Tempering Furnace Heaters

Tempering oven heaters are crucial components used inside industrial ovens. These heaters convert electrical energy into thermal energy to control the temperature inside the oven and carry out desired processes. Tempering ovens are typically used for the heat treatment of metal parts, and the temperature inside these ovens can reach high degrees.

Heaters Used in Tempering Furnace

• Tubular Heaters: These heaters consist of a wire or coil placed inside metal tubes or pipes. The tubes provide heat dispersion inside the furnace and are usually positioned around metal parts.
• Kanthal Heaters: Kanthal is a type of resistance wire made of nickel-chromium alloy. It is resistant to high temperatures and is commonly used in tempering furnaces. Kanthal wire can be in tubular heaters or mounted directly on furnace walls.
• Heating Elements: Some tempering furnaces may use special heating elements placed directly around metal parts. These elements can be resistant wire or plate-shaped and provide direct heat around the metal parts.
• Gas Burners: In large industrial tempering furnaces, gas burners powered by natural gas or liquid fuel may be used. These burners provide direct heating by supplying combustible gases into the furnace.
