Tubular Heaters-2

Fast Heat-up with Flat Surface Technology Watlow’s FIREBAR heaters with flat surface technology provide faster heat-up and recovery times than standard round tubular heaters. Their unique shape minimizes coking and oil degradation, and enhances the flow of the oil past the element’s surface, helping to pull heat away from the heater sheath. The heater lasts longer because it runs at a significantly lower sheath temperature than an equal watt density round tubular. This also prolongs the life of the oil or shortening and reduces costs from frequent changing. Because of its design and geometry,...
