Industrial heaters can be used in a variety of applications. When used in drying processes, the heat creates steam that removes moisture from materials. Industrial heaters are also essential to making many types of products, including concrete and asphalt.
Industrial heaters transform energy from a fuel or energy source into thermal energy in a system, process stream, or closed environment. Heat transfer is the process through which thermal energy changes from an energy source to a system.
The most essential components in any industrial heating system are industrial heating elements. Regardless of the application, selecting the proper industrial heating element will increase efficiency, saving money and time.
To help you choose the appropriate type of industrial heater for your project, we put together this guide to demonstrate how to select the best industrial heating element for your needs.
TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL HEATERS AND THEIR APPLICATION
When purchasing industrial heaters, buyers should examine the characteristics of different types of heaters. For example, an engineer will need to consider how much space needs to be heated before determining what sort of heating system is required. A large warehouse in a cold environment will require a different heating system than a tiny room. Industrial heaters come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations. These are some of the most common types.
AIR HEATERS
А radiant heaters, space heaters, and forced air devices are examples of this class of heater.
CIRCULATION HEATER
Circulation heaters are used to warm streams of flowing, moving, or circulating fluid. The fluid heats as it passes through the heater.
DUCT HEATERS
Duct heaters warm up moving air or gas that passes through a duct.
FLEXIBLE HEATERS
Heaters that are flexible may be molded to heat a specific shape.
IMMERSION HEATERS
This sort of heater must be placed into the substance it is heating.
SPACE HEATERS
Space heaters are the best option for small spaces. They’re generally portable, non-emitting, and safe to use.
Industrial heaters are essential in a wide range of industrial applications, including annealing, heat treating, curing/tempering, drying, melting, and OEM/custom heating. Choosing the right heater for a specific job is safer, cost-effective, and more efficient in the long term.
