Applications

  • Freeze protection

Application Hints:
 
  • Allow a three-inch (76 mm) gap between heater ends when clamped around a drum.
  • Heaters with thermostat settings of 40°F and 60°F (4°C and 16°C) will have open circuit readings if room temperature exceeds the thermostat settings.
  • Heaters cannot be bench tested since the thermostat is located over a no-heat section of the heater. Accurate testing of the heater requires it to be placed over the drum which is to be heated.
  • When a single heater is used, place the heater at the bottom of the drum to minimize stratification.
