Tubular Heaters and Heating Elements
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NPH Tubular Heaters are highly adaptable to most applications where electrical heating is required. They can be used in their straight form or bent into various shapes. Tubular heaters can be used in free air, clamped to a surface, placed inside a groove or cast into metal. These versatile heating elements are available in steel, copper, stainless steel or Incoloy outside sheath and can be utilized in application temperatures of up to 1400�F.

Application
Tubular elements of proper rating, material and shape can be
applied to most heating
applications requiring process temperatures to 750�C
(1382�F).
Tubular elements may be clamped, immersed, cast into metal or
spaced away from the work as
radiant heaters. Elements can also be positioned
in ducts or vessels for heating air or other
gases.
Check factory for recommendations if you are unsure of the suitability
of the heater to your
application.
Installation
The terminals must be protected at all times from moisture or
vapour. In hazardous locations,
explosion resistant terminal housings must be
used. In outdoor locations, moisture resistant
housings are required.
Protect terminals of heating
elements from drippings, condensation, fumes, spray or any other
substance which could result in element contamination.
When melting solids by direct immersion, a surface vent should be
provided to allow gases to
escape.
Operate the heater at � voltage until melted material completely
covers the heating elements.
Heaters used for
this purpose may require special design features. Check factory for
recommendations.
Wiring and Control
Heaters must be wired by qualified personnel to electrical code
requirements.
Check supply voltage for compliance with heater nameplate voltage.
A line voltage or pilot duty thermostat should be used to control
the heater. The pilot duty
thermostat must be used with a contactor and (if
required) a transformer. Generally, heaters
supplied with built-in thermostats will
be factory prewired if suitable for line voltage operation.
Integral
thermostats not factory prewired are usually intended for pilot duty.
Heaters with explosion resistant terminal housings must only be
used in locations for which the
heaters are certified.
Check heater nameplate information for approval code.
Never energize an explosion resistant heater unless the terminal
housing cover is properly
tightened.
Start-Up and Inspection
Check that all terminal connections are tight.
Heaters stored for prolonged periods may absorb moisture. Using a
megger (insulation
resistance tester) check the value of the insulation
resistance to ground for each circuit.
Initial readings of over 500,000 ohms to
ground are normally acceptable. Should lower
readings be observed, check
factory for instructions.
Maintenance
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING.
Inspect periodically for corrosion, sludge build-up and for scale
removal.
Periodically check electrical connections for tightness.
