Tubular and Finned Tubular – Electric Heaters

Overview

Up to 13 kW per sq.ft. (Tubular)

Up to 15 kW per sq.ft. (Finned Tubular)

Heating elements not in direct contact with air

Element of U or W shape:

  • Tubular Elements:
    -Incoloy 840 (Nickel alloy)
    -Stainless Steel 316L (optional)
  • Finned Tubular Elements:
    -Steel tubes with Steel fins
    -Stainless Steel 316L tubes with Stainless Steel 304 fins (optional)

Integrated HEC controller

Advantages

The Tubular and Finned Tubular heater type offers
an excellent mechanical resistance, suited for
demanding environments. These elements are less
sensitive to humid and dusty environments but offer
a slower response time.

Tubular vs Finned Tubular

Tubular Elements:
- Incoloy 840 (Nickel alloy)
- Stainless Steel (optional) tube with a diameter of 7/16"
(11mm) with heating coil in magnesium oxide powder

Finned Tubular Elements:
- Steel or stainless steel (optional) tubes, with fins installed on the tube to allow a higher heat dissipation capacity.

Overview

Heater

Supply and Discharge Sensors

Used to calculate a true ΔT by
eliminating the offset from radiant
heat. Two Neptronic STC8-11 duct
temperature sensors included.

BMS Integration

Integrate with a BMS and intelligent
buildings via BACnet MS/TP or
Modbus to propel you towards
the Internet of Things (IoT)

Remote Monitoring

Perform energy management, alarm
monitoring and remote diagnostics
even without integrating with a BMS.

Real-Time Clock (RTC)

Enables real-time data, trending,
and scheduling.

Remote User Interface (TRL24)

Displays alarms, room temperature,
setpoint, status and demand.

Built-in Current Transducers

Calculates real-time power
consumption (kW) data.

Benefits

Save Energy

  • Embedded and configurable energy conservation strategies
  • Automatic or dynamic load shedding
  • Limit electric heater consumption based on multiple variables
  • Provides real-time temperature measures and power consumption data

Save Time

  • View heater status and alarms remotely via network or thermostat
  • Remote monitoring (status, alarms, diagnostics, and trending)
  • Wall-mount remote user interface (view temperature, setpoint, heater status and alarms)

Integrate

  • Integrate with BMS and intelligent buildings via BACnet MS/TP or Modbus
  • Multiple BACnet/Modbus points to propel you towards the Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Ensure better management of energy consumption for the future

Standard Features
