Finned channel strip heaters are highly efficient heating cells that are utilized in many air heating applications like driers, duct heaters, curing ovens, dehumidifiers and shrink tunnels. These heaters are designed to function in forced as well as natural convection air heating applications.
The core of these heaters are channel strip heaters that have 0.375” x 1.5” cross section. In order to make their exposed surface area relatively larger, finned channel strip heaters utilize 2” x 1.375” aluminized steel fins (Stainless Steel is optional) that are designed in such a way that they grip the channel heater housing and dissipate heat efficiently.
Finned channel strip heaters are made with slotted mounting tabs.
