Mica Strip Heaters

Strip heaters, often considered component heaters, are a simple way of using surface area to transfer heat effectively. A fairly inexpensive way of heating surfaces or small areas, strip heaters are an excellent solution to meet any budget. If strip heaters are used as a radiant heater, they have can have fins to maximize surface area and heat transfer to the air.

  • MOUNTING SUGGESTIONS

    Maximize your mica strip heater, by ensuring the following tips.

    • The surface to be heated needs to be kept smooth and clean, for best heat transferring. Caution: Gaps can cause hot spotting
    • Terminal post nuts should not be over tightened, while posts should be securely riveted to the elements. Caution: Excessive torque can break the connection
    • DERATING TIPS
      • Heaters mounted less than 1 inch apart on a metal base: derate by 5%
      • Heaters mounted within 3 inches of a reflective surface: derate by 10%
      • Heaters mounted 2-6 increase apart, that radiate toward each other: derate 10%
      • Heaters mounted within one inch from reflective surface(s): derate by 20%
      • Heaters mounted under 2 inches apart, and radiating towards each other:
