Mineral Insulated (MI) Cable Heaters
Mineral Insulated (MI) Cable Heaters
Therm-x is an industry-leading manufacturer of Mineral Insulated (MI) Cable Heaters for process temperature or viscosity maintenance in many industries include semiconductor, aerospace, alternative energy, chemical, and petrochemical, etc.
Therm-x designs and manufactures MI cable heaters by using our own MI Heating Cables constructed of solid series resistance wires embedded in highly compacted mineral insulation. This capability allows Therm-x to configure and build custom-design MI Cable Heaters to meet a variety of demanding applications.
We provide MI Cable Heaters made with various sheath materials suitable for applications under general or corrosive conditions. Our heaters allow high-temperature and high-power density applications with a watt density up to 80 w/sq inch and maximum exposure up to 1300oF. The robust bulk cable construction coupled with precision welding technology ensures our MI cable heaters exhibit unmatched long-term stability of performance.
Features and Benefits of MI Cable Heaters
Therm-x Mineral Insulated Cable Heaters begin with the manufacturing of Mineral Insulated (MI) heating cables or elements. The MI heating cables are used as the heating elements for MI Cable Hater, similar to the way as the tubular heating elements are used for process electric heaters, such as immersion, circulation, air duct, and radiation heaters. Individual MI heating cables or elements are fully assembled by using precision tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of terminals and hot-cold junction. Our MI heating cables features:
