The Entire Specification

We all get fooled occasionally, and when we do, it brings home the importance of asking the right questions and making sure the specification for a heater is correct. There are some things about a heater that we cannot see and cannot detect with a simple resistance check. Distributed wattage and specially designed cold sections are typical examples.

Often, cold sections in a heater are a function of the design and manufacturing limitations of the supplier. But sometimes we get fooled. Once we had a heater supplied as a sample from which to design. Using an x-ray, we pointed out the long cold tip to our customer as if it were a limitation of the heater. This Original Equipment Manufacturer came back (after they had supplied the whole spec to us) and said, "Oh, yes, we need that extra cold section at the end of the heater for our machine design."

Dalton Electric Heater Specification

The above picture shows a heater that was designed to have a specific area heated. If we followed the initial specification, we would have had a heated section where no heat sink existed. If you have any question about the heater after inquiring about any special heat profiling, send Dalton Electric the heater and we will perform a thermal study or x-ray to ensure that you optimize your sales opportunity.

 

 

Friday Funnies

 

After losing another tooth, eight-year-old Timmy became more curious about the elusive tooth fairy.

Finally putting two and two together, he came right out and asked his mother, “Mom, are you the tooth fairy?”

Assuming he was old enough to hear the truth, she replied, “Yes, I am.”

Timmy seemed to take this news quite well. But as he headed for the door, he slowly turned back toward his mother with a curious look on his face and said, “Wait a minute. How do you get into the other kids’ houses?”.
