Alkaline Heaters are Ideal for Alkaline Cleaning Solutions

Electric heaters generate heat with the help of heating elements which convert electrical energy into heat energy and then transfer that heat energy to or through air, liquid or solids by convection, conduction or radiation. Hot liquid are less dense and hence they rise where as cold liquid which is denser sinks owing to gravity, which subsequently results in transfer of heat. This is known as convection. Conduction on the other refers to the transfer of energy in the form of heat or electricity from one atom to another within an object by direct contact. Radiation is energy travelling through space. Sunshine is one of the most familiar forms of radiation which delivers light and heat.

Every day appliances that we use on regular basis like dryers, heaters, ovens, water heaters, which require heat for certain different processes make use of these types of elements in one form or another. Heating elements within electric heaters consist of three elements: an insulating core, a heat conductive coil wrapped around the insulation, and an encasing sheath made from stainless steel, aluminium, nickel or chromium.

Insulating cores are integral part of majority of electric heaters as they serve the all-important purpose of absorbing and retaining electric energy so as to release them as heat energy by surrounding coils or materials. Infrared, immersion, flexible, quartz heating elements, etc, are some good examples of commercial applications.

On the other hand, coiled water heating elements, such as those used as household dryer heating elements lack insulating cores; they transfer heat directly into the air by a process known as convection.

Equipment or applications that need to generate higher amount of heat require, cores form an essential part of the heating elements. These cores are generally made from either Nichrome, a high-resistance 80% nickel 20% chromium compound, or from a Positive Thermal Coefficient ceramic, a highly heat resistant barium titanate/lead titanate composite. Ceramic and Nichrome are by far the most common insulation materials, though heating elements also make use of mineral insulation such as mica, magnesium oxide, fiberglass, etc depending upon the heat generation requirement.

Alkaline heaters are suitable for alkaline cleaning solutions and chemical tanks. These types of heaters manufactured by top quality manufacturers score top numbers on important parameters of strength, precision and durability among others. These heaters made of high quality raw materials and latest technology require lower maintenance and have superior functionality and durability. Top of the line manufacturers can be contacted for these types of heaters at affordable rates. Also, heaters are manufactured using titanium sheathing for heating alkaline cleaning solutions. These alkaline electric heaters are covered with lead pipe so that electric chrome can be heated. These heaters find widespread usage in various industries. In addition to this, we provide availability of heaters in different specifications as per the requirements of esteemed clients.
