.
• We guarantee the robust construction of high-quality, low-maintenance tubular heater elements that sustain physical stress, vibration, thermal shock, and corrosion.
• Tubular heaters can also be customized to fit various shapes or sizes. We make them to withstand multiple chemicals, peak temperatures, and pressures.
• Our tubular heaters allow easy installation and removal by including threaded fittings, flanges, clamps, or brackets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a tubular heater?
A tubular heater is an electric heating element designed in a tube like shape, used for uniform and controlled heating in industrial and commercial applications.

2. How does a tubular heater work?
It works by converting electrical energy into heat through resistance wire enclosed in a metal sheath, which evenly distributes heat to the surrounding area or medium.

3. What are tubular heaters used for?
They are used for heating air, liquids, gases, and solids in applications such as ovens, water tanks, industrial equipment, and HVAC systems.

4. What materials are used in tubular heaters?
Typically, stainless steel, Incoloy, copper, or titanium sheaths are used to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.

5. What temperature range can tubular heaters handle?
Tubular heaters can operate at temperatures up to 750°C (1,382°F) depending on material and design.

6. Are tubular heaters energy efficient?
Yes, they provide excellent energy efficiency due to direct heat transfer and minimal heat loss.

7. Can tubular heaters be customized?
Yes, Cheri Heater offers custom designs including different diameters, lengths, wattage, voltages, and bending shapes to match your specific needs.

8. What are the common shapes of tubular heaters?
They can be straight, U-shaped, hairpin, circular, or custom-bent for specific applications.

9. Are tubular heaters safe to use?
Yes, when properly installed with the right controls and insulation, they are safe and reliable for continuous operation.

10. Can tubular heaters be used in liquids?
Yes, immersion-type tubular heaters are designed for direct use in liquids like water, oil, and chemicals.

11. What is the difference between air and immersion tubular heaters?
Air heaters are designed to heat gases or air, while immersion heaters are used for heating liquids directly.

12. How long do tubular heaters last?
With proper usage and maintenance, tubular heaters can last several years, offering long service life and stable performance.

13. Can tubular heaters be repaired?
In most cases, damaged heaters are replaced rather than repaired due to safety and cost considerations.

14. What factors affect the lifespan of tubular heaters?
Temperature, moisture, voltage fluctuation, and chemical exposure can influence heater life.

15. How are tubular heaters installed?
They are typically installed using threaded fittings, flanges, or mounting brackets depending on application requirements.

16. Do tubular heaters require maintenance?
They require minimal maintenance mainly regular inspection and cleaning to ensure proper heat transfer.

17. Can tubular heaters be used outdoors?
Yes, weatherproof and corrosion-resistant designs are available for outdoor and harsh environments.

18. What industries use tubular heaters?
They are used in food processing, packaging, oil & gas, power plants, plastics, and textile industries.
