Heater Applications

Moisture in resin heated past its melting point breaks the molecular polymer chains into shorter pieces. This can lower the intrinsic viscosity of the resin and degrade the performance...

Rework equipment uses heaters and controls to warm and safely melt solder. The purpose is to remove and replace (or re-position) SMD components. Rework heaters must deliver accurate and repeatable results.

Electric air heaters are used in interstation and final stage dryers to expedite the evaporation of ink solvents and water.

Dehumidifiers remove moisture vapor from the air, which is useful in a wide range of applications. Heat plays an important role in dehumidification and all commercial & industrial dehumidifiers require heaters.

A resistive load bank contains a network of resistors intended to absorb a load from a generator, battery, or other power sources.

Heat staking is a method of permanent joint assembly involving heat and compression to deform a protruding plastic stud.

ECUs offer heating, cooling, and sometimes humidity control for vehicles, aircraft, containers, soft structures, and weapon systems. Durability, portability, and rapid deployment are all important factors.

Gas Chromatograph operators seek greater speed and accuracy from their analytical equipment. Temperature control plays an increasingly important role as equipment evolves to meet demand.

Tutco-Farnam designs and builds electric heating elements used by bed bug equipment manufacturers in their high-temperature products. Killing bed bugs with heat is a popular method with many advantages.

Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) are frequently used for climate control. Examples include sleeper cabs, aircraft cabins, and anywhere humans seek a comfortable temperature without using the main system's power.

Food industry professionals seek finer temperature and moisture control in their holding equipment. They want longer hold times while maintaining food quality and safety.

An enclosure holds equipment and protects against ingress. Enclosure heaters prevent moisture, condensation, and low temperatures that can harm electronics and mechanical systems.
