OEMs in the analytical, semiconductor, biomedical, life-science, food service and environmental industries continually design new pieces of equipment offering their customers greater efficiencies, smaller foot prints and greater production rates. When the piece of OEM equipment requires precise heating, consultation with an experienced thermal systems engineer will provide significant time savings and budget control.More specifically, working with an experienced thermal system consultant provides these important benefits: front-end, practical design review to optimize manufacturability; timely prototype development; partnerships and alliances with platers, brazers, casters and heating element manufacturers; single source responsibility; testing and calibration; inventory management; value-added assembly; and cleaning and packaging.
The following are some examples where the OEM and thermal system consultants worked together for a successful custom electric heating / thermal system design:
 |
| Small Diameter Cable Heating Element |
