Construction and features
- Up to 200 watts/in²
- Durable construction
- Efficient heat transfer
- Various special features
- CSA and CE certified
In high-density cartridge heaters the resistance
wire loops are positioned as close as possible to the outside shell.
Because the MgO powder insulation around these loops is compacted by
swaging and transformed into a very hard medium, heat transmission is
very efficient. MEGAWAT cartridge heaters can have up to 200
watts/in² watt densities.
Cartridge heaters are usually supplied with lead wires.
The attachment of the leads to the central pins is done internally,
in a 3/8” cold section. In excessively hot applications, the length
of this cold section could be increased.
To facilitate installation and avoid excessive
air pockets, cartridge heaters are made 0.004” less tan the nominal size
of the receptacle hole with a tolerance of +/- 0.002”.
MEGAWAT cartridges heaters can be dual-voltage,
three phase, and/or be supplied with a ground terminal. With ten different
termination styles, mounting attachments and various optional features, MEGAWAT high-density cartridges heaters are widely used in
numerous high temperature applications. |
