| Benefits of heaters
utilizing PTC technology: |
|
 |
Intrinsic temperature limiting capability - Heaters utilizing PTC |
| technology have the innate ability to self-regulate to a predetermined maximum temperature. Traditional resistive heaters, on the other hand, can attain temperatures in excess of the melting point of their very materials of construction, thus causing heater failure and possible collateral damage to tanks, buildings, other equipment, and product. |
|
| |
|
Can safely be used without temperature controls and thermal |
| cut out fuses - In many applications, temperature controls are not required when effectively incorporating a heater utilizing PTC technology. |
|
| |
|
Substantially voltage independent - Heaters utilizing PTC tech |
| nology are essentially voltage independent across wide ranges; as a result, their use is more flexible and predictable than that of traditional resistive heaters which derive their heating power explicitly from the applied voltage. |
|
| |
|
Tolerant to scale build-up and high viscosity solutions -Due
to |
| the self-regulating properties of heaters utilizing PTC technology, they are not prone to overheating and failure due to scale build-up. Similarly, they are ideal for highly viscous solutions, as the watt-density automatically adjusts so that the heater operates at a temperature within its safe limits. |
