Strip heaters

Electrical strip heaters, wrapped around the three stainless steel vessels enable them to be operated at any desired temperature. Thermocouples strapped to the surfaces of the vessels permit measurement, of their temperatures and, coupled to controllers, maintain the vessels at constant temperature or ensure that the rate of change of the temperature of the vessels is not excessive, so avoiding unnecessary thermal stress in them.

Small electric strip heaters with a width of 6 mm are oriented in a horizontal position. The strips are maintained at 500°C and exposed to room air at 20°C. Assuming that the strips dissipate heat from both the top and the bottom surfaces, estimate the strip length required to dissipate 2 kW of heat by free convection. 

Heating a room poses potential dangers. Never risk a fire in a grow room by using radiant strip heaters. 

A resistive strip heater was considered as a possible inexpensive, improved heat source. Wire-wound strip heaters are commonly made with surface-temperature variations of less than 2% (when measured on top of a 0.125-in.-thick glass plate). Another well-controlled heat source would be a heated oil system. 

Small Research Laminator. The Process Development Area (PDA) of FSA received two ARCO Solar-developed laminators at the end of the contract. One of these laminators was modified for use with a strip heater. This configuration, with a boost-and-buck autotransformer power supply, was used successfully for some process verification and materials survey experiments. Assessment of future research needs and present equipment capabilities led to additional modifications of the laminator. 

The adsorption purifier contains about J ft of silica gel. It is in the form of a single tank, but is divided into quadrants to increase the path length for the gas. Fiberglass filters on the inlet and exhaust sides are used to prevent dust from flowing into the system. Strip heaters fastened to the unit provide heat for regeneration. 

Electric heat is usually accomplished by means of immersion heaters in the solvent. Small units, requiring low heat input may be heated by strip heaters fastened to the underside of the tank. Caution immersion-type heaters are of a type to give low watt... 

Simple bending is carried out by locally heating along the bend line, from both sides, until the material is pliable, using a strip heater. A strip heater can easily be constructed using a heating element inside a box stmc-ture, with the top made from a heat-resisting material. 

Strip heaters present most of the same construction varieties as the band heaters. Strip heaters are commonly used to apply surface heating to dies and molds. Sometimes they act as a radiant heat source in thermoforming or plastic-bending applications.

Electric-strip heaters, hot plates or irons, and resistance blades are common methods of providing heat locally. Usually, the heating surface that will be in contact with the... 

The die heating may be facilitated using electrical cartridge heaters, strip heaters or by circulating oil. Even though the main heat transfer is affected by conduction, in some cases radio frequency radiations are used. The dies are mainly fabricated of steel with their interior surfaces generally chrome plated for increased die life and improved surface finish (Meyer, 1985).
