Tubular immersion heaters are electric heating elements designed to heat liquids, gases, or air by direct immersion. They consist of a metal tube (usually made of stainless steel, copper, or Incoloy) that houses a resistive heating coil insulated with magnesium oxide for efficient heat transfer and electrical insulation.
Key Features:
- Direct immersion: Efficiently transfers heat to the medium (water, oil, chemicals, etc.).
- Versatile mounting: Can be flanged, threaded, or over-the-side for easy installation.
- Customizable: Available in various lengths, watt densities, and sheath materials to suit different applications.
