Temperature and humidity in electrical panel environments are critical for system continuity and safety. Sudden temperature drops cause humidity to condense into water (dew point), leading to insulation failures in equipment. Panel heaters prevent these risks.
Advantages
• The most efficient body surface area for space heating is achieved through enhanced extrusion and anodizing.
• The casing of Aktif heaters provides 120% higher surface efficiency compared to stainless steel tubular heaters.
• High thermal conductivity and electrical insulation magnesium oxide (MGO) powder is used as the insulation material.
• The use of stainless steel resistance wire with a low temperature-resistance coefficient ensures that the heater’s power does not decrease during operation.
• PTC heaters cannot prevent condensation as their power significantly decreases during operation.
• Aktif heaters offer the best solution for moisture reduction, being 60% more efficient than tubular heaters and 670% more efficient than PTC heaters.
• For panel heaters to perform their function uniformly, it is important to evenly distribute heat within the enclosure. The temperature difference across various points in the enclosure is a maximum of 20°C for the heaters.
• The moisture reduction rate of panel heaters must exceed the rate of sudden temperature drops. Aktif panel heaters are designed to meet this requirement with their structural and electrical features.
Application Areas
