Te Electric Heater
The Te electric heater is designed for industrial process-liquid heating, particularly applications where the heating element is exposed to chemically active or corrosive media. Its tubular construction combines a resistance heating wire with an insulating and heat-transfer filling material, allowing electrical energy to be efficiently converted into heat and transferred to the surrounding process liquid.
The heater can be configured according to the chemical characteristics, operating temperature, tank dimensions, and heating requirements of the application. This makes it suitable for electroplating, chemical processing, surface treatment, and other industrial liquid-heating systems.
Key Features
-
Designed for Chemical Process Heating: Suitable for heating process liquids used in electroplating, chemical treatment, and other industrial applications.
-
Material Selection Based on Chemical Compatibility: Heater sheath materials can be selected according to the composition, concentration, temperature, and corrosiveness of the process liquid.
-
Efficient Heat Transfer: The tubular construction provides an effective heat-transfer path between the internal resistance wire and the surrounding heating medium.
-
Compact Industrial Design: The heating element can be configured for installation in different types and sizes of process tanks.
-
Flexible Configuration: Voltage, heating power, dimensions, sheath material, and control configuration can be customized according to equipment requirements.
-
Suitable for Continuous or Batch Heating: The heater can be integrated into different industrial heating systems according to the required process cycle.
Material Options
For different chemical liquids, available heater sheath materials may include 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, titanium (Ti), and other chemically compatible materials.
Material selection should take into account the chemical composition, concentration, pH, operating temperature, immersion conditions, and expected service life. For strongly corrosive plating or chemical solutions, the material should be verified for compatibility before final selection.

Chemical Compatibility for Corrosive Solutions
When an electric heater is used in an electroplating or chemical process tank, the chemical compatibility of the heater's wetted components must be considered.
The selection should take into account:
-
Chemical composition of the solution
-
Chemical concentration
-
Operating temperature
-
Exposure time
-
Required heating capacity
-
Tank material
-
Continuous operating conditions
-
Corrosion resistance requirements
For corrosive electroplating solutions, the heater material should be confirmed against the actual process chemistry before production. Greatwell can review the customer's solution information and operating conditions to determine the appropriate heater configuration.
How to Select a TE Electric Heater
Selecting an electric heater for a corrosive electroplating solution requires consideration of both heating performance and chemical compatibility.
1. Chemical Solution
Identify the chemical composition and concentration of the solution to determine the required chemical-contact material.
2. Operating Temperature
Confirm the normal and maximum operating temperature of the process solution.
3. Tank Volume
The volume of liquid to be heated affects the required heating capacity.
4. Heating Time
The required heating time should be considered when determining the heater power.
5. Tank Dimensions
Heater length and installation position should be compatible with the tank dimensions.
6. Electrical Supply
Voltage and power requirements should match the available electrical supply and control system.
7. Temperature Control
For processes requiring stable bath temperature, the heater should be integrated with suitable temperature monitoring and control equipment.
