Temperature optimization of an electric heater by emissivity variation of heating elements

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThis note addresses an industrial application concerning the way to optimize the surface temperature of commercial electrical heater. The aim of this paper is to reduce the temperature on accessible surfaces and electrical heater in order to respect the European standards and quality criteria imposed by the manufacturer. This target must be achieved by changing only the emissivity distribution of the electric heater components. A numerical study of the natural convection flow coupled with radiat… Show more

“…A simple correlation presented to predict the gross thermal efficiency as a function of percent excess air and stack gas temperature. C.Hemmer, G.Polidori, and C.Popa, [3] noted an industrial application concerning the way to optimize the surface temperature of the commercial electrical heater. The aim of this paper is to reduce the temperature on accessible surfaces and electrical heaters.…”

“…A few approaches to increasing the uniformity of electrical heating elements have been undertaken. These include changing the emissivity of the element [23], altering the geometry or thickness of the element [24], and the incorporation of large thermal blocks to store or distribute the thermal energy [25]. The approach taken by this research is an additional manufacturing process to increase the uniformity of the temperature profile by using an automated laser ablation system with an integrated infrared imaging camera.…”
