Tubular Heaters are the most versatile of all electric heating elements. They are capable of being formed into virtually any configuration. Tubular heating elements perform exceptional heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation to heat liquids, air, gases, and surfaces.
Tubular heaters provide a great way of maintaining the ambient temperature in a variety of environments and are cleaner and more cost-effective than other alternatives. ... Here, in particular, tubular heaters provide a clean and efficient way of keeping the ambient temperature at just the right level.
Tubular heating elements are commonly used in industrial heating due to their versatility and affordability. They are used for heating liquids, solids and gases through conduction, convection, and radiation heating.
In process heating, tubular heaters fall in the category of electric heaters usually having high surface temperatures within a preheated segment of a machine. They use infrared radiation along with air flow for transferring heat to a liquid or gaseous medium.
