Free Flexible Heaters Design Guide
Learn how you can flex, twist and bend uniform or profiled heat
patterns when you use this handy guide.
Minneapolis, Minn., July 7, 2008-Minco, a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical applications, has a new, free design guide that will enable you to design flexible Thermofoil(TM) heaters. With elements sandwiched in-between thin layers of various insulations, these flexible heaters can wrap, bend and twist to heat three-dimensional components-something very difficult to do with conventional rod, coil or cable heaters. The Flexible Heaters Design Guide can ordered in print from Minco's website or downloaded.
The 62-page guide explains the benefits and gives complete specifications. You will also learn how to choose appropriate insulation type and installation option. There is also a step-by-step guide on calculating required wattage and tips for testing and prototyping your heater. The guide also helps you determine whether one of Minco's thousands of standard heater designs or a custom design will be your best option. In addition to the Guide, a Flexible Heaters Prototype Design Kit is also available.
The Minco Engineer2Engineer Community gives you ready access to engineers at Minco who are happy to discuss your heating requirements. You can access this community via the website (http://www.minco.com), or phone 763-571-3121 for more information.
