FIREBAR® SINGLE/DOUBLE-ENDED HEATERS

FIREBAR heating elements provide added heating performance over standard round tubular heating elements—especially for immersion applications in petroleum-based liquids requiring high kilowatts.

The FIREBAR’s unique flat surface geometry packs more power in shorter elements and assemblies, along with a host of other performance improvements. These include:

-Minimizing coking and fluid degrading
-Enhancing the flow of fluid past the element’s surface to carry heat from the sheath
-Improving heat transfer with a significantly larger boundary layer allowing much more liquid to flow up and across the sheath’s surface
FIREBAR elements are available in single- and double-ended constructions with one inch or 5⁄8 inch heights. These two configuration variables make it possible to use FIREBAR elements instead of round tubular elements in virtually all applications.

FINBAR is a special version of the one inch, single-ended FIREBAR. FINBAR is specially modified with fins to further increase surface area for air and gas heating applications.

• 70 percent greater surface area per linear inch compared to a 0.430 in. (11 mm) diameter round tubular heater
• Compacted MgO insulation maximizes thermal conductivity and dielectric strength
• Precision wound nickel-chromium resistance wires
• 0.040 in. (1 mm) thick MgO walls transfer heat more efficiently
• Three resistance coil design readily adapts to a variety of electrical sources and wattages outputs
