Watlow FIREBAR® Single/Double-Ended Heaters

Watlow FIREBAR® Single/Double-Ended Heaters

Product Overview

Watlow's FIREBAR® single/double-ended heater provides a unique flat surface geometry which packs more power in shorter elements and assemblies.

Overview

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.

Features & Benefits

  • 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.
