What is a Finn Tubular Heater?

A Finn Tubular Heater is a type of industrial tubular heater equipped with multiple fins spirally wound around the heating element. These fins increase the surface area, significantly enhancing heat transfer efficiency, especially for air and non-corrosive gas heating applications. This design allows faster heating, lower sheath temperature, and longer element life, making Finn Tubular Heaters ideal for forced air ducts, dryers, ovens, and other heating environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Enhanced Surface Area – Multiple fins boost convective heat transfer for faster and efficient heating.
  • Durable Construction – Stainless steel or aluminum fins furnace brazed to a rugged tubular element provide strength and corrosion resistance.
  • High Operating Temperatures – Suitable for use up to 1200°F (650°C) depending on sheath and fin materials.
  • Energy Efficient – More heat output in smaller spaces reduces power consumption and operating costs.
  • Customizable Designs – Available in various diameters, lengths, and fin spacing to meet specific application needs.
  • Longer Element Life – Lower sheath temperatures reduce wear, extending furnace and oven heater lifespan.
