Mass Transit Company Gets On Board With Tutco

Public transportation vehicles often have small heaters under the seats for passenger comfort. One mass transit company, that was renovating their older passenger cars, came to TUTCO needing a small lightweight heater for this application. Many of the existing heaters, which had been in place for years, had failed and the company that originally built the cars was no longer in business. The heaters needed to fit within a very specific envelope and installation pattern while being as lightweight as possible. The application required very little heat which meant the watt density of the heater would be very low. 

TUTCO HT Mica Band Heaters offer the most comprehensive range of customization available, including distributed wattage, holes, or cut outs based entirely on the application requirement. We developed an HT Mica Band Heater with special mounting holes and terminal locations and orientations designed specifically for the application. They fit the existing space as required and provided the perfect amount of heat to take the chill off of passengers commuting to work on chilly mornings.
