Ceramic fiber heater
ZIRCAR Ceramics

Fiber Insulated Heater Type FIH combines a heat source with superior high temperature insulation - an ideal solution for many industrial heating applications. These heaters deliver fast, efficient and reliable uniform heat to temperatures of 1100°C (2012°F). Designed to deliver power densities up to 1500 watts/ft2, FIH is one of the most versatile embedded element radiant heaters produced. OEM furnace and thermal process equipment manufacturers plus end users alike have embraced this combination heating and insulating system.

ZIRCAR Flat Panel, Full Cylinder and Semi-Cylinder Fiber Insulated Heaters Type FIH consist of high quality helically-wound Fe-Cr-Al alloy resistance wire elements embedded in a rigid body of vacuum formed high temperature refractory fiber. The lightweight ceramic fiber insulation has very low thermal mass and thermal conductivity and thus can handle extremely rapid cycling. Elements are typically mounted flush with the heated surface. The diameter of the helically wound element coil is kept to a minimum, reducing the difference between the element and chamber temperature, thus ensuring long heater life, and enabling the design and manufacture of extremely responsive heating systems.

All ZIRCAR Fiber Insulated Heaters are 100% organic free and will not smoke or outgas when heated. ZIRCAR Fiber Insulated Heaters are available in flat panel, full cylinder and semi-cylinder shapes - with several lead styles.
