Heating - Forced Convention Blower Heater
Calienté’s FCH Forced Convection Heaters are an excellent option when an entire enclosure and its contents need to be cost-effectively heated. The designs are compact and easily mounted with standard-sized 35mm DIN clips.
By utilizing either standard resistance, or self-regulating PTC technology, there is built-in safety from overheating, and the benefit of multi-voltage operation. Higher wattage versions and DC units can be configured with standard resistance elements where there is an inrush current concern. They are also excellent for anti-condensation applications, and are a much safer alternative to standard strip heaters. Calienté offers a variety of sizes, ranging from compact DC powered heaters for camera lens defogging, to 80mm AC version yielding 800 plus watts to heat larger areas.
