Technical Comparison of Band Heaters

This document provides a technical comparison of different types of band heaters, focusing on the aluminium compact Band Heater type ZAK, and its advantages over ceramic-insulated and mica-insulated band heaters.

Specifications and Test Procedures

Test 1: Savings Potential
Two band heaters were compared: the ceramic-insulated Band Heater KHK 302D 201 L 230V 9000W and the aluminium compact Band Heater ZAK 302D 200 L 230-250V 9000W. The test involved heating a cylinder to 250°C and measuring long-term performance.
Test 2: Heat Distribution
Three types of band heaters were tested for heat distribution: mica-insulated Band Heater type Z, ceramic-insulated Band Heater type KHK, and aluminium compact Band Heater type ZAK. All were heated to 200°C.

Results and Findings

Savings Potential
The aluminium compact Band Heater ZAK reduced heating time by 11 minutes compared to the ceramic-insulated Band Heater, using 6.4 kWh compared to 8.15 kWh for the ceramic variant. This indicates a significant increase in efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
Heat Distribution
The aluminium compact Band Heater demonstrated superior heat distribution, achieving nearly 100% heat distribution and reducing surface temperature during continuous use.

Benefits of Aluminium Compact Band Heaters

Compact and closed heating design
Efficient heat distribution through total surface contact
Fast heating and temperature maintenance
Robust, energy-efficient, and economical
Potential energy savings of up to 30% compared to conventional heaters

BAND HEATERS TECHNICAL COMPARISON Aluminium compact Band Heater type ZAK with savings potential According to the current state of knowledge, aluminium compact Band Heaters offer surface-area dependent savings potential compared to conventional Band Heaters. Comparisons have clearly shown that the aluminium heating achieved optimal heat distribution up to the boundary areas through its compact and stable design and precise fitting. A Temperature Sensor can be installed, which enables precise regulation of the heating. Test procedure: Test 1: Savings potential Test 2: Heat distribution Comparison:...

The compact design of the Band Heater ZAK and the good heat-conducting material aluminium reduced the heating time in comparison to the ceramic insulated Band Heater by 11 minutes. Also in the continuous use/ maintaining 250 °C setting, over a specified time period, the aluminium compact variant displays strongly reduced surface temperature compared to the ceramic-insulated variant. The measured power usage in kWh shows a significant increase of efficiency, which leads to a reduction in the time it is in use. energy consumption (kWh) Energiebedarf (kWh) Test 2: Heat distribution 380.0 °C smetsyS...
