Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Tempco MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Vulcan and Briskheat heaters, thermostats and temperature controllers. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Tempco products available.

Shipping

These Tempco products range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, these Tempco items are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

About Tempco

The brand's catalogue comprises band heaters, cartridge heaters, enclosure heaters, immersion heaters, infrared heaters, radiant process heaters and strip heaters; sensors and temperature controls for various application needs. Tempco's immersion heaters are suitable for heating water and other liquids. They feature passivated Incoloy sheath and epoxy seal to prevent corrosion of the heated element by keeping contaminants away. They offer high watt density (up to 208 sq-inch) to permit greater heat dissipation, as compared to tubular immersion heaters, in a given area. They come with Teflon-insulated wires that withstand high temperatures and chemicals. In addition, they provide high dielectric strength to reduce electrical hazards and are non-stick to prevent the buildup of deposits on heating elements for efficient heating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of an aluminium track in Maxistrip heaters?

An aluminium track houses the tubular heating element and provides an excellent heat sink for rapid heat transfer and temperature uniformity.

What is the use of quick-disconnect plugs in Maxistrip heaters?

Quick-disconnect plug assemblies allow the simplest and safest way to apply power to strip heater installations. The combination of plug and cup assembly eliminates the need for live exposed terminals and electric wiring that can cause potential hazards like electric shocks.

What are temperature controllers?

Temperature controllers are devices that regulate and maintain a set temperature. They work by comparing the current temperature to the set point and adjusting the heating or cooling output to maintain the desired temperature. They are commonly used in HVAC systems, ovens, refrigerators and other temperature-controlled systems.
