OVERVIEW
GME Flat Shape Tubular Heating Elements provide added heating
performance over standard round tubular heating elements—especially
for immersion applications in petroleum based liquids requiring
high kilowatts.
CONSTRUCTION
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
GME flat tubular element produces performance features and benefits
not possible with traditional round tubular technology. The
following describes how and why the flat tubular element is
functionally superior for many applications—especially those
requiring large wattage with low watt density.
By using the GME flat tubular element it will:
• Lower the element’s watt density. Reducing watt density can
extends life.
• Reduce element size and keep the same watt density, or increase
heater power within application space parameters
• Increase element life by reducing sheath temperature
• Reduce coking and fluid degrading
• Provide superior heat transfer in clamp-on applications resulting
from greater surface area contact
