THERMOCOAX Heating elements

Resistance heating is one of the first applications of electricity..

In the course of a century, thousands of heating problems have been solved ranging from megawatts down to a few watts, or less.

The fundamentals are always the same, the requirements and solutions widely different.

Between a large furnace constructed as an individual unit and a domestic heater produced in large quantities, there exist a number of cases where no “ready-made” solution is available.

For such cases, THERMOCOAX often presents a suitable answer to:

• Heating from the cryogenic temperatures up to
  >1000°C.

• Heat dissipation either very low or very high power （from few watts to several tens of kilowatts）.

• For use in air, under vacuum or high pressure and in any corrosive environment compatible with the sheath material.

• In applications requiring high reliability components.

Easy fitting

Electrical screening

• THERMOCOAX heaters can be attached directly to metal parts

Tight bending radius

• Only 3 times the outer diameter

Small dimensions

• The heat can be generated exactly where it is required thus power losses are reduced as well as power consumption

Excellent heat exchange

• The heater can be brazed onto any metal piece

Temperature sensors

The measurement of temperature is a very important element in many parts of research and industry.

A well-known and proven method in temperature measurement is the use of thermocouples.

Accurate and fast measurements, easy mounting, simple utilisation and interchangeability as well as low-cost production are the reasons for the widespread applications of the thermocouples.

They are resistant to heat and pressure and relatively insensitive to parasites.

Specific technical requirements like within nuclear reactors, in space research or in medical fields led to the development of sheathed thermocouples of small dimensions, high insulation resistance and high resistance to aggressive media.

All this is being fulfilled by miniature sheathed thermocouples.

THERMOCOAX offers the best possible solutions to temperature measurement. Many sensors are standard off-the-shelf designs, but many others are especially designed and manufactured to customer requirements, within a wide range of specifications or even developed in partnership with our customers.

• Small overall dimensions and high flexibility enable temperature measurement in locations with poor accessibility.

• High mechanical strength.

• Protection of the thermoelectric wires against oxidation, corrosion and chemical pollution.

Accurate measurement

• Short response time: as an example, the intrinsic response time of a 0.25 OD mm THERMOCOAX thermocouple is 7 ms, the actual response in high velocity air is then 0.1 s. This very fast response time allows measurement of very short temperature variations.

  Easy fitting

• The continuous metallic sheath ensures a mechanical and chemical protection of the couple and THERMOCOAX thermocouples can be attached directly to metal parts

  Tight bending radius

• Only 3 times the outer diameter

  Small dimensions

• Down to 0.25 mm OD, the THERMOCOAX thermocouples can be inserted in any tiny equipment
