Our heating elements

What is the role of a heating element?

A heater is a type of heating device that uses electricity to produce heat. The electrical heating resistor consists of a conductive material, usually resistance wire, which is wrapped around an insulating support. When supplied with electric current, the resistor generates heat by passing current through the resistance wire.

This heat can be used to heat the air or other fluid that circulates around the heater. They can also be used to maintain substances at a constant temperature in containers such as incubators and thermostats.

What are the different types of heating elements?

There are several types of heating elements including:

Wire elements Made from metal wires wound around a ceramic or ceramic fiber support.

Tubular elements Tubular elements: made from metal tubes filled with resistant materials such as nickel-chromium or aluminum.

Ceramic elements Made of conductive ceramic materials, these elements are used in high temperature applications.

Film elements Made from thin films of conductive materials, these elements are used in precision and high power applications.

Sheet metal elements Made from metal sheets, these elements are used in medium power applications.

What is the resistance in an electrical heating circuit?

The resistance in an electrical heating circuit is the measureexpressed in ohms (Ω), of the difficulty a conductor has in passing an electric current when used to produce heat. She is influenced by several factors such as the conductor material, its length, its section and its temperature. It is important because it can affect the amount of heat produced and the performance of the device in which it is used.

For example, a copper conductor generally has a lower resistance than an aluminum conductor, because copper is a better conductor than aluminum. Also, a longer conductor will have a higher resistance than a shorter one, because there is more material through which the current must flow.

How to choose a heating element?

There are several factors to consider when choosing a heating element for a given project:

1

Operating temperature

It is important to select an element that can operate at the temperature required for your application.

2

Power

The power required will depend on the size and nature of your application. It is important to select an element that can provide the power required to effectively heat your substance or medium.

3

Size and shape

It is important to select an element that suits the space available in your application.

4

Lifetime

It is important to select a heating element that has sufficient life for your application.

5

Corrosion resistance

It is important to select an item that is corrosion resistant if used in an aggressive environment.
