heating rods, black heat, red heat

Rod elements are widely used in industry for convection heating, conduction heating and also for radiation heating.

Heating rods are versatile because they

  • can be bent into any shape
  • operate at high temperatures (up to 650°C)
  • can be immersed into liquids.

The robust metal sheathed construction ensures safety (electrical insulation) and protection against moisture and dirt.

Tubular sheathed heating elements: Construction

The rod element consists of a heating coil, imbedded in compacted MgO-powder and protected by an outer metal sheath.
An unheated zone on either end prevents overheating of the termination and the exposed part of the rod.
