Rod and Finned Elements
KALORlC Standard, finned and block tubular elements
are designed and manufactured from highest grade of reslstance wire
and are fitted In stainless steel tubes filled with granular magnesium
oxide to ensure quick heat transfer from the resistance coil to
the sheath.
Elements are available either straight or bent into shape to suit
individual requirements and fitted with terminations to specification.
The wide range of sizes and loadings facilitates the selection of
the correct type of element in relation to the airflow and size
of ducts.
To increase the rate of heat dissipation from the elements cooling
fins are fitted as shown above. The fins are wound under high tension
onto a standard rod element. Good surface contact is thereby ensured
resulting In a highly efficient transfer of heat.
Some 6 fins are provided per inch length of heater and this increases
the radiating surface approximately 4 times. In view of the improved
rate of dissipation these elements may carry a higher density of
loadlng and would be a considerable improvement over the standard
rod elements.
