OPEN COIL HEATERS & ELEMENTS
OCH Series Open Coil Heaters & Elements consist of helical wound nickel-chromium resistance wires supported by interlocking ceramic insulators. The ceramic insulators are mounted on a flexible strap allowing for an element bend radius of 18 Inches.
These flexible elements are available for designs that will be inserted into standard 2" or 3" sch.40 or sch.80 closed pipe wells.
Open Coil Heating elements can be designed for a maximum heat flux or watt density of 12 watts/in2 or up to 1500 watts per linear foot for a 3" pipe well.
These custom-designed open coil heating elements are available as complete immersion heater assemblies, which include pipe well, an OCH element, terminal housing, and a thermostat.
