The flat shape of '''strip heaters''' provides greater surface area of length than round elements which means equipment can be designed with more wattage in less linear space. Or by replacing a round element with a strip heater of the same length, the watt density can be significantly reduced. In immersion applications, the narrow profile increases the natural convective flow of fluids, resulting in lower sheath temperature and improved heat transfer to the process. | |||
