Product Description

Silicone Rubber Heater With Thermostat

Silicone rubber heater with thermostat is very thin and flexible and can be constructed into any geometry to fit almost any type of contour. Their low profile design and direct bonding to the application facilitates efficient and rapid heat transfer, resulting in faster heating and lower power requirements. Silicone rubber heaters offer very high power density and their versatile design allows for higher or lower heat concentration areas to meet distributed power requirements. They can be preformed into complex shapes and can withstand mechanical shock and vibration. They can also accommodate thermostats or RTDs for precise temperature control. For easy connection, terminations can be provided in any position. Different mounting methods such as pressure sensitive adhesive, field adhesive, Velcro can be used as required. Silicone rubber heaters are of two types.

Wire wound elements consist of the resistance wire wound on a fiberglass cord for support and stability. Wire wound is recommended and preferred for all large and small sized heaters.
Etched foil heaters are made with a thin metal foil (.001") as the resistance element. The etched foil heater provide exceptional heat transfer compared to wire wound elements, due to its large flat surface area. It can deliver more uniform heat profiles with higher watt densities, providing longer operating heater life.

The etched foil heater has exceptional heat transfer compared to wire wound elements, due to its large flat surface area. It can deliver more uniform heat profiles with higher watt densities, providing longer operating heater life. It can also be zoned with distributed wattage or separate heating circuits to compensate for load variations. The etched foil process is recommended for small size heaters in large quantities.
