The Ceramic fiber heater product line offers some of the
highest temperature heating element.
Ceramic fiber heaters are
made by integrating an iron-chome-aluminum (ICA) heating element and
ceramic fiber insulation Heating units constructed of ceramic fiber
insulation isolate the heating chamber from the outside.
Ceramic fiber heaters are extremely low mass,
high insulation value units with self-supported heating elements.
They're versatile for many applications that can benefit from the
convenience of heating element and insulation in one package.
Ceramic fiber is an insulation made of an
alumina-silica composition, held together by an inorganic binder.
It's commonly used as a refractory material. Its lightweight,
low-density properties make it ideally suited for high temperature
applications requiring low thermal mass.
Operating temperatures up to
1204¡É and Watt densities from 5 to 30 W/in² (0.8 to
4.6 W/cm²).

FEATURES
High temperature iron-chrome-aluminum(ICA) resistance
elements are integrally bound into position.
Lightweight, low-density alumina-silica composition is
molded to shape, acting as insulation to isolate the heating chamber from
the outside. This low shrinkage fiber and inorganic binder assures a firm,
thermal shock resistant, self-supporting unit at all operating temperatures.
Operating temperatures up to 1204¡É provide high temperature
performance not possible with many other heater types.
Low mass ceramic fiber insulation of 160 to 240 kg/m³
allows the heater to reach process temperature quickly and allows the energy
to heat the load instead of wasting energy on itself.

Coiled elements readily conform to complex curved surfaces,
especially small custom chamber shapes.
Coiled element design works best in higher voltage, lower
current situations.
Use where lower watt density requirements and low duty.
cycle operations are expected.
Available in stock and standard units of medium watt
density, rated up to 1093¡É.
