TUTCO engineered a highly customized tubular element assembly capable of withstanding exposure to the diverse chemical solutions present in the manufacturing process.

In the design of a custom open coil heating element, several factors need to be considered when selecting the optimum coil(s) for an application.

In the world of heaters, surface heaters aren’t really very sexy – they often consist of little more than a few pieces of mica and some wire.

Duct heaters made by TUTCO-Farnam are not for HVAC use. They are for industrial type applications and are not built to the standards required for the typical residential HVAC.

For a typical convection air heating application, the air temperature and the volumetric air flow entering the heating element, and the power produced by the element are known or can be specified.

Everyone’s familiar with the terms AC and DC, but understanding the key aspects between alternating current and direct current is vital in designing the optimal heat solution for your application.

WAPIs for the World, a non-profit company, approached us seeking cartridge heaters for their manufacturing process, which involved building a water purification capsule.
