TUTCO SureHeat's Over Temperature Protection
At TUTCO SureHeat, we understand the critical importance of delivering custom heating solutions that perform reliably and include robust failsafe protection to prevent unscheduled downtime.
At TUTCO SureHeat, we understand the critical importance of delivering custom heating solutions that perform reliably and include robust failsafe protection to prevent unscheduled downtime—even under the most severe operational errors. As part of that commitment, TUTCO SureHeat engineers developed the ultimate protection for resistive wire heating: our patented Over Temperature Protection (OTP). By integrating the heater’s Type "K" thermocouple sensors with external limit controls, OTP safeguards heating elements from premature failure caused by limited or no airflow.

At TUTCO SureHeat, we deliver heating systems that are not only highly reliable but also inherently safe. That’s exactly why we developed our patented Over‑Temperature Protection (OTP)—an integrated safeguard designed specifically for resistive wire heating elements.
.
How OTP Works
Multi-point temperature sensing: Built into every heater are Type K thermocouples—strategically located on the element, at inlet and outlet points—to continuously monitor temperatures across critical zones.
.
External limit control: These thermocouple signals feed into an independent OTP limit circuit housed in our control cabinet. Working alongside PID-based power control, this dedicated safety circuit cuts off heater power immediately if predefined thresholds are exceeded.
