LIT-PX135 - Tractor Trailers

Comfort Heating Convective strip and fin tubular heaters enable heating vehicle cabins without running the engine, providing enhanced fuel economy.

Battery Warming Low temperatures greatly diminish the “cold cranking power” of vehicle batteries. Low- voltage flexible heaters help overcome the power drain of sub-freezing temperatures.

Heating Engine Blocks Engine block oil becomes very viscous in cold weather. Application of cartridge and tubular heaters greatly aids with starting engines and reduces excessive wear.

Trailer WHY CHOOSE ELECTRIC HEAT? • Consistent pricing • Clean-running operation • No pollution • Quiet operation • Reduced footprint and envelope size • Minimal maintenance • Low operating cost • Safety • Large turndown / precise control Flexible Silicone Laminate Heaters Versatile Chromalox silicone laminate/flexible elements find use in applications requiring low to medium temperatures, up to 390°F (200°C). Rugged construction of lightweight material provides chemical and moisture resistance. Wire elements are durable and wound precisely within the structure for optimal performance. A variety of electrical, shape, and contour fittings meet a broad range of specifications.

Strip Heaters Rugged and easy to install, strip heaters trans- fer heat by either conduction or convection to heat surfaces. Strip heaters range from 0.5 to 2.5 in. (12.75 to 63.5 mm) wide and lengths to 72 in. (1.8 m). Units bolt or clamp to many surfaces. Many sheath materials, termination styles, operating temperatures, sizes, voltages, wattage ratings, and mounting devices are available. DEF totes must be kept above 32°F (0°C) to prevent the water content from freezing.Wrapping the totes with silicone laminate heaters and heat trace cable or immersing a heater in the tote is an easy, efficient solution. Electric heaters are also used for on-board SCR processes. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Temperature Maintenance

Cartridge Heaters Cartridge heaters are high-efficiency heating elements. Diameters of cartridge heaters range from 0.25 to 1.25 in. (3.175 to 31.75 mm).Watt densities are available from 25 to 262 W/in² (4 to 40 W/cm²) and sheath temperatures to 1,600°F (870°C). Optional end seals resist contaminants and moisture from entering inside the heater. Chromalox provides a variety of sizes, wattage ratings, voltages and protec- tive features to meet many challenging applications.
