Code Heaters/Heat Resistance Tapes/Ribbon Heaters

Cord Heater Features Excel in heat resistance as the sheathing of the heater is silicon rubber. As the heater is of cord shape, it can be fitted in any type of shape. Maximum Operating Temperature is 180C. Basic Structure This is a heater integrating a heat generating body with the silicon rubber. Basic Structure Diagram

Mounting Method Install directly onto piping. As an example to secure the heater, heat resisting aluminum tape can be used. (Fig.1) (Fig. 1)

Selection Method (Cord Heaters, Ribbon Heaters and Silicon Belt Heaters) Determine the heat quantity(W) required for the heater. Calculate with the following formula by using the heat insulating thickness, size of piping, temperature of piping and temperature difference with the external atmospheric temperature. (Refer to Fig. 2, table 1 and 2) Heat Quantity Required for The Heater(W)=Number of Watt per 1m of Pipe(W/m)xLength of Pipe(m) Ex.)

Cautions Do not let heater run idle in atmosphere. It may cause fire and break the wire. Ensure the heater is closely contacted with a heated object when using. Do not install by overlapping the heater. Make sure to connect wire terminals with attention to contact condition. Do not use over the rated voltage(V). When the heater is removed from the heat generating body, make sure that the power is turned off. In addition, do not touch the heater immediately after the power is turned off. Use the temperature controller for safety. (Fig. 2)

The case of heating a piping to 30C with size of 15A(1/4B), length of 1 m (heat insulating thickness is 25 mm, external atmospheric temperature is 20C). From Table 1, heat insulating thickness of 25 mm, piping size of 15A(1/4B), temperature difference between piping temperature(30C)and external atmospheric temperature(20C)is 10C , the No. of watt per 1m of piping is 4.0(W/m). Therefore : Heat-retention Thickness Heat Quantity Required for The Heater (W)=4.0 (W/m)x1 (m)=4.0W

Fluorine Coating Type As the fluorine coating has been applied on the glass cloth sheathing, dust raise is controlled. Also, heat resistance is excellent. As the heater is of belt shape, it can be fitted in piping or tanks easily. Maximum operating Temperature is 200C. Cautions Do not let heater run idle in atmosphere. It may cause fire and break the wire. Ensure the heater is closely contacted with a heated object when using. Prevent the use of heaters from getting wet by water, oil or humidity, as the surface is glass cloth sheathing. Do not install by overlapping the heater. Make sure to connect terminals with attention to contact condition. Do not use over the rated voltage (V). When the heater is removed from the heat generating body, make sure that the power is turned off. In addition, do not touch the heater immediately after the power is turned off. Use the temperature controller for safety. Method to Determine the No. of Winding (Cord Heater, Ribbon Heater and Silicon Belt Heater)
