Electric heaters are often used in operations such as coal mines, at oil and gas sites and in aircraft hangars. Because the potential for explosion exists in these locations, heating must consist of explosion-proof heaters or heating systems that are termed as being explosion resistant. What many wonder is what the difference between explosion-proof and…
There are so many different kinds of industrial heaters available for different applications. At times it could be challenging understanding what heaters are suitable for certain industries. Getting a concept of what heaters can accomplish for any industry’s needs is important. Let’s go over the differences between a strip heater and a space heater. Strip…
There are many benefits of baseboard heaters, creating a perfect heating solution; requiring a limited amount of space and are quiet, safe, energy efficient, and easy to install, especially on a room-to-room basis where they are needed. Typical baseboard heating units range from 300 watts to 2000 watts in power, which can heat about 50-200…
For most industries today, more than half of the heat generated goes to waste. Industrial waste heat can be captured and reused within the same process, or transferred to an external process. As climate change, it makes energy efficiency a major concern around the world. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal to create…
If you are considering an infrared heater, it is important to understand how it will work and if it is the right choice for you. In this article we are going to ensure you understand what infrared heat is, how infrared heaters works, and the difference between an infrared heater and a space heater. Learn…
Many people wonder about the benefits of using electric over gas heating and vice versa. This debate seems to frequently come up when deciding what kind of heating system to choose that will best suit your needs. For that reason, we will be discussing gas vs electric heat to help you make the most informed decision possible….
Written by Heatrex’s own Fred Epstein and Gary White, this article will help you understand what impedance heating is and how it is used in today’s applications. “For decades, plumbers have thawed frozen water pipes by connecting portable welder electrodes to both ends of the frozen section and running a low-voltage current through the pipe….
The article below published by industrialheating.com by Ian Bartley discusses infrared heating and the two different ways it can be used. Now more energy efficient, Infrared speeds up aerospace tool heating using a low temperature process. See the article below: “Short-wave infrared emitters have allowed Mettis Aerospace to reduce the time required for the heating of tools…
