5 DESIGN FACTORS THAT DETERMINE HEATER ELEMENT EFFICACY
When choosing a heater element, emphasis should be placed on the element’s efficiency above all else.
Various factors can determine a heating element’s effectiveness, but they can easily be overlooked. This post will examine key design factors that influence the efficacy of heater elements and weigh them into your purchasing decision.
Electrical resistance
Heating elements perform when the tape or wire resists the flow of electricity, resulting in a transfer of electrical energy into heat. We measure the electrical resistance of a metal by a “unit length of unit cross-sectional area.”
