Highlights of Micathermic Heater
- Micathermic heater uses mica as insulated material.
- Due to its superior dielectric strength and high thermal conductivity, mica is one of best insulation materials.
- According to its different applications, mica heaters can be manufactured into many different types, such as mica strip heater, mica band heater, and mica heating element.
- A nickel-chromium wire is often used as the heating core.
- Due to the higher thermal conductivity of mica, we can apply thinner insulation layer inside the heater, the heat flows easily from the heating core to the sheath surface.
- This results in a lower watt density on the heated surface and less heat dissipates.
- Thus micathermic heaters are very economical, compared with the heaters using other insulation materials.
